When talking about keeping things private, Playboy might not be the most obvious champion of the concept. However, the household name in featuring nude women and salacious articles recently announced that it was deleting its Facebook page. This is apparently in protest of the social network’s role in the election meddling as well as its penchant to repress any topic of a sexual nature.
Playboy is by no means the only company to have made the decision to delete its Facebook page. Many other brands have already decided to pack up and leave, including Tesla and SpaceX, Gizmodo reports.
In the statement that the publication issued with regards to its decision, Playboy cited its 25 million followers as one of the reasons for leaving the social network. Facebook’s penchant for exposing its users to exploitation in exchange for dollars is apparently too much of an issue for Playboy to want to play any part in.
“While that has challenged our business objectives and the ability to reach our audience in an authentic way, the recent news about Facebook's alleged mismanagement of users' data has solidified our decision to suspend our activity on the platform at this time. There are more than 25 million fans who engage with Playboy via our various Facebook pages, and we do not want to be complicit in exposing them to the reported practices. That is why we have announced that we will be leaving Facebook's platform, deactivating the Playboy accounts that Playboy Enterprises manages directly,” the statement reads.
Cooper Hefner, the publication’s chief creative officer also Tweeted about the decision. In the post, he cited how difficult it was for Playboy to express itself on Facebook, which is why they decided that it was just better to leave.
"Facebook's content guidelines and corporate policies continue contradicting our values. We've tried to craft our voice for the platform, which in our opinion continues to be sexually repressive,” the Tweet reads.
