Another major advertiser is pulling its ads from X amid a growing backlash to antisemitic content on the platform. Axios<\/em> reports<\/ins><\/a> that Apple has opted to \u201cpause\u201d all advertising on the platform after its ads were discovered near pro-Nazi posts and X owner Elon Musk appeared to publicly endorse<\/ins><\/a> an antisemitic conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s pullback comes one day after IBM suspended<\/ins><\/a> its ad campaigns on X following a report from watchdog group Media Matters, which found<\/ins><\/a> the company’s ads appearing next to pro-Nazi content on X. Media Matters also highlighted ads from Apple, Comcast and Oracle, which it said also appeared adjacent to pro-Nazi memes and posts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An executive at X previously told Engadget that the posts identified by Media Matters were no longer monetizable and that \u201cthe X system is not intentionally placing a brand actively next to this type of content, nor is a brand actively trying to support this content with placement.\u201d X CEO Linda Yaccarino also said<\/ins><\/a> that \u201cX has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment, but this wouldn\u2019t be the first time the company has raised concerns about the direction of the platform under Musk\u2019s leadership, and its role as a major advertiser. Apple CEO Tim Cook said in September<\/ins><\/a> the company was \u201cconstantly\u201d questioning whether it should continue advertising on X. Apple also briefly paused ads on X (then Twitter) last year<\/ins><\/a>, amid a “misunderstanding” between the two CEOs. Musk and Cook later met at Apple\u2019s headquarters in Cupertino and apparently resolved<\/ins><\/a> the disagreement.<\/p>\n
