Giggle is the only app that is exclusively for women a.k.a. female humans. They had set up a Kickstarter crowdfunder to raise the funds needed to improve and expand the app.
In a highly predictable but no less enraging move, their crowdfunder has suddenly been suspended by Kickstarter. 😠😠😠🤬🤬🤬
Hello,
This is a message from Kickstarter’s Trust and Safety Team. We’re writing to let you know that a project you recently backed, Giggle - The Female App (Suspended), has been suspended. We also want to assure you that your AU$ 10.00 pledge has been canceled. To protect our community, we may suspend projects when they demonstrate one or more of the following:
Inappropriate content, including but not limited to explicit or pornographic material
Hateful or offensive content that fails to meet Kickstarter’s spirit of inclusivity by promoting discrimination, bigotry, or intolerance towards marginalized groups
As a result, all funding has been stopped and backers will not be charged for their pledges. No further action is required on your part.
We take the integrity of the Kickstarter system very seriously. We only suspend projects when we find strong evidence that they are misrepresenting themselves or otherwise violating the letter or spirit of Kickstarter's rules. As a policy, we do not offer comment on project suspensions beyond what is stated in this message.
We know this isn’t ideal. But we do sincerely hope to see you again soon, backing one or more of the amazing projects that do cross the finish line, without a hitch, each and every day.
Here’s to next time,
Kickstarter Trust and Safety
