Vodafone has pulled its advertising
from the Facebook social networking site
after its ads appeared on the profile homepage for the
British National Party.
The mobile phone company said the advertisements, which were purchased
through the OMD agency, broke
its policy of not allying itself with any political party.
A Vodafone spokeswoman said the company would advertise on the site again in
the future, but only when it was happy there were more controls over where its
ads would appear.
"We want to continue to advertise on Facebook but only when we are
comfortable that this is compatible with our other policies," she told the
Guardian Unlimited.
A spokesman for the BNP blamed the media for turning the right-wing
organisation into the "bogeyman" and scaring people off.
Searches for the acronym BNP have currently been suspended on Facebook.
