Shopify, the Canadian multinational e-commerce company, based in Ontario, also responded to the carnage that happened at the US Capitol on Jan. 7. Like Facebook, it is one of the tech companies that immediately took action against Donald Trump, who is believed to have incited the riot that led to the death of a woman and injuring several others more.
Shopify explains move to withdraw Trump’s stores
The Wall Street Journal reported that Shopify pulled out the stores affiliated with the US president because he violated the company’s policy against promoting violence. Thus, after the chaotic incident that could have caused more damage if it was not restrained by the police and guards, it has acted swiftly and removed the leader’s presence on the e-commerce site.
In another news outlet, Shopify’s representative’s official statements were published. The rep further explained the reason for their response to the president’s actions.
“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,” The New York Times quoted the rep as saying. “As a result, we have terminated stores affiliated with President Trump.”
Apparently, Shopify finds Donald Trump’s moves as conflicting with the firm’s policy. Moreover, what happened was tragic, and it could have been prevented if the president did not encourage his supporters to do what they did.
The Trump stores affected in the issue
In any case, Shopify is home to some of Donald Trump’s online stores. These shops are mostly selling Trump’s campaign paraphernalia and other items from his personal brand, which is the TrumpStore. It has merchandise like the “Make America Great Again” hats and the outgoing president’s posters that are selling from $20 and up.
It was mentioned that while TrumpStore has been removed from Shopify, some of Donald Trump’s online stores, such as OfficialTrump2020store.com and Trump-Hats.com, are still active. Meanwhile, Facebook and Instagram reportedly banned Donald Trump permanently, while Twitter already activated his account again after the 12-hour ban that was issued yesterday.
