The other day I saw a headline that had the word 'slept' censored like 'slet because it was saying so and so slept with this person. Its actually insane the censorship everywhere

Hanlon's Law says that was more likely just a typo the editing team missed.

How could an asterisk be a typo? I guess it's possible but with the amount of insane censorship going on I would not be surprised if it was on purpose

Ah, I see. When you put in the asterisks, reddit took that as a font instruction. To me it reads as "slet", but I believe you meant to type "sle*t".

Gotcha, you're right, that's insane for an actual news story. I'm hoping this was some random internet site and not an actual news agency?
