      Mondelēz International

      This company is also on the list still of companies still doing business in Russia after the invasion.

      Their corporate message about this is a total joke.

      There are no easy decisions, but, like most other global food and beverage companies, we are continuing to provide food during these challenging times, focusing our operations in Russia on affordable, shelf-stable products that are daily staples for ordinary people.

      Mondelēz, you’re such humanitarians continuing to profit in a country who is killing and kidnapping children in their neighboring country of Ukraine.

          Child seperation didn’t stop Coke or Nestlé from advertising in the US

          I’m confused by your statement. Coke was one of the first companies (along with McDonalds) to leave Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

          Also, as always, Nestle sucks.

    I wouldn’t celebrate, Musk is trying to turn the platform into alt-right Weibo and losing most of their advertisers is part of the plan

      Weibo without advertisers?

      Imgur

      Pretty sure that those things I’ve highlighted in red are ads or other forms of content forced on me without consent…

        I said “most”, they think there will be brands that don’t mind the fascism

        Hopefully that’s where the plan fails
