According to an article published by 9to5Mac, a bug in Apple's iTunes Match platform is causing certain explicit songs to be cleaned up! Instead of the exact version appearing in your iCloud storage space, a clean version from Apple's iTunes music catalog is incorrectly pulled -- effectively censoring your music collection. Rumors in the blogosphere point to the problem only affecting certain songs that haven't been purchased from the iTunes Store -- i.e. other online music services, ripped songs from CDs, etc. For some reason Apple's subscription iCloud add-on can't always identify an explicit version.

In the 9to5Mac article, a reader who contacted Apple via email to report the anomaly, received a response from an Apple engineer who allegedly said, "Apple is currently investigating the issue and working on a fix."
