        Could be for the sort of awful filters so frequently employed by schools that just block content based on matching a list of banned words exactly, like I used to have in high school years ago. We couldn’t visit a page on breast cancer without an admin override while learning about cancer in the school library as part of an assignment, all because their awful content filter flagged the page as porn for having the word breast in the page.

          I worked for a college that banned the word ‘adult’. We had a course called ‘Adult nursing’. You could not access the course list of the colleges own website because of this.

          Fun addition, I was the IT tech, I had to spend a ridiculous amount of time whitelisting different domains.
