Shopify Closes Trump's Online Stores, Citing Threats of Violence

Shopify, the company that powers e-commerce sites for more than one million merchants, said that it had closed online stores tied to President Trump, including those run by the Trump Organization and the Trump campaign. A company representative said that the sites violated a policy that prohibits the support of organizations or people “that threaten or condone violence to further a cause.”
