Apple’s Mac security is so good, it’s sending used M1 MacBooks to the scrap heap

If you don't use quotes you are legitimising the "protests", which is a political view as well (but I guess you wouldn't care about that one)

The comment didn't need to mention it at all, especially considering that it was preceded by "I remember hearing." It didn't add anything to the point about security and it goes against the spirit of the site.

They should have just called them riots, then. "I remember hearing that in certain protests a couple years ago" or "I remember hearing that in certain riots a couple years ago" would both work. The wording as-is is provocative for no actual benefit to the point.

Whether you agree with their position or not, it's not really relevant to this discussion to draw attention to the ethics of those protests/riots.

Using quotes is sarcasm and mockery.

It is not a good look.

It costs nothing to be polite. Even if your political beliefs revere rudeness, leave it at home here.
