Can you imagine seeing this on any other network? Can you imagine seeing this and continuing to advertise on it? https://t.co/iiiUojnXMM

These platforms, run the way they are now, will ruin our society. It is time for these idealistic, pie-in-the-sky billionaire founders to come to grips with the damage they are continuing to do to our humanity, step up and make wholesale changes. This is untenable. https://t.co/yTWOEBz8Zr

Matt here. My blood is running cold right now. This was posted on the @BreitbartNews comment section run by @disqus this summer after I was exposed by @DailyCaller. They left it up for FOUR FUCKING DAYS after it was reported. This could have been my family today because of it. https://t.co/eLRYW5yhAe

Congratulations to the sponsors of @FoxNews, who just bought themselves an extra dose of anti-Semitism on the day that 11 people were killed in a synagogue because the shooter hated Jews. Well done! https://t.co/S2hx1upg7J

The problem with social networks allowing hate on their platforms is that it never stays on their platforms. https://t.co/ix44ADhyhw

How many more times do we need to see these shooters’ and bombers’ violent, racist social media posts before we accept that the social networks and their lax policies ARE the problem? They are allowing people to get radicalized for profit. Full stop.

This thread makes absolute sense. How can companies that espouse diversity and inclusion continue to feel good sending their money to a network that has “Pocahontas” chyrons, anti-diversity screeds and contributors that call sexual assault victims “lying skanks”?

If you platform, host, monetize, don’t enforce your rules on, pay for, advertise on, provide software to or pretend not to know you’re doing business with those who consistently promote racist, anti-Semitic and bigoted rhetoric, you are an equal part of the problem.

Gab, the “free speech” platform where today’s shooter posted virulently anti-Semitic posts, is still monetizing through @Stripe and @PayPal. So far, they have refused to back out of this arrangement despite past promises.

How any brand can continue to flow money to this network with the ever-present risk of being seen as supporting bigotry, xenophobia and anti-Semitism (ON THE SAME DAY WHEN A SYNAGOGUE GETS SHOT UP!!!) makes absolutely zero sense. https://t.co/Zdu2JEgMej

THANK YOU @Hyatt! Not sure why this isn’t the default policy for all businesses. The vast majority of them all need to appeal to people of all races and religions. Why cater to groups that disparage anyone? https://t.co/DQgsdQPdQh

@BillKristol Bill, they won’t. They’ve been airing xenophobia, race-baiting and anti-Semitism for years and it has only gotten worse. Management won’t do a thing. The big question is why any brands continue to send their ad dollars to them, paying for this content.

@SteveSchmidtSES And not only that, @SteveSchmidtSES, but someone PAID for this. Advertisers continue to flow money into this network with no regard for the type of anti-Semitism, xenophobia and race-baiting they air nightly.

This is not a @LouDobbs problem. It’s a @FoxNews problem. This is not the first time this type of rhetoric has been on this network. Hell, it’s not even the first time THIS WEEK. If you’re advertising on this network, this is what you support. Full stop. https://t.co/JeZ6vYtRjc

Tonight, users of Gab are celebrating the killing of Jews and policeman in a deadly shooting and gladly using their credit card on @stripe to keep the social network going.

The story today is that Dr. Ford was probably assaulted, but by another person. The story last week was that what happened was not assault. The story before that was that she was lying. And you wonder why sexual assault victims have a hard time going public.

How many times over the last two years has @FoxNews said the same thing after anti-Semitic, racist or xenophobic rhetoric on this network? This is another boilerplate response to yet another terrible comment. This is a feature, not a bug. When will advertisers stop sponsoring it? https://t.co/XR2eQ67Ikt

THREAD: Matt here. After I was exposed by @DailyCaller last summer, this was one of many similar threats I got to the lives of my family on the @BreitbartNews comment section powered by @disqus. It was left there by both entities for four days. This cannot and should not happen. https://t.co/80TKD9tgE7

Imagine advertising on a show that calls abortion exceptions for rape a concession to public opinion. How many brands do you know that would support this stance? https://t.co/9P1EyqBRCx

One year ago today, a man who had posted scores of anti-Semitic comments on Gab posted this last one before killing 11 Jews at the #TreeofLife Synagogue. Extremism and radicalization on social networks is still a massive issue despite this horrible tragedy. More must be done. https://t.co/tB5E1WIQeS

@GOP After a synagogue was shot up and 11 people were killed, including four police officers, what exactly are we winning?

This thread is one of the most shocking and awful reads we’ve come across since starting our campaign. The fact that @Facebook is so complicit in the sharing of child abuse images and video is unsurprising and something that needs to be answered for. https://t.co/Aoygf4x21E

@slpng_giants @DailyCaller @BreitbartNews @disqus While @reddit @Twitter get mentioned for their incompetence, @disqus rarely gets mentioned. @disqus powers Breitbart. @AWS hosts Breitbart. These 2 idiots especially deserve equal blame.
