IBM, Disney, EU pull ads from X as concerns over antisemitism fuel backlash

[IsraelTimes] Advertisers are fleeing social media platform X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with billionaire owner Elon Musk inflaming tensions with his own tweets endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

IBM said this week that it stopped advertising on X after a report said its ads were appearing alongside material praising Nazis — a fresh setback as the platform formerly known as Twitter tries to win back big brands and their ad dollars, X’s main source of revenue.

The liberal advocacy group Media Matters said in a report Thursday that ads from Apple, Oracle, NBCUniversal’s Bravo network and Comcast also were placed next to antisemitic material on X. The group on Friday added Disney, Lionsgate Entertainment, and Paramount Global to its list of companies pausing advertising on X.

...Musk sparked outcry this week with his own tweets responding to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and professing indifference to antisemitism. "You have said the actual truth," Musk tweeted in a reply Wednesday.
All because Israel wouldn't let him push his Starlink in Gaza.

#2 Welcome to the horrible side of free speech. It helps if you actually allow them to identify themselves, saves time in digging them out later and them trying to delete their tracks.
