Good. Now the companies in question can object to being advertised alongside hate speech, drop their funding, and create pressure for Musk to clean up the hateful accounts and hashtags that are forming an ever-thickening layer of scum on the surface of the Twitter pond. Or, you know, just hasten the merciful demise of this shitty platform.

Either way, the problem is the hate speech being allowed in the first place, not the hamfisted advertising strategy being peddled alongside it.

Or it normalizes white supremacy. But I hope most of these huge companies know which side their worker bread is buttered on.

Yeah but their financial bread is buttered by outrage.
