It is fiction, it's meant to make you think. The specific scissor statements would be specific to a given forum/company/etc. in any case.

It says "fiction" right at the top, but one given in the story was:

> A Republican Supreme Court nominee accused of committing sexual assault as a teenager.

It is fiction. You can tell it is fiction because no one cares enough about an advertising company to argue for hours over how code should be implemented. That's why the author never specifies the controversial statement. There's no such statement that could make 5 people do that.
