13 Companies Drop Facebook Advertising Over Domestic Violence Content
Last week,activists launched a campaign that urged companies to boycott Facebook advertising because the social media network allows users to post images of domestic violence against women, while banning advertisements about women’s health. More than a dozen companies have pulled their advertising as a result, including online bank Nationwide UK, Nissan UK, and J Street.
Many larger companies have been slower to respond, including two companies that market brands specifically to women. Dove,a Unilever brand that is running a “self-esteem” ad campaign for women, is facing pressure on Twitter, while Procter & Gamble’s response was, “We can’t control what content they [our advertising] pops up next to.

You have 100% control over where your ads pop up. Now that you've been made aware of the problem with Facebook, you could simply stop advertising on that site. Bingo - no more ads next to offensive posts! It's really quite easy. Take a step in the right direction, P & G.
PS - wasn't P&G the subject of consumer boycotts many years ago, on the basis that their trademarked logo was satanic, or something? As I recall, they spent a HUGE amount of time and money correcting that misperception. But having their ads pop up next to horribly misogynistic posts? We have no control over that. 
I hope people are still piling on the pressure. So far so good 
but we can't let up.
I thought I'd get some posts removed myself for posting screen shots of the stuff that is allowed on facebook but apparently they've stopped doing that.
If anyone needs examples to send to these companies (MASSIVE trigger warning, VERY disturbing images)
