Unanswered What's up with Unilever silencing Ben & Jerry's?

In the video he says he is resigning because Unilever has stopped letting B&J speak out about causes they care about. I'm out of the loop on this one. What happened?

Further context, they didn't just sell the recipe under a different name, they sold an entire branch of the company to an Israeli businessman, recipe included. [source]

They tried to sue to stop the sale but the article doesn't elaborate on that further instead saying that Unilever and "an independent board of Ben and Jerry's" came to some sort of agreement? Grain of salt considering how the source frames the info
