Facebook isn’t the only big tech company taking action against Donald Trump’s web presence in the wake of yesterday’s riots in Washington, D.C.
Shopify, which hosted shops related to Trump’s campaign paraphernalia and the outgoing President’s personal brand, TrumpStore, has apparently taken down both of those properties.
“Shopify does not tolerate actions that incite violence. Based on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause,” a Shopify spokesperson wrote in a statement to TechCrunch. “As a result, we have terminated stores affiliated with President Trump.”
News of the move was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
It’s a reversal of policy for the company, which had previously defended the rights of any customer to use the platform and a refusal to engage in what chief executive Tobias Lütke termed censorship.
Welcome to Communism folks..for those who said I was exaggerating, wake up..we dont live in America anymore
What the hell is Shopify? Is it a sister company to Spotify?
Not having watched msm i have no idea what they are talking about. What is the fake news narrative? How did Trump incite violence?
Oh, quickly write your representative, primary them, play by the rules. Fools...
I’d like to boycott them, but I’ve never used them....and never will going forward.

If this were truly the case, then these companies would not sell merchandise from any “Woke” company. Pure BS.
Communism is here.
Are they selling antifa stuff?
Trump merchandise will be rare and expensive in a few years (if not contraband).
Nah..... just go back to sleep.
Nothing to see here, now move along.
Shopify is used for transactional backends on a lot of private websites. You’ve likely used them and will likely use them again. Trying to boycott them is tantamount to trying to not use Google.
it's been here but they just made it official.
No matter what they do, there are at least 80 million Americans who have President Trump's back.
I’ve never used it and never will.
Trumpvictory.com still works for me
Never heard of it.
Yep, they’ll just remove anything they don’t like. And that includes US.
Wouldn’t surprise me if some pinko goon has been out there compiling a list of Freepers.
