Twitter Runs Ads for Disney, Microsoft, NBA Alongside Neo-Nazi Videos
Ads from household-name brands and nonprofits are appearing beside clips of a film blaming Jews for causing World War II.

The fact that all those companies are still advertising on there is disheartening
"Nazis buy shoes, too."
It's just about the balance sheet...
Always has been 👩🏽🚀🔫👩🏽🚀
Companies have no moral, if they could get more money by selling children to the highest bidder, they would.
Many already make use of child labour in asian countries anyway.
Not to speak about the changing laws in some US states lowering minimum age for working, bringing back child labour.
It's always money.
Not even really surprised. And you know, now that this article is live, these companies are going to complain, and stop advertising for like a month, and then silently go back to advertising when everyone forgets.
I stopped advertising there years ago. I have a 501(c)3 and I couldn't allow my charity to be trashed for simply existing. They cater to the angriest people on the planet. I hope that doesn't replicate itself here.
And then they wonder why advertises are avoiding the platform.
While I agree this is a problem, it should be noted that the youtube adpocolips was triggered by similar concern on cherry picked examples that hurt creators in the end. We should be promoting the idea that algorithmically served ads are not an endorsement of what they are served with. The neo nazi stuff is a content moderation problem that needs to be fixed because of ... you know ... gestures broadly.
I’d rather watch Twitter burn under Musks feet.
Except Twitter does not view it as a content moderation problem and users of Twitter don't benefit from ads. If Elon wants ad revenue he should ban these people from the platform, instead he does the opposite.
