Etsy has pulled merchandise related to radical conspiracy group QAnon from its platform. Insiderreported the news today. An Etsy spokesperson told the publication that seller policies prohibit items “that promote hate, incite violence, or promote or endorse harmful misinformation. In accordance with these policies, we are removing items related to ‘QAnon’ from our marketplace.”
As of publishing, searching QAnon or its corresponding acronym WWG1WGA (“where we go one we go all”) on Etsy still brings up links to some merchandise promoting Donald Trump — who the conspiracy falsely claims is fighting against a group of left-wing pedophiles — as well as merch bearing QAnon slogans and more.
