The creator of a “FUCK the LAPD” shirt sold out not only his entire stock of that shirt but also sold out many of his other designs after the Los Angeles Police Department Foundation made an intellectual property threat against them that claimed they owned the letters ‘LAPD.’

Regarding your last point: With the various engagement-increasing algorithms driving what information you actually see, it can be a challenge to see outside your own bubble. It takes active effort to not just see your own perspective reflected back at you and that’s by design.
A lot of people won’t engage with content they disagree with and engagement drives ad revenue so it behooves companies that only care about revenue to not challenge a user’s beliefs unless it’s something extreme enough for the user to engage out of rage and disgust (which is how chuds like Andrew Tate get promoted). It’s hard to see the otherside’s genuine viewpoint when it’s constantly filtered through the lens of your own side (or what the algorithm thinks your side is).
For Level Two applications that don’t meet the criteria for an award, a refund is issued for the licensing portion of the application fee less any applied discounts. An award is not guaranteed. Marketing and publicty benefits are only extended to applicants who meet the criteria for the award.
Apparently they’ll only feature you if you’re eligible for an award and refund you the enhanced part of the application if you’re product is ineligible. They do have the criteria for eligibility further down the page and it seems pretty open to interpretation.
