Reply to comment by KerchBridgeSmoker in Twitter is running ads next to tweets from Holocaust deniers by CoupleClothing

You honestly don’t understand why, say, Budweiser doesn’t want their name next to someone denying the holocaust? It’s because even though that association doesn’t imply any sort of endorsement for the idea, the advertisers find it unsavory to be placed next to something so profoundly objectionable. I hope this clears it up for you.

I get why they care, I just think it's silly. Everyone knows that wouldn't be an endorsement of holocaust denial.

I'm sure there are a lot of things they wouldn't want their ads next to, that are allowed. Weird porn. Graphic news stories.

I don't want to seem like I'm okay with holocaust denial. I think Twitter should just delete that sort of thing off the app. I, personally, wouldn't judge Budweiser for unfortunate placement of a tweet though. I know that the unsavory content is a result of a lack of action by Twitter, and has nothing to do with budweiser.

Remember when Trump said the Proud Boys to "stand back and standby"? The Proud Boys and other groups like them thought that he was ordering them to stand by for action.

I happen to agree with you but you’re probably a more reasonable person than most.
