Richard Stiennon has a post about efforts by EU Justice and Security Commissioner Franco Frattini to make search engines block certain “dangerous words” like “bomb, kill, genocide or terrorism.” So, since this post has those words in it, you may not be able to read it in the future. Or maybe Orrin Hatch will figure out a way to just have computers storing such dangerous words to be destroyed by lasers or something.
The most important question: who gets to decide which words are dangerous? I vote that we add “Frattini” to the list.

I just ordered a copy of "What Is Your Dangerous Idea" by John Brockman.
I'll have to get back to you (unless Orrin acts quickly).

Here are two more keywords that might help you get banned faster: "Ron Paul"
Our family internet filter is blocking an archive of his writings and talks (http://www.ronpaullibrary.org) as a "security risk."
Maybe he needs to stop talking about the first amendment so much...
