    God that’s fucking annoying. The other week I was listening to a podcast that also has episodes on YouTube. They were talking about farming and had to bleep the word ‘rapeseed’. The fuck are we doing guys.

    You used to be able to watch beheadings online, now a farmer can’t even talk about his crops online without the censorship police getting involved…

      Maybe the farmer shouldn’t depend on corporations for their platform then.

        Well sure, but you also used to :D

        No doubt there’s still sites which have it, but it feels like it used to be more common to run into that sort of material, even on places like YouTube.

        I’ve only seen one - journalist Daniel Pearl. It was shown when I studied journalism back in 2002. Part of a cautionary discussion about the dangers of reporting on war and conflics.
