Sorry, not removing them. Only where they violate our guidelines will
I remove mine. The SVG files are fine. The problem is in the browser.
I wouldn't have uploaded if they were broken.

Yep, I will do it little by little...

investigating styles like Banksy

Yes, you are right. Removing it. Although, there is a case that one
might not have to remove that image under fair use laws, but I won't
