You May Not Have Received This Email

I had an email to DEOS bounced this week for a very minor matter, the use of a simple three letter word in an innocent context. I don't use the word here because I want to make sure OLDaily gets. Tomorrow I will not be so careful; I cannot write OLDaily in order to conform with some sort of Disneyesque view of the world. The article highlights a growing problem, the use of censorware to filter email messages on he internet. As the author observes, while the use of broad and sweeping (not to mention inaccurate) controls at an institutional level results in a substantial impact on service. The worst of it is, neither the sender nor the receiver know that the filter is removing messages. In the long term, this could be very damaging.
