Shopify deactivated Kanye West's website after it sold T-shirts emblazoned with swastikas, stating the merchant violated their terms of service. The website was powered by Shopify and promoted during a local Super Bowl ad. The decision came after widespread outrage and criticism from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League.
The website that was selling Kanye West ’s T-shirts embossed with swastikas has been deactivated by Shopify Tuesday. A Shopify spokesperson said in a comment to CNN that the “merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them.” Shopify is the back-end platform that powered the T-shirt store on the Yeezy website. The site no longer loads as of Tuesday morning.
“The swastika is the symbol adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis. It galvanized his followers in the 20th century and continues to threaten and instill fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy,” the ADL said in a statement posted on X. “There’s no excuse for this kind of behavior.” For the past few days, West has spewed virulently antisemitic, homophobic and misogynistic hate speech via his X account to his more than 32 million followers.
