Sounds to me like all advertisers should just assume that on Xitter, their ads will show alongside Nazi/Alt-Right/Hateful content. GARM, the project that Elmo just killed, used to inform them when that sort of thing happened. So with the warning system down, Ad companies should revert to a fail-safe state and abandon the platform completely.

And the rest of us should ABSOLUTELY make a habit of blasting out screenshots of ads next to heinous shit, and ask the company why they support that kind of content.

This is the way

Good idea, but stopping using xitter completely would be even better.
