The far-right outlet uses the Canadian e-commerce company’s technology for its merchandise sales, and Shop Pay for payments, according to data from Builtwith. On Tuesday, a Shopify spokesperson told The Logic the company does not comment on specific merchants, but pointed to its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which prohibits hateful content including on the basis of race, ethnicity and color. (The Logic)

Talking point: On Monday, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke announced the company was donating $1 million to civil rights, Black health and police violence-prevention groups. “Racism of any kind is one of the bleakest aspects of humanity,” he wrote in a message to staff on Friday. In November 2018, the company removed the Proud Boys, which the Southern Poverty Law Center designates a hate group, citing updates to the AUP. Sleeping Giants—an activist group that advocates for advertisers and tech platforms to stop supporting hate-spreading outlets—has repeatedly called for Shopify to drop Breitbart. The company did not directly address The Logic‘s questions about whether it is reviewing if any of its clients promote racism. “We understand that the problem of racism will not be solved by one action, but we believe that our actions yesterday along with continuing to have conversations with communities who are directly affected by racism, is a good step forward,” the spokesperson said.
