What's next; banning certain letters from the alphabet, because they can be used for banned texts?
I vote we just ban DeSantis because he’s a dick. Clearly adult content…
He doesn't seem like much of an adult to me
Erdoğan unbanned the letters Q, W and X, which can be used for Kurdish texts, in his 2013 reforms, so I think it'd be a bit too soon to re-ban them now already, so that's probably not next.
I had to look this up, but it is a fact that certain letters were banned. I should not be so amazed. Back in the 1960's the Greek junta banned the letter Z, because it meant 'he is alive.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(1969_film) the movie is a fictional, but based on the actual events.
The one thing that amazed me was that it was Erdoğan of all people who eventually found it politically expedient to lift the ban.

May as well also get rid of G for gender, H for healthcare, I for intersectionality, L for liberal, M for marijuana, N for nonbinary, O for orange, P for progressive, R for radical, S for socialism, U for union, and V for vaccine.

You forgot A for Agenda.
g means gay.
A means abortion
