    Why is the name censored? This is someone who wanted to post it public with their face attached. Let them. It’s not like it’s a private Facebook group.

      I feel like self-censoring is the fad this part of this decade. Everyone’s afraid for some reason. It’s all blur this, black out that, I’ve even noticed police bodycam footage and news footage bleeping out curses and public information. People are more concerned with their “content” going viral than disseminating the honest information.

        I blame giant corpos training people to self-sensor. Twitter popularized this by hiding replies that contained curse words, so people began to use milder language. Then TikTok did their stupid censorship so people started using alternative words. Now YouTube does the same but they will straight-up delete your comment or deprioritize your videos without notice.

          There’s no logic to the YouTube thing. I’ve noticed news channels that blur out guns when someone pulls one on CCTV even though it’s already only 120p, even though there are other YouTube channels that are literally all about guns and they’re not bothered at all.
