Is there a particular reason they censored the word Hitler?

Did they not want to anger modern day fascists that run whatever website that was originally posted on?

Hitler isn't a word that should ever be censored, what he did and who he was should never be watered down or brushed under the rug.

TikTok censors stuff like this. So people self-censor, and it bleeds over onto other platforms.

Just another wonderful thing from TikTok...

[–] Moc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That platform is fucked so glad I don’t use it

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I wish I could say no one I know uses it, but sadly everyone I know seems to.

See also: CP, unalived, SA'ed, etc

CP has been around as a term a lot longer than tiktok has existed, which makes sense because who wants to say "child porn"

[–] CoolMatt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does that mean Tik Tok deletes the post if it detects a nono word?

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Probably not, but it stops showing it that much.

More likely just trying not to get cancelled by reactionaries for some dumb shit so they just censor anything that might make anyone uncomfy.

There are neo libs who censor anything that could be slightly offense on certain platforms.. Hitler included.
