    Somewhat related note / PSA to all:

    When typing on Android 16 using Gboard (with permissions and custom dictionary turned off), the words “pedophile,” “pedophilia,” and “pedophilic” do not show up in the suggested set of words or autocorrections. It doesn’t say these are spelled wrong after you complete the word though. It simply offers no suggestions after “pedoph-” is typed and shows literally nothing when you put the cursor on the completed word, unlike any other word.

    Out of curiosity, I tried a bunch of swear words and slurs. Gboard will gladly show the N word if typed correctly for example, but not pedophile. (“Cocksucker” is the only other word I can find that has this seeming lack of dictionary presence.)

    The fuck?

      It’s likely only showing autocomplete for commonly used works, or maybe words that are statistically likely to be next, otherwise the list would be enourmous. There is a setting to not show offensive words, disabling that make is show pedophile as an option.

        Good call on the offensive words being disabled as suggestions. I definitely thought I had offensive word suggestions enabled, considering “cunt” and “dickwad” and all sorts of other stuff showed up (stuff I don’t recall typing before anyway) when I wasn’t enabling it.

        Just to confirm, I have offensive words enabled now and yes, pedophile and its relatives do show up. So it’s just … The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird, eh.

          The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird

          I was initially of the same opinion, but actually, which of those would you be most offended to be called? I wonder if that’s the scale they’re using?

            I absolutely get where you’re coming from, in the sense that being called a pedophile is way more damningly offensive than simply being a cunty cocksucker, for example.

            It does seem like a derived scale though if that’s the intent, like they’re ranking the actionability or capacity of the word to offend rather than the “how bad is this to say on network TV” level of offensiveness I’d expect.

    Of course, they just sold to Ellison and friends. It’s now just another mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

    Yeah and EA is blocking saying Epstein, but you can say trump and Biden but not Epstein. A lot of companies are protecting the pedos.

      If I ran a game company I’d block this shit as well. Morons need to turn literally every platform into some political squabble, and I wouldn’t tolerate it.

        You shouldnt have to turn every talk into a political one. If anyone would actually do anything about all the injustice, there would be less injustice to speak of. You remember when you were little and you discussed the hells of nuclear warfare with your other 10 year old friends on minecraft? No? Maybe thats because there wasnt an active nuclear war going on, perhaps? One that people like you enable by turning a blind eye?

          Listen dummy, I know this is very hard for you to understand because you’re passionate about some political things, but you’re proving my point, people play games to get away from this shit.

            i dont know what games you’re playing but you seemed to be getting way to upset over it for no reason you might need to seek help if your games is making this angry for you to PROJECT your problems like that. by the way most games are going to be political anyways.

            Sounds like you’re playing the wrong games then. Ever heard of Breath of the Wild? Stardew Valley is supposed to be pretty chill. Or you can always turn off your mic. Or mute specific players. Or play multiplayer games that don’t have voice chat. The possibilities are practically endless. But nah, mass censorship is the better option!

      tiktok was the only one that wasnt us controlled, that was allowing anti-zionist posts without severe astroturfing like with all the other SOCIAL media, thats the real reason.

      The server move hasn’t happened yet. This is TikTok doing what TikTok does because they, the Chinese Dictatorship, have always and will always support the Trump regime.

      Oh, yeah, I called it on day one. They were only pushing the ban because they wanted to capture it. Of course the new owner would be MAGA.

      Wait until they start demanding that AMERICAN companies be sold to a buyer of their choice.

      The ownership and server location changes haven’t taken effect, yet. The Chinese dictatorship have always been in Trump’s corner.

      It’s supposed to be (O)ne ®ich (A)sshole ©alled (L)arry (E)llison. Saying named throws the whole oracle thing out and then you might as well use more fun names like decrepit ass-goblin, or world champion cum wrangler to describe him

      Continuing to fulfill his purpose. Was pretty disappointing seeing CBS News pushing that sane-washing town hall with Erika Kirk with a temporary hard link on its navbar, but the Larry->David->Bari chain is complete and paying off there too.

    Freedom of expression was a great moto to grab power. Now: censorship of material already censored. I think most people slowly realize what’s going on thanks to moves like this. Do they?

      Hard to say. Even when elections happen it will be hard to say if those elections represented the views of the people.
