Civil rights organizations are calling on advertisers to boycott Twitter in response to Elon Musk's weekend decision to reinstate former President Donald Trump's account on the social media site.
Banned from Twitter in 2021 because of concerns he could incite further violence following the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, Trump was reinstated on the platform on Saturday based on the results of a Twitter poll posted by Musk.
Now, groups including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Anti-Defamation League say Twitter's billionaire owner is breaking his previous commitment to create a "content moderation council" before reinstating controversial accounts.
"In Elon Musk's Twittersphere, you can incite an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, which led to the deaths of multiple people, and still be allowed to spew hate speech and violent conspiracies on his platform," NAACP President Derrick Johnson said Saturday in a statement. "Any advertiser still funding Twitter should immediately pause all advertising."
"Unless and until Musk can be trusted to enforce Twitter's prior community standards, the platform is not safe for users or advertisers," the #StopToxicTwitter coalition, which includes Accountable Tech, Free Press and Media Matters for America, said in a statement. "For those still advertising on Twitter right now: know that you are contributing directly to an erratic billionaire's decimation of Twitter and its rapid devolution into utter chaos."

Has Trump even posted on Twatter yet?
If Trump can maintain the discipline to speak on the issues, and refrain from personal Twitter wars, he’ll win in 2024.
Yup. NAACP is racist expression. The NAACP members haven’t figured out what the acronym stands for.
Since most commercials and ads in this country only show black people, the NAACP calling for less ads seems to be working against the people that the organization is supposed to be working for. Does anybody ever learn how to connect dots anymore?
You’re still awake? I can’t hold my eyes open on account of this exciting newZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
