For weeks Linda Yaccarino has said brands are returning to Twitter (sorry I won't call it by a stupid letter). She's said that there are "controls" in place that should make brands feel "comfortable" advertising on the site.
But it's all a lie. Huge advertisers like Amazon, USA Today and the New York Times found their brands on a pro-Hitler account.
The account FINALLY got suspended -- after Twitter verified it, allowed it to post hate speech, and monetized it.
