Even Wikipedia Is Too Risqué For Ab.

[Hymie]

I see my post with a link to a Wikipedia article has been removed by the thought police.

If you want to see the article for yourself – it is the last article under ‘Did you know...’ on today’s Wikipedia’s Main page.

Well the expletives were listed in full in he name of the link you posted so am not surprised. Nothing to do with thought police.

I enjoyed it.

Links containing offensive terms tend to get removed by AB's automated software, rather than by moderators. For example, at one time it was impossible to post a link to the website of Severn Trent Water because it included the letters t, w, a and t in succession!

PS: AB's automated software can end up looking a bit silly sometimes. Sqad had to campaign for it to allow him to use 'bloody' in a purely medical sense and loads of AB members have encountered difficulties when posting about a female dog! (I seem to remember that there was also a time when female cattle couldn't be mentioned either!)

Does the automated software scan the contents of links?

[barry1010]

Oh! I now realise the link itself contained the offending words

This AB censorship (automatic or otherwise) is protecting whom & from what?

Synt? I'm OUTRAGED!!!!!!!

If you want to see the Wikipedia article (that is now no longer on the site today’s ‘Did you know...’), you can find it by using the search function, and searching for ‘Boris Johnson is still a’
