If it’s true that they took the site down then i don’t think so. They just don’t want “official” statements on the subject coming from some minimum wage phone lackey.
As someone who was a minimum wage phone lackey for a good few years, i wouldn’t have trusted me with this subject either
Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy says users can’t do anything illegal where they conduct business, or promote or threaten violence. Previous versions of its policy banned “hateful content,” according to archives available on the Wayback Machine, but the clause appears to have been removed in July 2024, based on cached versions of the page reviewed by Bloomberg.
because they told their front line support to say “no comment” on matters unrelated to Shopify stores? it seems like they took the store down, which really has little to do with the influx of support tickets and calls they likely got. I worked support for years – this is amazingly unsurprising and I think the correct move, if they did indeed take down the store that is.
idk people have to agree in some smoky board room on the correct message and policy and run it by legal or something. i mean there are probably lots of ppl involved

Shopify is a Nazi company, or at least sympathetic to Nazis.

e: spacing
How difficult is it to say "We at Shopify do not support Nazis*?
Lowest level rep: We at Shopify do not support Nazis
Shitty journalist: How about Kanye specifically? Do you support him?
Rep: Uh… I guess not?
Headline: Shopify says they don’t support black artists.

mmm delicious bland corporate platitudes
Yeah I wouldn’t be too happy if I was considered a Nazi for the actions someone else took with software I made.
