Denny's to join Facebook ad boycott starting July 1

'As America's Diner, we offer an inclusive and welcoming environment,' Denny's said

Breakfast favorite Denny's said Monday it will pause paid advertising on Facebook as part of the #StopHateForProfit boycott organized by civil rights groups.

"As America's Diner, we offer an inclusive and welcoming environment where all people can enjoy a nice meal and we strongly oppose hate speech of any kind," Denny's said in a statement. "It is our belief that Facebook has not done enough to address this important issue on its platform and we are calling on Facebook to make positive changes to its process for combatting hate speech and disinformation."
