The Surprising Controversy That May Have Silenced Ben & Jerry's Twitter Account

Ben & Jerry's Twitter account has gone silent since May 18th, 2021 (via Boston Globe). The well-known ice cream brand has typically been known as an outspoken, loud, and clear advocate of social issues at the heart of many liberal paradigms. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began making hippie ice cream in 1978 and have since used their voice to raise awareness and activism on issues including climate change, systemic racism, LGBTQ rights, voting rights, and the refugee crisis (via The Takeout).
