I also heard about a problem with a chat platform that kicked
german users for using the common word "weniger"
("less"/"fewer"). Meaning not only didn't it care about context,
it even banned incorrect spelling of words, which in this
example made it impossible to mention the Republic of the Niger.

Or the online palæontological conference where the word “bone” was filtered... How can one ever think such blanket filters will not go awry.
