The dating app Bumble has temporarily removed its political-identification filter to prevent "misuse."

The move came after women tweeted about using the filter to find conservatives who took part in the Capitol breach and passing on evidence to law enforcement.

Users started to notice the political filter had been removed on Thursday, and people on Twitter criticized Bumble as appearing to protect the insurrectionists.

Bumble added that it removed the accounts of people who had been "confirmed as participants in the attack of the US Capitol."

All I know about Bumble is that they use pretty ladies with wonderfully low cut tops to advertise it on youtube, I always watch the ads even though I never intend to use it.
