Why has Apple stopped, do you think?

  Perhaps it's bad for the brand to be shown interleaved with Nazis?

  Let's see. 1) Big corporations are not really ethical unless it benefits them or they fear negative repercussions; 2) Ceasing an action doesn't produce a positive outcome but can avoid a negative one; 3) Anything that is outside of the focus of mainstream media is essentially ignored by the general public. 1 + 2 + 3 -> Apple is afraid that the media could launch a campaign against them for not having ceased advertising on Twitter.

    Doesn't your explanation presuppose that media aren't (owned by) big corporations? Let me try another explanation: Apple thinks Twitter might fall over, and is reducing its advertising to what it's already paid for, so that if Twitter blows up, Apple's financial loss is minimised.
