Even Winslow Homer!  Forbidden! Banned! Anathem!

"Why Did Google Ban Winslow Homer?"

"The artist's sketches of Confederate soldiers aren't 'dangerous or derogatory content'—they're historical evidence."

"Claudia Strauss-Schulson has been running Schulson Autographs, which sells historical documents like letters signed by presidents or a doodle by Marlon Brando, for around 15 years. Strauss-Schulson, speaking to me from Millburn, New Jersey, tells me she was 'flabbergasted' when she got an alert that Google—her site is optimized for the search engine, meaning would-be buyers are shown her products in their results—had flagged a small sketch of a Confederate soldier by the artist Winslow Homer as [problematic] 'dangerous or derogatory content.'” 

OH, I get it. A wartime sketch art of a captured Confederate soldier might suggest to some an approval of the secessionists during the American Civil War. Absurd! Image has been red-flagged.

Devoted readers to the blog need to read the entire article for themselves. Draw you own conclusion.

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT MR. WINSLOW HOMER DURING AN EPISODE OF TIME TRAVEL WOULD EVEN HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE AS TO WHAT THE BROUHAHA IS ALL ABOUT!
