yes, but both of these examples look like assholes

your user base consists entirely of people who are willing to migrate from social media websites that turn on them

There's something deeply upsetting about this software being a simulacrum of a woman. It stinks of misogyny.
And, in a world where a living human with dreams and free will can say "I am a woman," and be hated for it, it becomes extra fucky that we so casually call this NES sprite "she."

Tim apple is an asshole.

Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information:
