Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg will meet with organizers of the Stop Hate for Profit campaign today to discuss how it is tackling hate on the platform.

The social media company's COO Sheryl Sandberg says it has to get better at finding and removing hateful content.

She says Facebook is making changes not for financial reasons or advertiser pressure, but because it is the right thing to do.

It comes after brands such as Coca-Cola, Lego and Starbucks stopped their Facebook ads due to its failure to control the publication of hateful and misleading content on its platforms.

Today FM has also suspended its advertising on Facebook in support of the Stop Hate for Profit campaign.

Meanwhile, the final report of Facebook's independent civil rights audit will also be published.

Civil liberties and civil rights experts have spent two years reviewing the social media giant's policies and practices.
