Starbucks considering leaving Facebook over hateful comments: report

 

American coffee behemoth Starbucks is reported to be considering leaving Facebook due to the tone of comments left on its posts about social issues and racial justice.

 

Facebook employees reportedly wrote that "Starbucks is in the process of evaluating their organic presence on FB, and whether they should continue to have a presence on the platform at all."

 

The comments went on to say that Starbucks experienced overwhelmingly "negative/insensitive, hate speech-related comments" on such posts, according to a report from BuzzFeed.

 

Should Starbucks remove its page from the social media platform, it would be one of the largest companies to do so, but not the first.

 

Elon Musk removed the SpaceX and Tesla Facebook pages in 2018 after he was challenged to do so on Twitter as part of the #DeleteFacebook campaign. While the companies remained on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, the pages were never reactivated on the platform.
