Aaron’s Censorware

Ed Felten half-seriously suggests that we create censorware that doesn’t overblock and has an open list, so that US libraries who want to receive federal funding can do so without unduly harming free speech.

Up for the challenge, I’ve written a simple censorware program (the censor code is only a couple of lines): censor.py

It looks like it would take some tech knowledge to implement, but being able to honor CIPA without censoring important material would be worth it.
