I imagine it will be even worse for 2024. I notice Conservatives are at least catching on to this and have altered their word-phrasing to thwart the attempts by the MLAI, using terms like "OnlyFools", "Garden tools" or "304s" to overcome the censorship of words associated with negative connotations of sex work.
I doubt Leftists will catch on, though, as they were the main ones advocating that big corps enable censorship because "they don't have to abide by free speech because they're private companies".
I'm curious how many Leftists will still be cheering on the censorship of certain ideas they espouse that don't align with the establishment?
It spells "hoe" in a calculator if you type in "304" and flip it upside down. It's a euphemism for "whore" because you can't call women whores on YouTube or your comment is auto-removed. So to get around that people use "304" or "4TS", the latter of which means "for the streets" -- which infers that she's a prostitute -- since sometimes calling women prostitutes with negative connotations will also result in your comment being auto-removed. For content creators they also call them "304s" to avoid being demonitised for calling women whores under the hate speech/discrimination community policies.
Yeah, they did the same thing back in 2020, too.

What's a 304?
