Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

Gives them airtime. I wouldn't have heard of them if not for this.

You’ve never heard of Gilead? They’re a massive biopharma company…
