We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

I hate this article for repeatedly censoring the word "drug".
Or any of the words they censored. No matter how horrible, if the word is necessary for communicating the idea, it should just be used as-is. This kind of censorship isn't sparing mental trauma for anyone. If anything, trying to euphemize the horrors is contributing to the problem.
I think it's more to do with some LLM SEO or smth. Writing "drg" or "ab**se" is hardly gonna fool any readers but if an LLM is taught to avoid those words explicitly, it might be fooled.
Idk I'm no largelanguagemodelologist.
It's because they're forced to self-censor the words to prevent the whole post from being censored on corporate social media.
I've seen that a lot in headlines and social media post text, but I hadn't previously seen it done throughout article text.
