Ludicrous Censorship Edition
The Daily Illini asked for my opinion, and I gave it:
Ugly Valentine’s Day breakup at UNC attended by hundreds thanks to Facebook
Now I’m beginning to wonder if UIUC kids are being taught the term “weewee” in anatomy classes.
Update: Since all of blogs.dailyillini.com/opinions/ is now returning a 403 Forbidden error—what happened?—here is a link to a different blog’s post on the same subject:
The Pit Breakup (Tomunist)
My bad. This video is going viral and I felt like I needed to establish some standards for the comment section. But you’re right, censoring it was unnecessary especially since I made a big disclaimer about the language in the video. It’s been fixed. Thanks for commenting.
Carry on.
Thanks, Andrew, because my comment was completely meaningless with the word redacted. Which was why I made my second comment … which seems to have disappeared. (Oddly enough, though, I seem to have a screenshot from earlier today.)
all of blogs.dailyillini.com/opinions is now 403. OPINIONS ARE FORBIDDEN! I remember an early AOL mistake when the New Republic magazine was brought on, and they hurriedly ran a regex through all the next. This caused someone to refer to the Kennedy ******ination, for example.
The all time winner goes to the Boston Globe for their word substitution censorship, which led to a crime report in which the perpetrator fled the seen in a “late-model African-American Buick.”
We’ve got technical work going on. All the other blogs are down for the moment as well. I’m locked out until it’s fixed.
