I once thought a service like YouTube would bypass the stupid censorship rules of even basic cable TV (which are looser than broadcast TV in the US). Oh how wrong I was.

Tbf, "unalive" is only a thing because of TikTok, unless they're pushing the same content to both platforms, when they have to go with the most restrictive version of their combined rules.

And even then most of the problem is keeping it monetized, not necessarily the platforms during it down directly.

But since videos are a career now, it's a fairly effective ban on certain words.

TikTok is way way waaaay too picky imo. Personally I don't want anything censored at all, for any reason.

Unless someone is going ham on a topic that's triggers you into some PTSD situation, I don't really think there's a good argument for censorship to exist in any form at all.

If some idiot is using language you don't like you just stop listening to them and realize that when you're scrolling through an non-curated source of content, you will hear idiots saying stupid shit.

But the action taken on them shouldn't be an effective gag, it should be just getting ignored. Once blocked and ignored enough, it's basically a shadow ban. It wouldn't be profitable for them to be offensive just for the sake of being offensive, but they shouldn't be getting what basically amounts to fines just because they said someone "died"or got "killed".

That kinda shit is bonkers.
