Shopify knocked down Kanye’s swastik t -shirt store, but another anti -Semitic store still works

Shopify knocked down the Kanye West online store after the musician sold t -shirts with the swastika symbol.

West, who also passes through Ye, announced his online store in a Super Bowl commercial on Sunday, directing the spectators to their website, where the only article listed was the Swastika shirt.

Although Shopify eliminated a policy that prohibits sellers to house “Odious content“Last year, the electronic commerce giant removed Ye Tuesday, days after the Super Bowl announcement appeared. According to the reports, Shopify closed the store due to the fraud potential, and not because I was selling a shirt Nazi, according to An internal memorandum seen by logic, a Canadian technological publication.

“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not participate in authentic trade practices and violated our terms, so we eliminated them from Shopify, ”the company told TechCrunch in a statement.

In last week, they made Several anti -Semitic publications In X, with pride proclamation who is a Nazi and does not “like or trust any Jewish.” Praised Adolf Hitler, so wrote“I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent” before his account was eliminated.

Techcrunch asked X if he himself eliminated the account or if the platform eliminated it; X did not comment.

However, X has established the precedent that Holocaust’s denial, Hitler’s praise and support for Nazis are allowed on the platform. Techcrunch found an example of an X creator with 200,000 followers who use Shopify to sell products glorifying Auschwitz’s extermination fields and defending the denialism of the holocaust.

While Shopify eliminated the mercantile of Ye’s swastika, the other anti -Semitic store remains on the platform; Shopify did not return the request for comments from TechCrunch on why this store has been allowed to remain.
