@@leomadero562 "In heat" is the animal equivalent of a period, so it can be a reference to sex or being horny.

@@BradenBest The heat censorship doesn't work at all.
@@DoubleZDogg It doesn't have to. I did it because it's funny. The idea of a web filter being so overzealous that it censors words like "heat", is _funny._
I played a Korean MMO that thought "asshopper" was a curse word. It was a martial arts game. New players were called grasshopper BY THE GAME ITSELF. If you called someone "grasshopper" it became "gr*********". People started calling new players "butthumpers" because that WASN'T censored.
I miss that game.
Lovely
Which game
Speaking of MMO, I recently had a discussion with someone about a certain armor set in FFXIV. Conversation went something like this:
"Neo-ishgardian comes to mind if you're looking for level 80 armor"
"Turns out darkhem*** ** the best available to me"
"Wait hold on, but darkhem*** ** endwalker?"
"Just checked again, darkhem*** ** level 80, it just requires 81 to craft"
the set is called "darkhempen"
The most aggressive filter I've encountered was in the online game ESO.
It would make entire sentences disappear if you accidentally included a banned word, so "My pen isn't writing" would turn into "My * * * * * * * * writing", thus making your sentence completely illegible.
and i thought roblox has the most aggressive filter
Hambini's favorite game. Look him up on YT.
ESO, as in Elder Scrolls Online?
There's a setting in the Socials tab I believe, that disables this type of chat censoring, for all chats (Zone, Guild, Private, etc)
@@SaturnianDragon i always does that 👍🏻
My school had a similar filter, and thanks to that nobody could search for a lot of "experts", as long as the previous word ended with an s. Which is a problem in German, because we have the compound words, so the "economy expert" is a compound of "Wirtschaft" (economy) and "Experte" - but here is the kicker: By compounding two such words, you always ad an "s" in between ("wirtschaftSexperte).
The absolute fury of my music teacher in middle school when we had to research gamelan, a genre of music, and every search was blocked because it had 'game' in it

Years ago my brother got a new phone, and as soon as the SIM was activated, he started to get calls from some girls accusing him of stealing their friend's phone. They were very talkative, and my brother would speak to them at length (usually on speakerphone with a room full of his mates), attempting to explain that this was a new phone and that he'd probably just been allocated the number that their friend had previously had. At one point, in desperation, he asked them where they were in the country (to establish that it was unlikely he had stolen their friend's phone if he lived miles from where they were). When they replied "Scunthorpe" the entire room burst out laughing and kept repeating "Sc-c*nt-thorpe" and didn't stop until long after the girls had hung up. Poor Scunthorpe.
My favorite story relating to this was a paleontology conference held over chat that automatically censored the word 'bone'. Also, keep in mind that Hell's Creek, Montanta, is also still a very important site.

What difference does it make? The reference is exactly as understandable.
I once read a rather steamy description of a sex act in which all the taboo words had been replaced with the names of Supreme Court justices. The meaning would have been instantly clear to any adolescent reader but there's cu8rrently no filter smart enough to catch something like that.
I played an old Lego MMO (Lego Universe) which banned the use of numbers to avoid kids giving out phone numbers. Which didn't really help when player names could have numbers in them and you'd need to refer to them, and the game had a trade system. In fact, it used a whitelist that removed a whole bunch of words, including words in the game itself, so by the time the game shut down (not long after due to a different moderation issue), there was just this entirely separate dialect of English in this MMO.
Blacklist, not whitelist. A blacklist blocks things, a whitelist allows them. If you throw a party and don't allow Tom Scott to come, you've created a blacklist. If you allow _only_ Tom Scott to come and nobody else, you've created a whitelist. They're both creating exceptions, but with different default conditions-whether everything's allowed or nothing is.
My Mum used to work for the West Sussex library service and they installed a new filter which blocked their own website due to this kind of flaw.

I remember an image of a person named Nasser, but the censorship took out the ass in it... it just made it look a lot worse.
Year 8 in IT Class. We had to design a holiday brochure in Microsoft Publisher on Scunthorpe.
10 minutes into being allowed to research the location, the entire class had been logged off their computers and blocked from logging in.
Joshua McGregor Now _that’s_ what I call an object lesson.
The funny thing is until the web filter blocks it, half those kids wouldn't have even heard of the word before. Irony.
To be fair, that could be Microsoft protecting them from false advertising. ;)
How do teachers expect year 8 students to pull off impossible tasks such as making Scunthorpe look nice?
This is one of the few reasons I use a VPN. Not for privacy, because as Tom has mentioned in another video that almost got sponsored by some VPN company, the internet is already secure enough. Not for watching content restricted by location/country, but for bypassing stupid ass institutional web filters.

The ones that drive me crazy are video game filters that prevent you from talking about the game itself because some of the game's own terminology is filtered.

I've been part of internet communities since 2005/6 and frankly I run into censoring issues again and again. I don't know how with the knowledge the internet provides, people repeatedly make the same mistakes. People repeatedly create systems that flag or remove blacklisted words that are incredibly short-sighted. It's honestly mind-boggling. A little research would tell you how bad of an idea your approach is. Heck, a little testing would too. I really don't understand it, and I think it is inexcusable. I never take it lightly when I get censored, kicked or banned for no reason, and if those in charge refuse to do something about it ASAP, I sure take my leave. What nonsense!

