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.

    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.

        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

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

        Look at pride month or the bud light thing
