  Sort 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.
