MASHABLE - Bumble has apologised for its poorly received ads referencing celibacy, calling them a "mistake." The marketing campaign is being slammed across social media, with users accusing the dating app of undermining women's choices and shaming them for refraining from sex. In a statement posted to Bumble's official Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts, the company acknowledged its misstep and announced that it would be removing its heavily criticised anti-celibacy ads from its global marketing campaign.
