I think their support of charlie hebdo was different from them getting attacked for it. it's hard to tell if you're blaming them for naming a version in solidarity or getting hacked afterwards.
the version would pop a new window and auto type. that, when i saw it, smelled just like an attack. so i uninstalled and yeah it wasnt an attack but certainly was a stupid effect.
