I mean you can find porn on Google and you don't have to look that hard

Thank you for actually spelling porn. This whole thing around altering spelling to avoid blocking which I presume comes out of other apps has gotten to be quite annoying.

"Pr0n" is classic internet slang that predates onerous censorship let alone "apps".

Right, the form to deal with onerous censorship is “corn”.

I can’t believe we have grown ass adults posting “seggs” on social media and bleeping it out in audio.

People shape themselves so much around algorithms.

It's a little depressing to think about how much better modern LLMs are at preventing "harmful" content than past systems.

What the fork?

Was totally unaware thanks!

It absolutely came from censorship. IRC chat rooms and PHPBB message boards with blacklists of words that would get starred out. Hoping it wasn't implemented with substring match so typing "shell" didn't come out "s****".
