\n Facebook says it is testing ways to help advertisers avoid having their marketing messages places alongside inapp<\/a>ropriate content on the social network
\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Facebook on Friday said it is working on a way to let advertisers avoid having marketing messages appear in feeds alongside content they’d rather not be associated with.<\/p>\n

A small group of advertisers will soon start testing new “topic exclusion controls” being honed by the leading social network, according to a post.<\/p>\n

“These controls will help to address concerns advertisers have of their ads appearing in News<\/a> Feed next to certain topics based on their brand suitability preferences,” Facebook said.<\/p>\n

The internet giant gave the example of a children’s toy company being given the option of not having its ads appear along with content that falls into a “crime and tragedy” category.<\/p>\n

The move comes with the massive social network facing pressure from advertisers seeking to avoid toxic content and abusive content on the platform.<\/p>\n

“This product development as well as testing and learning in News Feed will take much of the year,” Facebook said.<\/p>\n

“These are new controls, and it’s important we build them with safeguards to protect people’s privacy as we continue to move forward.”<\/p>\n

Facebook makes most of its money from advertising, and has been grappling with curbing the spread of hate and misinformation at the social network.\n <\/p>\n\n
