Can Shopify sell MAGA hats and social justice at the same time?

"We stand with the Black community who are our teachers now. They hold the vision for a more just society and we all need to amplify," Shopify Inc. founder and chief executive Tobias Lutke wrote. "Racism of any kind is one of the bleakest aspects of humanity. Those of us without the vision have to be students and, more importantly, helpers."

For Shopify, which has grown into a global giant while for the most part flying under the radar, Lutke's decision to weigh in on the protests could come with costs, marketing experts say, in the form of greater scrutiny of just who is using its platform and greater pressure to screen that user base going forward.
