Yeezy.com disappears from the internet after Shopify says Kanye West violated its terms

The website that was selling Kanye West’s T-shirts embossed with swastikas has been deactivated by Shopify Tuesday.
The website that was selling Kanye West’s T-shirts embossed with swastikas has been deactivated by Shopify Tuesday. A Shopify spokesperson said in a comment to CNN that the “merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them.” Shopify is the back-end platform that powered the T-shirt store on the Yeezy website. The site no longer loads as of Tuesday morning. “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform,” the Shopify spokesperson added. West’s website received fresh promotion Sunday evening when he bought a local TV ad during the Super Bowl, appearing to show him sitting at the dentist’s office while recording a 30-second spot on an iPhone to push people to his Yeezy website. Although it aired during the Super Bowl, it wasn’t a national ad on Fox and only viewers in a few markets saw it, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Fox, which did not respond to CNN’s request for comment, doesn’t have control over all the commercials that air on its affiliates. Shopify allowed the website to remain online and sell the antisemitic T-shirts for more than 24 hours. That ignited outrage on social media and from the Anti-Defamation League.
