Federal Government's Growing Banned Words List Is Chilling Act of Censorship

I&#x27;m old enough to remember when many of these words and phrases weren&#x27;t in common usage or they just wouldn&#x27;t have made sense (certainly not in the way we currently understand them). Society was very different back then.<p>I think this list is solid confirmation of something we already know which is that cultural and social mores have changed so much and so rapidly over the last 60 or so years that many have failed to adjust. For them, change has outpaced their ability to adapt and it has left them feeling alienated and culturally isolated.<p>For society, change has been a two-edge sword: those who felt oppressed under the old order have been liberated whilst many of the old guard now feel oppressed. Thus perhaps we shouldn&#x27;t be surprised at the extent of the backlash.<p>This current backlash seems to indicate there&#x27;s an actual limit to the rate that societal norms can change and still meet with agreement or consensus for the majority of the population. Observation suggests that in recent decades that not only has this rate been exceeded but also the disruption it&#x27;s caused is increasing without any sign of abating (society is now more polarized than ever).<p>I&#x27;m not a sociologist so I&#x27;d like to know what current research says about this. (It seems to me we cannot properly address the problem until we&#x27;re fully conversant with the facts.)

Banned for whom and on what? Where is the master source for these words? Surely there must be one or federal agencies would not be able to comply. Is there an API one can implement in their application to ensure no naughty words are utilized? How many days do HN, Tweeter, Facebook, Mastodons, all the chat servers have left to implement the API?

&quot;Attention from Congress&quot; is banned? Can anyone make that make any kind of sense?

I just have one word for this: Scunthorpe

Fucking nazis.

&quot;gender-affirming care&quot; aka kid mutilation
