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.
You mean just like placed next to regular Twitter content?
It’s a Nazi bar now.
Here comes the waterworks from the alt-right fanboys
Two groups of “people” who deserve each other soulless brands and elon.
One of the brands is Gilead Science. I know the name is based on the Balm of Gilead, but after The Handmaid’s Tale the name has a nasty resonance…
When the platform you are on can’t seem to figure out its own brand, maybe it is time to move on?
You mean they appeared on Twitter?
X, you mean. It’s the core of a swastika.

Is communism in the room with you at the moment?
Whatabout what your mom does, down by the docks at night?
Who is Lemmy to you? What would a ban look like to you?

Yeah Lemmygrad and Hexbear are garbage. They’re not fully about communism though, they’re designed to look like communism and support the CCP (and Kremlin).
Exploding Heads is just as bad on the other end of the spectrum. They’re ruining Lemmy, I’d be ashamed to recommend it to anyone with all the authoritarian propaganda.
m2c: no one should get banned for sharing his ideas. There’s a right to hate without exercising violence.

Even attempting to draw a parallel like that between race/ethnicity and material wealth is a fairly questionable take to most rational people I’d say, or at least hope.

You may have misunderstood my comment; it was intended to suggest that I strongly question your values and priorities because you’re attempting to equate something as innate as race with material wealth. I’d go further to say that your conflating communism and socialism with nazism and fascism is merely ideological drivel.
Like lemmy.world defederating from several tankie instances and the active discussion about defederating from additional communist instances?
Is that thing that is already happening the thing you want to happen or are there some additional things you want?
this surprises no one whos been paying any attention
I’m glad companies are pulling out of X but I’ve never understood this reasoning for removing your ads tbh.
Every single person who sees your ad knows that it has just been served by the website and has nothing to do with the post/content or author.
Like on youtube, why do companies not wanna advertise on a video with cussing? We all know that the language used in the video has nothing to do with the ad playing before.

You massively overestimate the intelligence of the average person. People are stupid AF and they will jump to ANY conclusion.
