The scary thing is that if you swapped out the 1984-speak for regular modern euphemisms and corporate jargon, and cut out the last few sentences, this could've totally been something posted on one of these website's help pages or in their press release, otherwise unedited.

Though, these websites aren't driven by some misguided but well-meaning vision to treat society of its ills. They only care about making money, and advertisers have just converged on demanding that anything complimenting their ads be squeaky-clean, inoffensive, always happy. They dictate their preferences to services that primarily make money off ads. The way advertiser interests end up clashing with people's desire for free expression is just a side effect to them.
