		</div><p>Starbucks has become the latest company to say it will suspend social media adverts after a campaign led by civil rights organisations called for an advertising boycott of Facebook.</p>
<p>The coffee chain said on Sunday that its actions were not part of the #StopHateforProfit campaign but that it is pausing its advertising while talking to civil rights organisations and its media partners about how to stop hate speech online.</p>

<p>Starbucks’ announcement follows statements from Unilever, the European consumer goods giant behind Ben &; Jerry’s ice cream and Dove soap; Coca-Cola; mobile phone company Verizon and outdoors companies like Patagonia, Eddie Bauer and REI; film company Magnolia Pictures; jeans maker Levi’s and dozens of smaller companies.</p>
<p>Some of the firms will pause adverts just on Facebook while others will refrain from advertising more broadly on social media.</p>
<p>In response to companies halting advertising, Facebook executive Carolyn Everson said earlier this week the social networking platform is committed to purging hateful content from its services.</p>
<p>“Our conversations with marketers and civil rights organisations are about how, together, we can be a force for good,” said Ms Everson, vice president of Facebook’s global business group.</p>
<p>Facebook’s market value dropped on Friday by more than 8%, or about 50 billion dollars, as more companies said they would pause ads. Twitter stock also dropped more than 7% on Friday.</p>

<p>Sarah Personette, vice president of global client solutions at Twitter, said on Friday the company’s “mission is to serve the public conversation and ensure Twitter is a place where people can make human connections, seek and receive authentic and credible information, and express themselves freely and safely”.</p>
<p>She added that Twitter is “respectful of our partners’ decisions and will continue to work and communicate closely with them during this time”.</p>
