Block Together App, Shannon Coulter, Advertiser Boycotts
The Block Together app, promoted by activist Shannon Coulter, allows users to en masse block lists of advertisers on Twitter to exert economic pressure. This tool is used by political groups to target companies that support specific content creators or platforms. The effectiveness of these "block lists" is debated, though they represent a significant shift in how users can influence platform monetization.
