Malaysia's New Auto-censorship Feature: "Playing Hard to Rainbow"

A New Level of Censorship

Back to the '80s?

Remember the good old days when censorship was as simple as bleeping out a few expletives? Oh, how times have changed! In an unexpected nod to the '80s, Malaysia's new auto-censorship feature brings back memories of VHS tapes spliced with white flashes and audio skips to tone down the risqué content. It's like Malaysia wants to be the Marty McFly of censorship!

Freedom of Speech Takes a Backseat

How Does it Work?

The inner workings of this auto-censorship feature are as mysterious as a Rubik's Cube in the hands of a toddler. Utilizing cutting-edge AI algorithms, the system scours the internet for potentially objectionable content and swiftly applies various censoring techniques to protect the innocent eyes of the Malaysian population. Just like The Terminator, this technology won't stop until it has censored them all!

Lost in Translation

The Allure of '80s Pop Culture

It's no secret that many of us have a soft spot for '80s pop culture, with nostalgic movies, music, and fashion making a comeback. But auto-censorship taking inspiration from the '80s? That's a whole new level of retro-cool that even Ferris Bueller would be impressed by! However, let's hope that this trend doesn't lead to Malaysia adopting a "Swatch Internet Time" or bringing back the mullet hairstyle.

A Step Too Far?

The Future of Censorship

As technology continues to advance, so does the way we experience censorship. From black bars across eyes to pixelating private parts, and now to AI algorithms automatically censoring unwanted content, the future looks bright for the censorship industry. Maybe they'll come up with a censorship feature that replaces swear words with tubular '80s slang like "radical," "bodacious," and "totally gnarly." One can only dream!
