Not just the old internet! Ever considered visiting the Sierra Nevadas? Well there's a wonderful, outdoorsy place in California that's just waiting to welcome you: Lake Tahoe! Visit, uh, gotahoe.com, and keep in mind that the Nevada border, where certain things unrelated to outdoor sports are entirely legal, is right there.

- revolvingocelot 4y agoSort of? "Tahoe" isn't the problem. Sure, "hoe" is a substring of "tahoe" but it's pretty clear that "tahoe" is a placename in a string like "visitlaketahoe.com". IMO they absolutely knew what "gotahoe.com" would be parsed as, it's very clever. It'd be a Scunthorpe if the site was getting flagged for "hoe", but it's a parsing problem at the user layer, not censorship elsewhere.
