I don't care what ads appear where but I can understand why companies might not want their brand to be associated with this sort of thing in any way.

Twitter can't simultaneously be a safe space for racists, sexists, paedos, etc. and civil society.

Okay, but what about people on the fringes? People who want to be able to post about sex positivity, risque artwork, and other stuff that exists in civil society but some people would prefer to pretend didn't.
