(I’m a bot) ***** > The World Bank has ceased all paid advertising on Elon Musk's social media platform X, which was formerly Twitter, after a CBS News investigation found promoted advertisements from the organization showing up under a racist post from an account that prolifically posts pro-Nazi and white nationalist content.
> CBS News is not publicly identifying the accounts spreading racist content on X. A promoted advertisement for the World Bank showed up in the comments section below the post.
> A Nordace representative replied to an earlier CBS News query about its ads on Sept. 2, saying the company had halted paid advertising on X "Until we have absolute certainty that such occurrences won't happen again." Nordace said the posts highlighted by CBS News were "Counter to everything we stand for, including our core value of 'respect people.'".
Why in the fuck does the world bank advertise on Twitter to begin with? What would they possibly want with rando eyeballs? This is the strangest thing about this whole situation.
