The term “political correctness” (PC) was created in the 1990s and referred to the use of language by the powerful to refuse the needs of the oppressed. Although this fad subsided due to threats of terrorism, the rise of new media outlets such as Facebook and YouTube, which allow users worldwide to respond rapidly to news on a public platform, has revived the craze in political correctness. With the advent of the internet allowing for communities to globalize, the fear of offending others is prohibiting people from saying what is on their mind. This implicit censorship is both reinforced by peer pressure and the internet community in the form of clickbait articles and fake news, inhibiting free speech by making it increasingly difficult to voice unpopular opinions.
