BUMBLE SWIPES LEFT ON POLITICAL FILTER

The online dating app Bumble said that it had temporarily removed its political filter for users following the Capitol riots after the company saw an increase in people using the app “to spread insurrectionist content.”

The filter was removed on Wednesday due to “a noticeable uptick in people using the politics filter in a manner contrary to our terms and conditions” that occurred after the Capitol riots, a Bumble representative told The Hill.

The company said that people were using the platform “to spread insurrectionist content” and organize and incite violence.
