Starbucks Also Stops Social Media Ads | Financial

Coffee shop chain Starbucks will stop advertising on social media for the time being, reports the American NBC News. The announcement comes after Coca-Cola, Verizon, and several Unilever brands including ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s and clothing brands Patagonia and The North Face, among others, made such decisions. Facebook in particular is blamed for not removing messages calling for violence against Black Lives Matter protesters. They also find the fact that the company identifies the far-right website Breitbart as a trusted news source, a problem.
