The local paper carried a story today about how Beaver College (somewhere
in PA) is going to change its name, because many prospective students are
being prevented by nanny software from viewing a site with the B-word
in its name.

I'm not making this up.

and more

It should be noted that most of these newsgroups were blocked by Cyber
Patrol when we at the Censorware Project analyzed it in December 1997. As
expected, Cyber Patrol quickly unblocked the wrongfully blocked web sites
we noted (though they continue to come up with new bad blocks), but they
couldn't be bothered dealing with newsgroups.
