"I would never sell a swastika tee because people could be physically harmed wearing it ... I love my fans and supporters," Kanye wrote on X before his account was disabled.
Shopify took down Yeezy, because it was listing a product he indicated he wasn’t actually going to ship.
B2B services companies generally won’t police content, because content moderation is highly subjective and companies care about the perceived reliability of vendors, especially business critical ones. While this particular instance might be obvious, the slippery slope does exist so companies will tend to avoid vendors who are anywhere near that slope.
