Seriously - censoring light hearted jokes?!
I feel that's how some people take MY jokes!!!
Or, really, my manner of speaking!
I'm not of this (PC) world, i don't get it, i don't agree with it. But i have noticed a change in our society/culture and how minds are being shaped. Just look at the political nonsense - the mob mentality that's going on there. I think our colleges are cranking this out big time and, by making it nearly mandatory that our kids go to college, they are putting them thru the mind-management mill.
How about this one; https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-surveillance-big-data-score-censorship-a7375221.html
Creepy.
But not at ALL new for China. I'm amazed at the reporter's ignorance of China's history since 1949!
When I see these things happening in OUR society, my first thought is always, "Just like China."
The reporter should read a little. Books like this:
A Mother's Ordeal (about control of fertility & forced abortion)

The White Haired Girl (about a girl who lived thru the Cultural Revolution)
