Shopify Allowing Sale of Holocaust Denial Merch11/20/2024
Canadian e-commerce platform Shopify is defending the right of its clients to sell antisemitic, Holocaust-denying merchandise on its platform.
As Bloomberg reports, a store identified by the Anti-Defamation League is selling anti-Jewish propaganda, including parodies of the likeness of Anne Frank. Naturally, the store is marketing the problematic wares on Elon Musk's X-formerly-Twitter, a place that has become the de facto online forum for hate speech and disinformation.
The seller fired back, arguing in an email to Bloomberg that "Free speech is our inalienable right and extends to what we wear."
But Shopify maintained an icy silence in response to multiple requests for comment. In other words, the company seems glad to take a cut from sales of fascist propaganda.

Firstly, I think we can dispense with the "formerly Twitter" nonsense at this point. Anyone who doesn't know that fact, that's on them.
But when you combine it with the second part, it really shows just how much they're still absolutely SEETHING over not controlling Xitter anymore. "This is a place for hate and lies! It used to BE SOMETHING when we called it Twitter!"
Coping, seething, dilating, and likely malding as well.

Since 2019, “malding” has become a popular slang term in both the gaming and Twitch streaming communities. As a combination of the words “mad” and “bald,” “malding” refers to people getting really angry (usually over a minor thing).

You get an upvote sir. Good job posting this. Normally this sort of this annoys the hell out of me but this one is just so funny it can't even be called journalism.

This is so true ... but not in the way one would think.
