A boycott against Etsy has emerged due to the platform allowing merchandise related to the controversial 'Alligator Alcatraz' ICE detention center. This merchandise includes various items and has sparked anger among users who feel Etsy is violating its Discrimination and Hateful Content Policy, which protects immigration status. The boycott has gained traction on social media, particularly on platforms like Threads and Reddit. Users argue that the merchandise violates the platform's policy against content that includes violent or degrading commentary towards protected classes, leading to increased organization and support for the boycott.
Etsy users have taken particular issue with the company's decision to allow merchandise celebrating the controversial ICE detention center in Florida, where detainees face horrible conditions.
Boycotters believe that Etsy is in violation of its Discrimination and Hateful Content Policy, which lists immigration status as a protected class against discriminatory behavior.
The Etsy boycott has been loosely organized on social media, where thousands of posts and comments have emerged, showing widespread discontent among users.
Etsy's policy prohibits not only hate speech but also content containing violent or degrading commentary against protected classes, which boycott supporters argue includes the disputed merchandise.
