Neo-Nazi propaganda continues to find a home on Twitter and is adjacent to ads from major companies as advertisers slowly slowly return to Elon Musk’s social media platform, according to a report.
Caraballo reported that no ads appeared on White Lives Matter’s actual profile, “but one of the things I noticed is that they had retweeted portions of ‘Europa: The Last Battle.'” Typing the film’s title into Twitter’s search bar not only pulled up results relating to the movie posted by verified accounts, but included ads from the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and Disney, according to“Sure enough, when I was searching for it, I thought: ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’ There are literal ads appearing right below all of this content,” Caraballo told the outlet.
After Caraballo shared what she found, she told Insider that Twitter appeared to remove the ads from the specific search. However, she altered her search to “last battle Europa” the following day and saw the same results. She also searched antisemitic terms like “Nazi” and “Hitler,” which she told Insider appeared to be stripped of ads through moderation.
