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.

    Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

    Alt-speak: we only care if the media report that our ad placements were next to questionable contents.

      lmao at the fact that even a company named GILEAD doesn’t want anything to do with Musk trying to kickstart a handmaid’s tale
