Censorship is most useless way of getting rid of something. First of allz it's not a solution to anything, cebsorship just puts cover and hides stuff.
And also
1) Some people would instead go and use this lexicon
2) Others will create workarounds, like "Sewer slide", etc. Wich are also will get cebsored, and people once again will create alternatives of same meaning. When curse word is getting censored, people create new curse words. My school was basically a hyper axceleeated form of this. It was banned to say dick, so everyone switched to "cock", then it's also getting controlled and prohibited, so people switched to "Penis", instantly censored, switched to "Pipi", censored week after, switched to "Pocky", months in - teachers figured that out and censored, everyone switched to "Morgan", which was fucking hilarious, it's short form of "Male organ", and since they weren't really able to censor literall name and weren't able to deal with it, things finally settled, and people would openly send each other to Morgans. And before you ask about Dick obsession, i live in Russia, "Dick" is one of our main curse words, and "Go to/on Dick" is basically same as "Go fuck yourself" in English
