Two brands suspend advertising on X after their ads appeared next to pro-Nazi content

At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

The nonprofit news watchdog Media Matters for America documented in a report published Wednesday that ads for a host of mainstream brands have been run on the account, which has shared content celebrating Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Ads for brands including Adobe, Gilead Sciences, the University of Maryland’s football team, New York University Langone Hospital and NCTA-The Internet and Television Association were run alongside tweets from the account that had garnered hundreds of thousands of views, CNN observed.

X has ditched a political misinformation reporting feature, researchers say​

X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, has scrapped a feature that lets users self-report political misinformation on the platform, a research group says, marking the latest safety-focused guardrail that X has rolled back since billionaire Elon Musk took the helm.

The move was first spotted by an Australia-based digital policy think tank, Reset Australia. The group of researchers sent an open letter to X warning of the potential harms this can cause as it came just weeks ahead of a major referendum vote on whether to change the Australian constitution to establish an Indigenous advisory group with a direct line to government.

“There now appears to be no channel to report electoral misinformation when discovered on your platform,” the letter from Reset Australia states. “It is extremely concerning that Australians would lose the ability to report serious misinformation weeks away from a major referendum.”

About 10 years ago my former employer had us all make accounts to scream "Look at us! Look at us!! I created an account but never used it.

When Musk took over I started to look at Twitter but I soon concluded that it's just a cesspool and don't go there anymore.
 
Of course, what does "use the service" mean? Reading a tweet embedded on a website, going to Twitter, looking at your feed?

What is incredible is that this is another solution to the Bot problem. Mr. Programming Genius... create a fee, that'll stop bots.

Linda Yaccarino is next week planning to meet the seven banks that helped bankroll Elon Musk’s takeover of X, formerly known as Twitter, to lay out her plans to revive the struggling social media company, said people briefed on the matter.

Yaccarino, who took over as chief executive in June, is set to meet bankers at Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, BNP Paribas, Mizuho and Société Générale on October 5.

The long-awaited meeting is a high-stakes opportunity for Yaccarino to convince X’s lenders that she has a plan to revive the social network by boosting the advertising revenue or even by moving into areas such as subscriptions and payments, the people said.
