** Ben & Jerry’s Suspends Paid Twitter Ads over ‘Hate Speech’
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

The Wrap reports ([link removed]) that leftist ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s ([link removed]) has announced a ban on all paid advertising on Elon Musk’s Twitter over growing concerns about online “hate speech.”

In a statement, the company said, “Musk and Twitter’s toxicity and tacit endorsement of hate and violence goes against everything our company stands for. Twitter must act today to end the extremist and violent content on the platform. Until that happens, Ben & Jerry’s will spend no money with Twitter and we call on all businesses and partners to do the same.”

“Hate speech is up dramatically while content moderation has become all but non-existent,” the company added. “In addition to the changes on the platform that have led to an increase in hate speech, Musk himself has doubled down on dangerous anti-democratic lies and white nationalist hate speech.”

Following that, Ben & Jerry’s described Twitter as a “threatening and even dangerous” space for a number of groups, including women, Jews and Muslims. The business urged Twitter to take action right away against violent and extremist content and urged other companies to take a similar stance.

Fact check: what this is really about is that the radicals at Ben & Jerry’s resent the fact that, under Musk, Twitter ceased censoring conservatives on the platform.

On December 10, 2020, B&J announced ([link removed]) that it was partnering with former National Football League quarterback and Black Lives Matter ([link removed]) activist Colin Kaepernick ([link removed]) to bring consumers a non-dairy, vegan-flavored flavored ice cream called “Change the Whirled.” Said the company in a statement: “We are so inspired by Colin Kaepernick’s bold activism for racial justice that we did what we do best: We whipped up a euphoric flavor to honor his work.”

In early February 2021 in Tampa Bay, the city which was hosting that year’s Super Bowl, B&J erected ([link removed]) a 30-foot-by-90-foot billboard with a mural honoring Kaepernick. The sign depicted Kaepernick with a raised fist, along with images of his “Change the Whirled” ice cream, an “I Know My Rights” sign from his “Know Your Rights Camp,” and children wearing Kaepernick t-shirts. “As we look back, it’s clear that Colin was on the right side of history,” said Chris Miller, the head of B&J’s global activism department. “His pre-game protests were before George Floyd’s murder, before the 2020 summer of racial reckoning. He knew a long time ago that we need to address the root causes of racism and the structures of our society that are so brutal to Black people. We wanted to be part of the effort to honor Colin’s courage and legacy because we share the same values.”
