    I assume getting around TikTok and Meta algorithms that would automatically filter this image from public view.

    Gotta make it safe and corpo friendly for the advertisers! 🙄

      It probably just gets tagged as “spicy meme someone tried to censor”, and still gets tracked and targeted the same way as the rest of the content. They know fully well what kind of post it is, a line is not going to break the algorithm

        It has nothing to do with what children see, the reasoning is that advertisers don’t want their products to be associated with violence by showing their ad next to a post about violence.

          Also platforms don’t want to be seen as places of free expression by the current administration. State department approved messaging only!
