Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History

Every day, I expect to hear the announcement that Britain has banned George Orwell’s 1984. It cannot be far off.
All of this behavior displayed by the British government – and the nation’s various censors – was predicted in that book, down to the letter. That creates a situation that is problematic for the British authorities if anyone ever looks at the book.
They would have to say “well, Orwell might have thought an Orwellian society was bad, but we think it is safe.”
RT:
A ‘sexist’ ad in a British car magazine has been banned for “objectifying women.” The ad featured no nudity and was banned after a single complaint from a disgruntled reader. PC gone mad?
The ad for Strasse, a Porsche garage in Leeds, ran in the February edition of 911 and Porsche World Magazine. Captioned “Attractive Servicing,” it featured a female mechanic clad in a figure-hugging black skirt and tights, partially hidden under a car and surrounded by tools.
I thought this kind of sexist sh1t went out with the dodo, but sadly not… https://t.co/3mnGRy4oEF #marketing #advertising

The ad received a solitary complaint, prompting the Advertising Standards Authority to investigate. On Wednesday, the regulator announced it would ban the ad.
Strasse had tried to appeal the complaint, arguing that the power tools in the picture “empowered” the woman, and that the garage’s rates were the truly “attractive” offering.
The ASA had none of it, ruling that the double entendre “was likely to be viewed as demeaning towards women.”
“We concluded the ad was not sexually explicit, but by using a suggestive image that bore no relevance to the advertised product, the ad objectified women and was likely to cause serious offence to some people,” the ASA said.
If one person can now get something banned… that is exploitable.
Take note.
This article was corrected to not call the ASA a government body. It is extra-governmental.
