People joke about it but the injection of woke leftist politics into every sphere is how we got here. This culture started years ago though. Look at how Apple censored the gun emoji and replaced it with a squirt gun. The others spinelessly followed with the same change. In the end, these platforms are still run by a small number of humans. When they bring their personal ideology into it, they’re censoring the experience of the masses and that’s not okay.
