Coke have also announced that they are following the same path. Social media companies have had it too easy in the past and have allowed all sorts of shit to be posted on their platforms.
Money talks and it looks like pressure on these industrial giants is starting to pay off. Racists, nazis, and hate mongers have no place in a civilised society . Let them set up their own platforms and preach to the subhman slime that constitutes their support. Keep them out of our lives.
Thank you for posting this. I would never have known about this flaky massive conglomerates actions without you providing this information I searched for which brands they make and

My household may not represent a great deal, but if other citizens do the same, these companies will learn to stop politicizing their own investments and giving into the "woke" mob. I think it's due time for a counter-protest to big corporations telling the world that companies MUST silence them, even as some of these companies give money to groups who want to destroy America and capitalism
