[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Following Coca-Cola, PepsiCo has also joined the boycott of Facebook advertising.


On the 27th (local time), according to Fox Business and Bloomberg News, PepsiCo, the producer of Pepsi-Cola, has internally decided to suspend advertising on Facebook during July and August.


Earlier, Coca-Cola announced on the 26th that it would halt social media advertising, including on Facebook and Twitter, for at least 30 days. Coca-Cola added that this action was not solely targeted at Facebook.
