CDC gets list of forbidden words

Censoring the CDC, of all organizations. What a travesty. The entire world looks to the US CDC for guidelines.

Let's be clear: The political right in the US pretends to care about free speech until they get serious political power.

It wasn't too long ago that conservatives were strongly against the depiction of violence and sex in video games.

This is not about free speech. It is perfectly acceptable for an organization to offer guidance and perhaps impose restrictions on how their own employees portray a topic publically in the name of PR and hopefully even compassion for their human audience. In other words the government can agree not to use certain words in public communications. This is very different from policing the general public when say talking about the CDC. That would be unconstitutional.

Do I agree with this personally? I dont know. It's probably better to offer a style guide for reasons other comments have already covered.
