Insider

Insider Inc. (formerly Business Insider Inc.) is a global digital media company renowned for its business news and lifestyle content. The company offers reporting and analysis on finance, technology, politics, and culture. As a subsidiary of Axel Springer, Insider Inc. adheres to the Axel Springer pledge, which makes Insider Inc. and all its subsidiaries and brands a target for boycotts.

Axel Springer

As part of the Axel Springer portfolio and a subsidiary, Insider and all its brands must adhere to the Axel Springer Pledge. This pledge enforces mandatory "values" for the company and all its employees, including supporting Israel, endorsing capitalism and free markets, and strengthening ties with the United States.

Axel Springer and its CEO are known for directly supporting Zionism, and they do not tolerate any employee who rejects their pledge or Zionist ideals. There have been instances where employees in their news-tech sector were pressured to control narratives about Palestine.

Axel Springer’s news agencies, such as WELT and Bild, have unapologetically used their platforms to spread anti-migrant and Islamophobic rhetoric. As a result, Axel Springer and all its subsidiaries are targets for boycotts.
