Retail platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay are taking action against merchandise that glorifies Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione emerged as a folk hero and heartthrob in certain corners of the internet after his arrest.
Listings on Etsy, Redbubble, and TikTok Shop referencing Mangione or the shooting have been taken down by Amazon and Etsy for violating offensive and controversial item rules.
eBay prohibits items that glorify or incite violence but does not ban the phrase 'Deny, Defend, Depose.' The platforms are actively removing prohibited items and continuing to monitor the marketplace.
