Playboy Enterprises is pulling its Facebook presence as the privacy scandal enveloping the social media service continues to grow, Playboy's Chief Creative Officer Cooper Hefner announced Tuesday.
Hefner, late Hugh Hefner's son, said Facebook's content guidelines and corporate policies contradict the company's values, which he considers to be "sexually repressive."
Playboy said Facebook's alleged data mismanagement is the last straw.
About 25 million people interacted with Playboy's Facebook pages. Playboy Enterprises Inc. says it will deactivate the accounts that it manages directly.
A smattering of other companies have made similar moves, including nonprofit Mozilla, which created the Firefox browser, Elon Musk's companies SpaceX and Tesla and German bank Commerzbank.
