They're completely within their right to make the decision that they've made. What I think is disingenuous is hiding behind some larger "moral code" reasoning.

They're completely within their right to make the decision that they've made. What I think is disingenuous is hiding behind some larger "moral code" reasoning. They're trying to make it seem like they're doing humanity some good by keeping Breitbart when what they're doing is simply conducting business as they have a right to do.
They would have been better off not making a statement than making the one they did.
- trgv 9y agoThe post makes the argument that selling things is speech and that shopify is protecting free speech by not dropping controversial clients. You claim that this argument is disingenuous, ie that the argument is not sincere. It seems sincere to me. I think it's a pretty convincing argument. Free speech doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't buy pen and paper, or engage some web company to host your website, or sell merchandise (so this post argues).
