This was hilarious but man, is it loathsome that the Internet now censors the words porn and piss simply because China needs to reach every young American with their bullshit malware.
Wait. What does China have to do with this? Is saying porn and piss illegal in china?
TikTok does this censoring
Instagram too, hardly a Chinese problem
I had never seen that prior to TikTok doing it
TikTok may have been the first to do it, but now the genie is out of the bottle
imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.
Annoyingly self reported chinease users I used to talk to would go dark after mention a certain square, tanks, and massacre. Since the push for misinformation instead of censorship its been less common but it also just seems like there are less people from China in my internet social circles now too. :/
