"Advertisers are returning to Twitter after Linda Yaccarino calmed fears over content moderation. But now brands like Disney, Microsoft, and the NBA have ads placed next to neo-Nazi propaganda."

Disney, Microsoft, the NBA had Twitter ads next to neo-Nazi propaganda

The world's biggest advertising agency, GroupM, previously called ads on Twitter "high risk" for brands. The group removed that label last month.

@juddlegum I'd say that brands would want to stay far away from any company that auto responds with a poop emoji. 🤷‍♂️

@juddlegum Wwhhhaaaa????
Companies that advertise on hate sites are surprised that their ads end up beside hate?

Nobody could have possibly seen that coming.

@juddlegum I'm a nobody on Twitter since 2013 and only follow 50 accounts but have yet to see a neo Nazi ad. Just curious as to what you have to do to trigger these in your feed.

@Mea @juddlegum it’s not neo Nazi ads, it’s Pro nazi tweets and articles with Disney ads embedded in or posted alongside Etc etc.

@juddlegum

Odd. It seems only a couple of months ago that someone was repeatedly bellowing about the advertisers returning, and deeply upsetting certain users.

@juddlegum @mt I wonder what they’re trying to sell to the neo-nazis. It’s not like these are usually successful and well adjusted people with a successful business or a lot of disposable income.

@juddlegum Do Microsoft know that every time you open Twitter, the first thing you see is usually some Qanon crackpot informing us that Bill Gates is about to be arrested for vaccines?
