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.
Ads for brands including Adobe, Gilead Sciences, the University of Maryland’s football team, New York University Langone Hospital and NCTA-The Internet and Television Association were run alongside tweets from the account that had garnered hundreds of thousands of views, CNN observed.
Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.
Go back and re-read my comment. I didn’t say any of that shit. I just hate Adobe. Though I can play the same game you’re playing:
Wow, marmo7ade thinks Twitter should be hosting Nazi content! Let’s get this Nazi banned!
You mean just like placed next to regular Twitter content?
I hope you have that same energy for actual human beings and aren’t just deepthroating corporation boot.
NCTA and Gilead are an evil organization and an evil corporation. They should feel right at home with the Nazis.
Apple still advertises on Twitter. We need a website that tracks all of these companies that still advertise on that pro-nazi platform.
Companies don’t have ethics, they have profits
You shouldn’t read too much into it
Disagree on not reading into it. You should be appalled by the fact that profit comes at the sacrifice of ethics.
I don’t see why I shouldn’t look into it. Are there any good reasons not to?
