This stuff btw is classic extortion. Nothing more, nothing less. It's "pay X dollars, or we will use the power of the state to damage your business". A bunch of orgs will just pay up to avoid the hassle. The net effect is the politically connected divert dollars from the wider economy

That aside, it's another example of freedom grifters only respecting freedom they like.
Utter PoS.
I hope there's a meteorite out there somewhere with his name on it.
And at a superficial level, it's above board: Disney is paying for real ads. But Disney isn't fundamentally paying for ads. They're paying to have an easier life
What's a damn angel's name clarabel? Clarence... You've got to do something about him.
And money doesn’t actually come from either tax payers or bond holders
Trump IS a grifter. And he surrounds himself with them.

This is a footnote in terms of evil things Hitler did, but, it is one of them.
I dont see Trump doing that.
But we will see soon enough.
Jan 20 in coming.
And of course the whole Nazi Party was full of grifters and crooks, as Brecht showed so well in Arturo Ui.
I'm not sure we can complain that for profit enterprise will consider the MAGA side of the market. That isn't the same as buckling to coercion.
Half the country is an asshole. There will be asshole branding.
It is extortion, and Paxton, and the whole Abbott government, should be raked across the coals for it.
I assume the suit will be filed in the Northern District of Texas LOL!
Btw how many users have left the platform at thus point..
Brands just don't want to be associated with hateful content, it's why YouTube has had so many adpocalpyses, and why Twitch is currently going through one.
99% were for products I had no interest in, and that 1%? I don’t buy from companies that advertise on Twitter.
Is Paxton going to come after me for my freedom of choice as a shopper?
It’s un-American!

Just because they all agree that elmo is toxic to their brand doesn't mean they colluded to not advertise there.
They aren't lap dogs like you who have to support every idea fed to them by their master.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
No one told them not to advertise on the platform, Mr. Musk being a nazi, promoting CSAM, and generally being a wart on the ass of humanity made them not advertise on the platform.
Thanks for asking.
Potato/Potahto 🤦🏼♀️

The fact that this petulant, vengeful child is in charge of anything would amaze me, except they're all the rage right now.
