Oh boy, Ace Attorney. That Phoenix Wright has to deal with so much nonsense. Lol.

Don't underestimate the chances of humans screwing up when it comes to censorship.

I remember a case where someone was like "it's got to be an algorithm" because it was so bizarre and stupid. When the company fixed it, it turned out it wasn't just a human, it was multiple humans.
