The accounts remained active on X Thursday afternoon, hours after the report was published.
No brands had specifically targeted the pro-Nazi accounts identified in Thursday’s report for their advertisements, nor did the company intentionally place their ads there, the spokesperson said.
Full stop.”IBM is not the first company to part ways with X after its ad appeared next to hateful content.
Musk’s X has also come under fire for reinstating the accounts of users who were previously banned on the social media platform, including far-right and neo-Nazi figures.
