In recent weeks, the X.com platform (formerly Twitter) has seen many advertisers withdraw from the network.
A few weeks after deciding to abandon all forms of assistance on the X.com network, the giant Apple has made the decision to stop the distribution of advertisements on the platform. Already exasperated by the proliferation of toxic and/or misleading comments that abound on the social network, society has clearly not appreciated Elon Musk’s recent positions. Last September, Tim Cook was already wondering about maintaining advertising on the network.

A few days ago, the American giant IBM decided to withdraw all its advertising from the X.com platform (formerly Twitter). Despite the promise made by Linda Yaccarino concerning the impossibility for brands to be displayed alongside toxic messages, IBM saw its advertisements displayed in discussion threads that were problematic to say the least, against a backdrop of Nazism and other remarks. anti-Semitic.

For many years now, Apple has regularly purchased advertising space on X.com, without forgetting personalized emoji animations for certain events (which modify the animation of the “Like” button on the network). According to various estimates, Apple injects $100 million into advertising each year on the social network.
For its part, the New York Times reported that Disney was also stopping its advertising on X.com, while CNBC indicated a similar decision on the side of Warner Bros, but also Paramount and Comcast/NBC Universal.

Among the companies which have decided to suspend the broadcast of advertisements on X.com, we also find the American group Lionsgate, which is responsible in particular for the production and distribution of films such as Expendables 4, Saw X and John Wick 4. quite a blow for Elon Musk’s finances.
