Apple still advertises on Twitter. We need a website that tracks all of these companies that still advertise on that pro-nazi platform.
- Companies don’t have ethics, they have profits
  You shouldn’t read too much into it
  
  Disagree on not reading into it. You should be appalled by the fact that profit comes at the sacrifice of ethics.
  
  Yes but not enough people will boycott everything that supports things they are against. A lot of people will have a brand that they say “yeah but I really like them”
  And all corporations are evil, it’s not really a surprise
  
  Companies don't have ethics.
  
  Companies aren't real, they're just people organized into a collective, and people do have ethics.
  And contrary to Internet wisdom, corporations do not have a legal obligation to pursue profit at all cost.
  One might ask what the point of spreading that particular lie was.
  
  The company boards would gladly stuff you into Gaza if there was a profit to be made.
  
  Sure. But I find it strange that people act like those evil fucks are a faceless building and not individuals you can point to and say, "Hey, no, it's that guy, he enslaved those kids."
  
  What are we going to do? What recourse did the girls raped by Epstein have?
  
  I'm not going to say join a radical militia, but maybe see if any in your area look cool.
  
  I don't see why I shouldn't look into it. Are there any good reasons not to?
  
  You can look into it but it doesn’t mean company supports X
  Look at pride month or the bud light thing
- Found one it's called google, seem like all companies in the world advertise on twitter except for these two in the title that pulled out
