US continuous to amaze me. Guns can be bought in supermarkets, but swear words are censored, and nudity until recent years was not displayed in movies. Now this; what’s next, censoring swears when typed?

Because of age appropriateness.

Guns are only sold to adults, and the only media censored in the US is that which is broadcast publicly to audiences of all ages. Nudity has been in US movies for 50+ years.

Many platforms for children do already censor swears that are typed.
