Same reason that apple did not ban Facebook despite repeated workarounds of user privacy measures. Too-big-to-fail.

Likely so.

But then again, Apple banned Verizon’s app (Tumblr) in 2018 when CSAM was discovered on the platform and not removed fast enough.

I love that people are downvoting and reporting me for saying these companies hate women, when they're only acting like they hate women.

I would say "don't shoot the messenger," but no, I take that back. Get mad at me. Get furious at me! Then ask yourself "who ya really mad at," cause I guarantee you it isn't me.
