Nestle hit by Facebook 'anti-social' media surge - 19 March
Critics of Nestle took social networking side Facebook by storm today when a Nestle company page on the site received thousands of complaints about the company's alleged use of palm oil from deforested areas in Indonesia. The barrage of comments came in response to a Greenpeace campaign launched this week accusing the company of sourcing palm oil from unsustainable managed rainforests in Indonesia, and destroying the habitate of endangered orang-utans. - Guardian website
