    IOW, an important but difficult article on censorship that means well but strangles free speech and the flow of information.
    So what we have here is Google among others, is using journalistic key words as a trigger to keep their advertising from not showing up next to it.
    It is a much bigger category beyond "human sense" of not putting the morning after pill next to a baby diaper ad. It is "algorithm sense" of not putting certain content next to anyone. Like rap, hip hop morphing into "abortion, transgender, racism, and "Parkland, Florida".
    The point: the screening content so as to not dilute ad revenue, has the side effect of killing free speech with a "ket word algorithm" the advertisement companies use as a finger print free censorship tool.
