  imo word censoring should be reserved for the most disgusting words like mic*osoft

    That word is especially disgusting because we all know Bill Gates chose it so he could name his company after his penis.

  Anyone seen an explanation for this trend of useless and stupid censoring of words?

    I heard it’s related to TikTok, but I don’t understand that necessarily, especially in a case like this. I’d also like an explanation

      Its because people think “big algorithm” is spying on them so they censor words like that. Not only do they completely miss the big picture , they make it worse for people with accessibility issues too!

      Don’t really understand why it’s on a Facebook type meme though
