        time to update the wikipedia entry then...

        think parents suppression of "communication [] considered
        objectionable, harmful, sensitive or inconvenient"  wrt
        their children.   the key is "controlling body"... be it 
        ISP, Government, CorporateIT, your mom, or the school board.

        It might even be -YOU-  (you do have control, right?)
