    I’ve seen this a lot recently. I’m guessing a certain social media platform is perpetuating this. Not sure if it’s the platform itself taking action against accounts using these words or if it’s the users themselves collectively deciding to censor these topics.

    Either way it’s stupid to me how language is becoming increasingly taboo. We need to be more open to discussion not less so.

      I watch a news show on YouTube that censored “human trafficking” in an article excerpt. Really stupid to have social media policing news
