Canadian e-commerce platform Shopify is defending the right of its clients to sell antisemitic, Holocaust-denying merchandise on its platform.
As Bloomberg reports, a store identified by the Anti-Defamation League is selling anti-Jewish propaganda, including parodies of the likeness of Anne Frank. Naturally, the store is marketing the problematic wares on Elon Musk's X-formerly-Twitter, a place that has become the de facto online forum for hate speech and disinformation.
The seller fired back, arguing in an email to Bloomberg that "Free speech is our inalienable right and extends to what we wear."
But Shopify maintained an icy silence in response to multiple requests for comment. In other words, the company seems glad to take a cut from sales of fascist propaganda.
