Facebook is in the midst of a scandal that has many questioning social media's privacy protection, with the Cambridge Analytica debacle poisoning the website's reputation. Hefner says that Facebook has been a "sexually repressive" platform but the company has taken the step now because of the recent reports of Facebook meddling with some 50 millions user data during USA elections 2016.
Playboy Enterprises said it will deactivate its accounts on Facebook, which cumulatively have more than 25 million followers.
Cooper Hefner, Playboy's chief creative officer and son of the magazine's founder, tweeted early Wednesday that Facebook's "content guidelines and corporate policies" continue to contradict Playboy's "values".
For its part, Playboy has also been in an effort to come to grips with societ's bright, attractive future on the internet, where Louvres worth of smutty images are available for free. "Today we take another step in that ongoing fight". "That is why we have announced that we will be leaving Facebook's platform, deactivating the Playboy accounts that Playboy Enterprises manages directly", Playboy concluded. "We have been faced with the only alternative being to alter Playboy's voice in order to meet Facebook's views of what is and is not appropriate on its platform", a statement from the magazine reads.

Playboy's erasure from Facebook follows similar moves by SpaceX and Tesla, which are both owned by Elon Musk.
In a statement, Playboy claimed Facebook's recent data mishandling controversy was their final concern with the platform over a long period of time, initiating their departure. WhatsApp founder Brian Acton tweeted the hashtag on March 20.
Fury has grown across the site's estimated 1.8 billion users after it was revealed that Cambridge Analyitica, the Trump campaign's data firm during the 2016 presidential race, used a third-party app to obtain private data from more than 50 million Facebook users, most without their consent.
