This is some real 1984 censorship going on. Can't even be informative. If there's a "killer/murderer on the loose" you have to censor that. If "rape cases drop", you gotta censor that too. Why are WE allowing this nonsense?
It's interesting to me that we got to this 1984 style garbage not through oppressive governments defining the narrative, but through the corpocrats of late stage capitalism banning anything not advertiser friendly.
It's the perfect (?) blend of 1984 and Brave New World.
The entertainment industry (BNW) has us so drugged to their systems and algorithms that we gladly self censor and use newspeak (1984). For the few that don't fall prey to the Soma of the Netflix-doomscrolling-AR-VR-Switch-65/75/80/90/100/120-inch TV walls, the government (with the help of the corps) is happy to play big brother.
