flagged for "sensitive content"

I've linked to exploding chipmunk heads and other gory or uncomfortable content before, but I'm trying to think of the last time I actually put up "sensitive content" of my own on the blog. I think Google is finally coming for me, for it disagrees: my recent post, "images 2," just got flagged for "sensitive content," and it's now been placed behind a warning. You can still see the post, which hasn't been blocked or deleted, but you have to click past the warning to access it. Here's the email I got about the situation:

Click to enlarge, then right-click, then hit "open in new tab."

So some traitorous fucker looked at the harmless images in "images 2" and decided that one of them deserved flagging. We really do live in a Soviet society now, don't we, with all of us telling on each other. Note the Google email's hilarious "once the content has been updated, you may republish it." I've been given no indication as to what the specific objectionable content was (the bloodless photo of the girl with the sewn-up lips? what's sensitive about that?), so I don't know what to "update." And this is an automatically generated, "no reply" email, so I basically have no recourse. Sorry, readers, but you're just going to have to click past the warning to see my content on occasion from now on. And this is just another reason to move off this fucking platform. Google used to leave me and my content alone for years, but some time ago, they "warning-flagged" some old posts of mine. This is now the third time I've been flagged, so I think I've riled someone up, and I'm now on someone's radar as a troublemaker. Is this what it feels like to have a low social-credit score?

I'd been thinking about moving to Squarespace, but Squarespace—another Soviet sphere—polices its content, too. (Here's Squarespace's draconian "acceptable-use policy.") The only recourse I can think of is starting my very own website on my very own server. I can't do that, though, without learning about servers and websites from the ground up—something I've never had to learn up to now since I've passively relied on Google/Blogger for both the software that allows me to blog and the Cloud-related hardware that stores my data in some server somewhere on Planet Earth. More reason to sign up for SkillShare, to learn the relevant skills, and to become an online beast who doesn't need to rely on anyone and who can't be canceled by anyone.

To be clear, the above warning by Google isn't a canceling, but it's definitely a step in the wrong direction, and a sign of things to come. Thus do we non-Soviets build the so-called "parallel economy." It's all thanks to stupid shit like this.
