We deleted an earlier tweet promoting an upcoming NFT auction. This was a poor choice of imagery for an NFT. It has not and will not be put up for auction.— The Associated Press (@AssociatedPress) February 25, 2022
The @AssociatedPress announced it will release an NFT linked to footage of a raft overcrowded with migrants floating in the Mediterranean. I encourage the AP to reconsider this horrific, extractive, dehumanizing act, cancel this offering, and reconsider its entire NFT program.

The AP’s foray into NFTs
(2 of 2)
AP’s NFT marketplace is a pilot program, and we are immediately reviewing our efforts. As a not-for-profit, AP’s mission is to inform the world with accurate, unbiased journalism. That remains our primary focus.— The Associated Press (@AssociatedPress) February 25, 2022
