Ah the chaotic period where you could just pay to get a blue checkmark and brands couldn't do anything else.

We will begin halting all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States until further investigation into the record of their human rights abuses. #WeAreLM

No. It was tweeted by a parody account and this screenshot has been altered to make it appear that the official Nintendo account did it.
