    I’m sorry, but cum.

    You can swear on the internet. And this isn’t swearing even, it’s just related to sex, you know, something natural

      I’m with you. Censorship is killing my sanity. But here’s the issue.

      We already have content restrictions in place to “protect” under 18s whether they’re mature enough or not to see porn or gore. Physical and digital media have PEGI, BBFC, etc. ISPs have parental control - the UK has Content Lock. We have parents with personal preferences for their offspring’s access.

      National or global censorship is useless. In their insatiable quest for power and money the corporations and governments are trying to turn the internet into a child’s internet. If these are the lengths they’re willing to go to, if their intentions were honest, it would surely be easier to let the adults have the freedom of adults and build a second internet for children. Maybe age lock that. Instead of killing everything consenting adults made.

      This is equivalent to taking a bar, stripping out the slot machine, alcoholic drinks and erotic dancers, adding a ballpit, replacing live sports with cartoons and still checking ID at the door. Except now they want to swap ID for fingerprints.

        There are already multiple search engines only for children. It’s only excuses to seize power over people.

      these days it’s not because people are trying to censor the content from the viewer, but they’re censoring from the algorithms. they want their content to be seen, and algorithms will demote content when it has profanity. probably not the case on lemmy, but this was a screenshot from somewhere

        This is also why you‘ll see/hear the verb „unalive“ and have people refer to „seggs“.

      Some platforms do not allow swears and ocr can easily read text from images. It may feel like a form of censorship but actually enables the original original poster to circumvent censorship.
