Censoring shit that doesn't need to be censored (i.e. swear words, and more recently any word like "kill", "died", "murdered", "raped", etc.) is likely the cheapest form of ragebait. You automatically trigger a bunch of engagement through responses of "you're allowed to say X on the internet". Engagement = More views, so throwing asterisks or blurring random words is proliferating.
Huh, interesting and surprisingly logical. I am way out of touch with the current state of tiktok, Facebook and I don't know what.
