At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

    Apple still advertises on Twitter. We need a website that tracks all of these companies that still advertise on that pro-nazi platform.

        Disagree on not reading into it. You should be appalled by the fact that profit comes at the sacrifice of ethics.

          Yes but not enough people will boycott everything that supports things they are against. A lot of people will have a brand that they say “yeah but I really like them”

          And all corporations are evil, it’s not really a surprise

            Companies aren’t real, they’re just people organized into a collective, and people do have ethics.

            And contrary to Internet wisdom, corporations do not have a legal obligation to pursue profit at all cost.

            One might ask what the point of spreading that particular lie was.

                Sure. But I find it strange that people act like those evil fucks are a faceless building and not individuals you can point to and say, “Hey, no, it’s that guy, he enslaved those kids.”

        I don’t see why I shouldn’t look into it. Are there any good reasons not to?

          You can look into it but it doesn’t mean company supports X

          Look at pride month or the bud light thing
