Walmart has stopped advertising on X, with their spokesperson noting: "We aren't advertising on X as we've found other platforms to better reach our customers."
Brands like Apple, Disney & Warner Bros Discovery also dropped out.
But here's what I don't get:
If this was really about ads appearing next to sensitive content, why only back away from advertising on X? Research has shown other platforms have many issues with sexually explicit content, hate content, scams, etc. This is not an X issue, it's a social media issue.
But X is the one being singled out.
It's not because the advertisers don't want want their content associated with the content, it's because they think being associated with X specifically hurts their reputation. It's not about some moral stand, it's about corporate virtue signalling to the public.
If they really care about the content itself, they'd stop advertising on social media in general, on ALL platforms. Or just admit that they don't care as long as they make money. Both positions are fine, but this one is riddled with hypocrisy.
@M7mdHusseinSS1@Mtn_Queen@AchmatX@FaroosJeremy @menchu_x_ Mauritanians literally calm themselves White and are referred to as White in the US the article showcases that as well. They’ve been calling themselves White since the 13th century.
@didou@realnikohouse Muhammad himself used to behead Jews-just take the L on this one. Muslims and Arabs have been slaughtering Hindus Christian’s and Jews for centuries. Look at the Mughals and ottomans.
@Abo_badr85 @AzzatAlsaalem Do you see any place where Christian’s are burning women alive anywhere in the West? Christian’s underwent a reformation. Christian’s follow the New Testament not the old. Islam also follows the Bible but consider the quaran to be the last holy book.
Dear Arab “influencers” this is not like every other trend you blindly jump on for the sole purpose of attention only. This is a fight against racism that black people face, so before you put on a blackface ask urself, how desperate are you to go that low
@defOKtobewhite @RobinDiAngelo Plenty of White ethnic groups were targeted for lynchings and ethnic based discrimination in the US and in their home countries where they immigrated from
@andy_buksterlin@TulsiGabbard Crusades were launched in response to Islamic invasion so she’s pushing back against Islamic extremists just like the crusaders
