We can't say "drug" anymore? Are people actually offended by seeing the word "drug"?

Oh I thought that said "Dr. G". As in there was a doctor who called himself Dr. G that was going to give discounts.

AI enforcement. AI doesn’t look for context it just sees the word and tosses the submission.

It is funny that this technology is nascent enough to have the intelligence of a dog. Like spelling out W A L K so it won't get too excited.

Yes I realize this kind of moderation (read: censorship) does happen.

But nobody is stopping you from using the specific word “drugs” anywhere in just about any context, nor most of the words people self-censor on social media these days.

Because bots, algorithms and AI spot "bad language".

There's a crawling new feature on Reddit subs: you write certain words, you can't post at all. Even if the context of your post requires it.
