Interesting how they censor the word "fuck" like it's going to affect your brain if you read it fully spelled or something

Is it? I can lookup that word and see it in the pictures. Or is it the StreetView version that has been censored somewhere?
The pudding.cool article has a link labeled "View the map of “F*ck”" but it leads to a search for "fuck" instead. If you search for "F*ck", you find gems such as "CONTRACTOR F CK-UP" https://www.alltext.nyc/panorama/KhzY08H72wV2ldXamZU5HA?o=76... (Strategically placed pole obscuring the word.)
SEO, or family friendly values (maybe both!). Related: no swearing in the first minute of YouTube videos.
That's been changed (again). Iirc most swear words are now fine wherever they are in the vid.
Is that a youtube policy? It's so weird.
