This is what I see. But my mom put the TVGuardian on the WiFi. :(
Actually knew/was trying to date a grown woman who lived alone, no kids, and had one of these lol That thing creeped me out.
Those things aren't connected to the internet, so I actually would trust that thing in my house. They just compare the closed caption text against of list of no-no words and swap them with a family friendly version. The early versions didn't give a shit about context so sometimes it would make no sense. No idea if the newer ones have fixed that. Why an adult with no kids wants that is certainly something.
Edit: Technology Connections's video is my source
Oh, I know they're not connected to the internet. It was a joke. And it turned out her whole family was kind of a bunch of culty Christians. Like, the kind of people who would shout gibberish and call it speaking in tongues. She was a nice girl, but getting to know her family was an...experience. And it totally explained some things lol
HBO go or max or whatever the fuck its been called censored the subtitles to the wire for some reason. My favorite was when it replaced "mother fucker" with "Maryland farmer." I still use that as an insult sometimes.
I have kids, and while yeah I don't want them repeating some words until they understand them as well as the appropriate social context...
Not what I'm worried about when it comes to TV/streaming.
