Shopify says they only closed Kanye West's store because they thought he might not actually ship the Nazi t-shirts, not because they were Nazi t-shirts (www.jwz.org)

Why the fuck would you even say that out loud

Overton window has shifted so far right that it flew straight out of the building into the pasture next door.

They didn't shift it .... they threw it out the building

To make it clear that their only loyalty is to money. They would sell "murder your mom knives" if it helped their stock price and murderers were buying them.

So if I started a shopify store, sold Nazi t-shirts and guaranteed that every order would be fulfilled .... that would be OK?

Yes. 3 years ago, the fbi would have started a file for you, but I don’t think the modern, gutted fbi would care all that much.

100% positive the modern FBI has a file on absolutely everyone. Technology makes this easy now. Everyone is on various lists. It's the combination that gets you.

Shopify changes name to Nazify. Their lames excuses get a boycott from me.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

in other words, it's about money. shopify would be on the hook as the payment processor.

In the internal announcement, Hertz gave more detail than the company has shared publicly. She said West’s Nazi T-shirt was “vile, disgusting, and inexcusable” and that “everyone agrees with that.” But that didn’t affect Shopify’s decision to delete West’s online store, Hertz added. “Opinion doesn’t factor in here,” she said. “What matters is our terms of service.”

Wouldn't want to alienate any potential clientele, right? Fuckin' animals.

Reminder that Shopify also lets Chaya Raichik/LoTT to break terms of service.

[-] voracitude@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Well. Fuck those guys, I'm never using them for anything ever again.

That was something they probably should have kept to themselves lmao

How can the people in charge of corporations be so fucking stupid
