    This has been going on for over 25 years now.

    The kind of people who go into business building censorship software turn out to quite often be the kind of people who think feminism is a hate group, atheism is a cult, birth control is a dangerous drug, evolutionary biology is political extremism, and therapists are child-molesters. As such, it is unsurprising that this software’s behavior has quite often reflected those views.

      I had to complain to my school multiple times during highschool like 15 years ago for the same shit. Texas public school. I remember Atheism being blocked for being a cult then, which was just… infuriating as a tiny atheist.
