As Daily Mail puts it: ‘Users typing ‘landlord’ will see a warning that it ‘may not be inclusive to all readers’ with the suggestion they should try ‘property owner’ or ‘proprietor’ instead. The word ‘humankind’ is a suggested alternative to what the online giant apparently sees as the controversial term ‘mankind.”
Of course, terms that are gender specific like ‘policeman’ or ‘housewife,’ will be exchanged for ‘police officers’ and ‘stay-at-home spouse.’

Go woke, go broke. I have not used Google for much in a while, so this doesn’t effect me that much. But, all this is going to do is cause another small exodus of people to get away from all this censorship, to seek or create new avenues that are neutral or on the other extreme.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
