He urged that it should be the company’s decision and that nobody else should force their decisions. He believes that diverse people will have varied opinions, but it should be refrained from spreading negativity.

Ohanian shared his words of wisdom through his social media account on Twitter, drawing attention to the fact that such kind of normalcy could be dangerous at times. He shared, “Years ago, there were a lot of folks mad about de-platforming + banning communities + I insisted that it’s the right of these companies to make business decisions about what content they implicitly endorse by broadcasting. This is kind of normalization is dangerous.
