They will do this. Firefox is starting with their extensions to block content that the devs are biased against.
Very soon only web browsers that censor to their bias will be allowed in the play store.
- DocTomoe 6y agoHuh? Do you have some more information on the Firefox bias blocking?
- barbacoa 6y agoI believe GP is referring to: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/firefox-b-tch-to-boss-extension/ https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/firefox-b-tch-to-boss-exten... Basically a bad word filter. But to GP's point the way things are going don't be surprised if extensions like these are someday set to default on.
- DocTomoe 6y agoSure ... but society would adapt and make replacement words as derogatory as the words they replaced. The euphemism treadmill is a well-observed phenomenon. I am glad my immediate worry about active suppression of information is not yet necessary.
- barbacoa 6y agoIdiot, imbecile, and moron used to be medical terms. Then they got associated with being derogatory and people started using retarded as the new PC term. Not that long ago I got chastised for saying someone who sustained brain damage was now mentally retarded.
