CEO of Shopify Defends Company’s Right to Host Breitbart
📅 - Shopify is a Canadian SaaS company and the host of Breitbart, a right-wing website causing plenty of controversy. Recently, the CEO of Shopify, Tobias Lutke wrote an open letter to defend the decision to continue providing Breitbart with services for the online store. This was in response to about 10,000 messages asking the company to stop providing services to Breitbart.
The letter stated that if the company were to discontinue services for merchants they didn't like, it would make their lives easier. However, that would also be censorship and would no longer be the free exchange of products.

📅 - Do you Have a Customer Complete Website? - In today's online world, you have to keep your customers on your website or you could lose out to your competition. Giving the right information, entertaining, engaging and sparking a sense of loyalty makes a huge difference. Even with an ecommerce website, you have to provide what your visitors want or they will leave.
