The maker of Oreo cookies, Mondelez International, has pulled its ads off Twitter citing Tesla Inc founder's Elon Musk acquisition as the cause. "What we’ve seen recently since the change on Twitter has been announced, is the amount of hate speech increase significantly," Mondelez International Inc CEO Dirk Van de Put tells Reuters. "We felt there is a risk our advertising would appear next to the wrong messages. As a consequence, we have decided to take a pause and a break until that risk is as low as possible."
