Brands should force Twitter to uphold content policies under Musk, advocacy groups say
Following the announcement that Elon Musk would be purchasing Twitter, more than a dozen left-wing activist groups urged corporations to pull advertising money from the platform if it doesn’t continue to censor conservatives. “As top advertisers on Twitter, your brand risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation, and conspiracy theorists. Your ad dollars can either fund Musk’s vanity project or hold him to account,” the activists wrote. Musk, who leans left but opposes woke ideologies, purchased Twitter, in part, to protect free speech on the platform.
