That's because they want to make money, good luck attracting investors when your tool lists benefits of Nazi ideology or generates minor porn novels.
- davidguetta 4y agoI think it's still crazy that in 2022 the fact that some stupid people can be offended by that have that much importance.
- sekai 4y agoeh, it's all PR, no one really wants to be associated with that, one of the reasons why Apple forced Tumblr to remove porn which in turn decimated Tumblr's user base.
- redox99 4y agoThat makes very little sense. Is absolutely anyone going to decide against buying an Apple device, because Tumblr is on the App Store?
- trifurcate 4y agoI absolutely can believe that some households are going to buy Apple devices because they can be relatively sure that their kids won't find porn on the App Store.
- cmeacham98 4y agoIs it possible, maybe, that it's not "some stupid people" with "much importance" - but actually the average person doesn't want technology to vocally support neo-nazis? To be honest I don't really care either way (at least in this case), but I see people making this argument always act like it's a few elites ruining the world and it's impossible that the average person doesn't 100% agree with them.
- nightski 4y agoWhy does it always jump straight to white supremacy and Neo-Nazism? There's a lot of area in there that is being ignored and/or casually dismissed. It's not an honest discussion.

- lynx23 4y agoMaybe the people involved are not old enough to ever have heard about Godwin's law? Its now 25 years ago that UseNet users have discovered this. I guess HN still needs a few years to get there.
- cmeacham98 4y agoUnfortunately, it seems commenters like "lynx23" haven't yet reached the age of reading the entire comment chain before writing a comment. Maybe then they'd realize the Nazi example was actually brought up by the comment two posts above me and I was just rolling with it as that's the current example in the discussion. I guess they still need a few years to get there.
- lynx23 4y agoI am sorry that you feel I attacked you directly. That was not my intention, nor did I word my reply such that this would be implied. I was refering to a group of people, and you decided to put yourself in that group and feel attacked. Notice that I refered to a group, while you choose to vent your feelings by naming a person specifically, resorting to personal attack. Maybe my age-reference wasn't that much of?

- lynx23 4y agoWell, you know, this situation will not change as long as most current religions are not banned. Its a weird world. One side argues for for 100% scientifically driven decisions, and the other wisde still believes in the boggy man.
