Shopify Reinstates Ban on Hateful Content Amid Racist Merchandise Sales

Shopify has reinstated a ban on "hateful content" for merchants using its Shop sales channel, after previously removing the ban last July. The company updated its help page to add a prohibition on products promoting violence, gore, profanity, or offensive content. The move comes after Bloomberg reported on racist merchandise being sold on Shopify in November. Shopify did not comment on the change in policy.
