I don’t think it’s obvious at all, especially when you view it on a mobile. You can also see the words Morrison used to describe the post: “truly repugnant, deeply offensive, utterly outrageous. The Chinese government should be totally asha

Pinterest’s user-base is surely minuscule compared to the amount of users using Google Image Search. I’m not saying that 100% of all users with a Pinterest account use their website/app, but many of them will of course opt to use Pinte
