We use it in a highly internationalized product spanning multiple languages and haven’t yet ran into a complaint or value on audit that would constitute something offense in any language per our intl content teams anyway.

That isn’t to say it’s 100% (and simply enough we don’t audit every single URL) but I suspect we would have gotten at least a user heads up by now

Never the less we are moving our approach to uuids that get base32 encoded for some of our use case for this. They’re easier to work for us in many scenarios
