The Ultimate Censorship: Ideas in Words By Brian Simpson

     If we keep up with word software, soon none of us will be able to write the politically incorrect diatribes that people across the world love to read and share with family, friends and friendly family pets:

“Microsoft is set to release a new version of Word that uses artificial intelligence to make your writing ‘politically correct’. You know how annoying it is when the iPhone corrects ******* to ‘ducking’ every time you type out the word? Imagine that for an entire essay.The new feature, called ‘Ideas in Word’, will recommend ‘sensitive’ phrases like “We need to get some fresh blood in here” be modified so that “fresh blood” becomes “new employees”. suggest you use “mailperson” or “Congressperson.” If you use the term “gentlemen’s agreement,” it may suggest you use “unspoken agreement” instead.” The term “disabled person” would be replaced with “person with a disability while the new version’s “inclusiveness check” searches for words or phrases that might be “offensive” to someone from another country or culture. Mark Sullivan, who is a fan of the new features, says he is worried about “unknowingly or accidentally inserting terms or references in my writing that convey value judgements that I don’t really mean” and wants to avoid “writing something that might offend”. Rumor has it that every new purchase of Word will come with a voucher for a yearly supply of soy lattes from Starbucks.”

     All the more reason to stick with old versions of the terrible package Word or get alternatives to Billy Gates, with there being plenty of free options out there:

     We have the next causality in Big Tech censorship, this time again against Natural News, banning its climate “science” critique:

“As part of the accelerating techno-dictatorship sweeping across the online world, Apple News has banned Natural News for expressing views which Apple claims are “rejected by the scientific community.” This ban was received shortly after Natural News published a rebuttal to the junk science climate change narrative which falsely claims that carbon dioxide is a poison that will destroy the planet. (Only someone who is scientifically illiterate or completely brainwashed could believe such a falsehood.) Natural News dares to state the simple scientific fact — now confirmed by NASA — that carbon dioxide boosts the growth of green plants all across the Earth. This is not allowed by the techno-fascists of the Left who run Apple and insist that CO2 is somehow a poison that’s responsible for “climate change.” Whether Natural News is right about this or not is not the issue, because the questions raised deserve to be debated and not shut down. It makes me think: what have the climate changers got so spooked about? Why not refute the critics by rational scientific arguments rather than shutting them down?”

     So much for the joy expressed in the early days of the internet of a free market place of ideas, mixing Adam Smith and J. S. Mill! Techno monopolies and political correctness have killed of that dream.
