Everything is NOT what it seems when it comes to Disney+.

Fans might notice some differences in some old episodes as they rewatch some of their favorite shows on the streaming giant, but one particular fan noticed some pretty unusual censoring during an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place.

While watching season 2 episode 10 of the series, Twitter user Danielle Owen (@lovelychubly) noticed that Theresa Russo, played by Maria Canals-Barrera, had her cleavage blurred in a scene.

According to Inside the Magic, which first wrote about the censoring, "these scenes involving Canals-Barrera originally aired on Disney Channel without any form of censoring, so its unclear why Disney made the decision to start censoring the actors appearance now that the episodes are on Disneys streaming service."

Seventeen also checked out the episode on iTunes and the blurring was exactly the same as in the Disney+ version. It is possible that it was added in for all digital releases of the show after it aired.

This isn't the first time Disney+ has faces censoring accusations.

Production on the highly-anticipated Lizzie McGuire reboot paused after the some Disney executives disagreed with one of the main storylines, which featured a character cheating on another. Meanwhile, Love, Victor moved to Hulu as some of the topics were seen as not too family-friendly.

Recently, fans of Hamilton expressed concern over the show running on Disney+ as the beloved musical will start streaming on July 3.

Disney Fan Notices Censoring in "Wizards of Waverly Place" Episode Streaming on Disney+ - Seventeen.com

A few days ago, YouTube removed an interview with Professor Dolores Cahill from the Computing Forever channel after Business Insider complained that it was filled with COVID-19 conspiracies and reported it to YouTube.

After the video was removed, the channels host, Dave Cullen, posted a brief 3:38 second update where he discussed the censorship of this Cahill interview.

And now YouTube has taken down Cullens update video for violating YouTubes community guidelines.

In this update video, Cullen talked about the takedown of the Cahill interview, shared the vague takedown notice hed received from YouTube, and encouraged viewers to watch the Cahill interview on BitChute a YouTube alternative that supports free speech.

He also shared his opinion that the coronavirus is no more dangerous than seasonal influenza and that societal changes which are being ushered in as a response to the coronavirus are making way for what looks like a China-style social credit dystopia.

Additionally, Cullen slammed the censorship of the Cahill interview, discussed the need for a broad spectrum of ideas represented in order to finally find the truth, and warned that such censorship will create a Streisand Effect.

He closed out the update video by encouraging viewers to watch, download, share, and reupload the Cahill interview wherever they can.

While YouTubes notice only cites general community guideline violations, the update video was presumably taken down because YouTube deemed Cullen sharing his opinion on the coronavirus as going against the World Health Organization (WHO) something thats banned under the platforms controversial coronavirus policies.

Although the video has been removed from YouTube, its still available on BitChute.

Not only is YouTubes decision to censor a video calling out its censorship layered in irony but it also highlights the platforms increasingly aggressive enforcement against what it deems to be coronavirus misinformation.

The majority of the video focused on YouTubes censorship of the Cahill interview but Cullen briefly sharing his opinion on the virus seemingly was enough to get it taken down.

The removal of Cullens videos is the latest in a wave of recent coronavirus video takedowns on YouTube with some recent examples including the deletion of a video from anti-lockdown epidemiology researcher Knut M. Wittkowskki which had racked up millions of views and the removal of a popular interview with Dr. Judy Mikovits on the Valuetainment channel.

However, as YouTube faces mounting criticism for its censorship of coronavirus content, some videos are being reinstated.

Following its recent arrival on the streaming service, fans have discovered that Netflix has censored the seconds long shot of the Oh L L lingerie magazine cover in Back to the Future II.

After a frantic chase to retrieve the Grays Sports Almanac from the younger Biff Tannen in an effort to restore the timeline to its original state, Marty McFly finally obtains the almanac after Principal Strickland confiscates the book from Biff and tosses it in the garbage.

However, Marty instead discovers that the confiscated book was actually a risqu lingerie magazine titled Oh LL which Biff attempted to disguise using the cover of the almanac. Dismayed, Marty discards the lingerie magazine and resumes the hunt for the history altering publication.

The magazine cover, featuring a woman wearing a modest-by-todays-standards night gown and high heeled sandals, appears for roughly 5 seconds of total screen time.

In the Netflix edit, while the contents of the magazine are still seen, these five seconds have been completely removed, resulting in a jarring and confusing cut transition straight to Martys frustrated panic.

These edits were documented by the titular host of the Salty Nerd podcast and Youtuber Justin Proper, who provided the original and edited scenes, respectively:

As of writing, Netflix has not commented publicly on the reason for this strange and unnecessary edit.

In a recent episode of Slightly Offens*ve, Elijah Schaffer offered a "daily dose" of madness as he discussed a new member of the Twitch moderation team: a transgender who identifies as a deer and who openly threatened to ban Twitch users with less "diverse" opinions.

"I have power, they can't take it away from me," bragged Steph Loehr, also known as FerociouslySteph. "And honestly there are some people that should be afraid of me, and they are because I represent moderation and diversity and I'm gonna come for harmful people. If you're a really sh**ty person I'm gonna stand up against you. Period. And Twitch is endorsing me to do that."

"At least mental illness has a name, and that name is apparently Steph Loehr," said Elijah. He played videos of Loehr explaining how she likes to "prance around and eat grass," as well as having a "deergasm."

"This is the state of free speech online. This is who's censoring you," added Elijah.

Elias Dehni is a Lebanese professional e-sports competitor who has, so far, scored 2 first-place wins in the Junior division of the ongoing tournament for the World ERally Championship (WERC).

WERC is an international virtual racing tournament that takes place over a period of several months across different video gaming platforms.

After winning the Argentina Rally back in April, Dehni dominated the DiRT Rally 2.0 race again in the most recent round of the tournament, the USA Rally, in May.

In the latter, the Lebanese player crossed the finish line with the winning score of 00:33:52.620, after racing 69 competitors from around the world.

With this win, Elias Dehni, who is registered as ELIAS_DEHN05 in the virtual rally tournament, made up for the loss he had suffered during the previous round the Finland Rally when his car crashed mid-race.

Dehnis next challenge, the Greece Rally, starts on the 1st of June and lasts until the 8th.

Following that, the e-sports gamer will have to push through 9 additional rallies, namely Monte Carlo, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Scotland, Australia, and Wales, before the competition ends in late November 2020.

Each of these rounds lasts one week and involves 9 different stages with varying settings and virtual weather conditions.

The WERC takes place between more than 500 players across three video game platforms; PC, Xbox One, and PS4, which is Elias Dehnis console of choice for this tournament.
