.@accountabletech outlines how Musk is bad for advertisers, investors, and platform users in a new Staff Post. #StopToxicTwitter https://accountabletech.org/staff-post/twitter-in-turmoil/

Elon Musk has made Twitter more hateful, more tolerant of bigotry and lies. Advertisers have a responsibility to stand up against Musk rewarding hate & lies with visibility. Join the ad movement to #StopToxicTwitter.

As Elon Musk addresses advertisers in Miami, organizers are reminding them of the toxic hellscape he's created on Twitter.
This is key grassroots organizing everyone here should help boost.

Hate and lies have real-life consequences, and advertisers need to know what they are potentially buying back into.

And I love all these 👇

@elonmusk Musk has welcomed back to @Twitter neo-Nazis, COVID misinfo superspreaders, & accounts promoting hate. More than half of Twitter’s top 1,000 advertisers have realized the platform is an unsafe place for their ads. #StopToxicTwitter #POSSIBLE23 https://www.stoptoxictwitter.com/

Love stunts like these at key advertising events...

@hankg If these numbers are true, then I think two things:

One it is crucial that the advertisers rejection of Twitter holds strong. See #StopToxicTwitter ...

Two: Who knows how real the "expects to make $3 billion" is?...it may assume Twitterblue subscriptions take off, versus now where they have barely sputtered.

Or it might assume advertisers return, which is not at all clear...

Brands like @Apple can expect to see their ads appear next to tweets from self-professed neo-Nazis, conspiracy theorists, and misogynists, new research by @CCDHate reveals.

Apple, remove your ads and help #StopToxicTwitter. https://counterhate.com/research/toxic-twitter/?utm_source=tw-intent&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=toxic-twitter&utm_content=intent

As part of the #StopToxicTwitter coalition, we're urging major advertisers to pull their advertising to stop funding hate & lies. Here’s just one example of a brand like @apple featured next to horrible disinformation content.

The @NFL and @apple are bankrolling hate and lies on Twitter and their ads are running next to tweets from conspiracy theorists, neo-Nazis and misogynists. Tell them to #StopToxicTwitter and pull their ads from the site NOW.

@laimis @taylorlorenz @accountabletech

Ok, I will stop now. You get the idea.

Like I said, I am bad at photoshop. #StopToxicTwitter #Twitter #politics

I don't know what to say about the fact that of all the members of the coalition #StopToxicTwitter , that in November influenced #Twitter advertises to flee, @accountabletech seems to be the only one who has a presence here, everybody else is happy to display their #Twitter links.

Media Matters, Free Press, Color of Change, Anti-Defamation League were often cited as leading the coalition, but none of them seems to be here. #politics #socialmedia

Anyone else?

The Information's @ErinKWoo reports, "more than 500 of Twitter’s top advertisers have paused spending since @ElonMusk took over."

The #StopToxicTwitter campaign has urged many of them to continue their pause until Musk commits to more robust moderation.

We called on Twitter's top advertisers to stop running ads until Elon Musk commits to uphold user safety.

Last night, Musk laid off 40 engineers working in advertising, another sign that our pressure to #StopToxicTwitter is working.https://www.theinformation.com/articles/musk-lays-off-twitter-engineers-working-on-advertising-as-ad-revenue-shrinks

@JenOa I was on @TheBradBlog talking about how to #StopToxicTwitter https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bradcast-12-28-2022-encore-media-activist-spocko-on/id803467610?i=1000591522781

"Okay. Spocko. So what, if anything can or should be done now? ... #ElonMusk can largely do with it as he sees fit."

Just because he owns #Twitter doesn't mean he can do what he wants!
Too many people, corporations, & Government agencies have given him time to cause harm. NOT ME.
There need to be actions to stop the harm he's causing to people like #LGBTQ folks.

#StopToxicTwitter How? @TheBradBlog asked me on his podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bradcast-12-28-2022-encore-media-activist-spocko-on/id803467610?i=1000591522781

"Okay. Spocko. So what, if anything can or should be done now? And I will underscored that this is a private company, after all, #ElonMusk can largely do with it as he sees fit."

Just because he owns #Twitter doesn't mean he can do what he wants!
Too many people give him time to cause harm. NOT ME.
I discuss how to stop the harm he's causing to people like #LGBTQ folks.
