So, Zello was willing to look the other way when they were told their app was being used by racists and violence prone conspiracists to plan and execute anti-American operations (as per WNYU’s “On the Media” reporters) and Bumble cracks down on users trying to help law enforcement identify seditionists. Got it.

Or…Bumble just doesn’t want users to leave, even if they’re Nazis. Since the Nazis are outnumbered, a boycott by users who aren’t Nazis might get them to reconsider if their amoral brains have any common sense.