Oh god, that school filtering thing is so appropriate. In my school it started off as using Russian, Latvian and Slovakian game websites, then progressed to kids literally exporting flash games and having them as executable programs, and before I left, the final iteration was using a desktop streaming program to literally play on their home computers in school.
If there is a problem, people WILL find a way around it.
For me, from a student perspective, it started off somehow managing to find an unblocked gaming website, and essentially took off from there, it was just an accidental discovery
We went to using vpns
I was lucky enough to have a school that when they banned games, they accidentally banned some education websites that were used in class so they undid all the bans
my friends play ROBLOX on their account in school with this one website it is mindblowing the dark underground web kids have in school
When I was in school, for games, they seemed to block the executable specifically.
So, I would just open a Hex editor, add a 00 to the end of the executable, and it worked again.
I got around the web filter in my high school by writing down a teacher's password when he said it out loud in class. Nearly got me expelled, but damn was it good playing games in class.
why would he say his password out loud? he is clearly the one at fault here

You've spent too long.
Filtering problems have been around longer than the Internet. My mom worked for a bank, and had to get reports mailed out to mortgage customers. The primitive computer printed address labels.
Someone decided to save characters by filtering out "unnecessary" words such as "and" and "or" in the recipient line. Mom had to deal with many labels for letters addressed to names like "Erson" (Anderson), "Rews" (Andrews), "Ville" (Orville), and other abbreviations.
Back in the 90s I worked as a receptionist/clerk. Unfortunately, they gave the assignment of updating the mailing list to the typist/clerk, who was in his fifties and had previously "rebooted" his computer by turning the monitor off and then back on. They wanted him to change N,S,E, and W to North, South, East, and West.

I play Star Trek Online, and last year they launched a prize box themed to the events of the Star Trek: Voyager two-parter "Year of Hell". the top prize was a replica of the temporal weapon ship from those episodes. But the game's official forum was set to censor out the word "hell"to which I once said "How the hell can we talk about the Year of Hell, if we can't say hell?" they quickly fixed it.
Oh man, the Krenim Giant Space Reset Button! That basically summed up the wasted opportunities of Voyager...
Thank God, finally somebody who notices that. Although, the Iconian war as a whole (in the game), was a greater mess.
And, metropod, I never noticed that, but still funny. Okay, guilty, I play(ed) in German and don't even use the forum :D
I think everything in Voyager had a reset button at some point or other! What about The Killing Game one? Janeway's log entry says "The damage to Voyager has been EXTREME". They literally cut out entire decks. Next episode, everything's hunky dory and it's never mentioned again!

+metropod +Tom Scott Hah, I've just been recently rewatching Voyager. Just passed that episode last night actually.

I mean I know the commander was meant to be driven half nuts on his quest to get his wife and family back but sheesh.. I mean they do love to throw in time travel and manipulation in every star trek and they always kinda make some oddball nonsense when doing it :p Janeway even riffs on this as a character! "I always swore to myself that I'd avoid it!" (Time travel) and similar comments across various episodes
+viperhalberd Come to think of it, the year of hell two parter didn't make sense anyway. The whole earlier episode with Kes travelling back in time due to the chroniton radiation interfering with the Doctor's attempts to slow/reverse her aging process... They do make a comment to the effect that she should reveal to them important tactical information about the future and yet somehow when the year of hell two-parter comes around nobody seems to have a damn clue who the Krenim are! I suppose it's possible that the temporal weapon has altered history so much by that point that it redacts the events of that storyline but it's still kinda odd that they seemed to almost deliberately put in that hook to mean that the Voyager crew would be forewarned about the Krenim.

Exactly!
And teach them about the words before they hear them somewhere else! And use the raw words, not stuff like "n-word". Have them understand that these words are lame normal words, not some forbidden magic spell. Know when to (and not to) use them.
@@leonro So you want parents to say the n word to their children and then say that it is ok to use it in certain scenarios.
@@FletchiLaFille Well, obviously it's okay to tell your child what the word is so they know what not to say. How can you even teach them without telling them? Words are words, they can't offend any normal person if you don't use it on anyone. If someone gets offended because I simply used a word, they're way too oversensitive.
Most filters suck, but the idea that if you don't like your kid seeing the worst that the Internet has to offer you need just watch their screen at all times is idiotic.

Seems like a lot of the time, kids can figure out ways to get around web filters faster than they can be added/changed. Hi welcome to Gen Z, stuff like that is just encoded in us
Meet Roblox where you can't say a word without it being censored
You can say damnit though
Yet, it doesnt block the most popular, russian no no words
Well I mean you can paste Unicode characters that look like normal words and they won't get blocked
this ####### is really #####
Except for British words. Bum and spunk work just fine.
2:38 the way he stopped for half a second only showing that is hilarious
It will be interesting to see how these kind of blocks / filters work with the new chatGPT based large language models coming online.
Wellcome to the darkweb anyone
I think of this video when I talk to my friend Ms. Wank, who must use a different last name in order to have a Facebook account because their filters won’t allow her real one.
There is a guy in Norway whose family hails from Netherlands. His last name is Hottentot. He's had problems with his facebook account several times.
@@Tjalve70 Is it because of its racial uses in the past or does it have another meaning in the US/EU?
@@cronchcrunch Hottentot used to be what Europeans called the Khoikhoi in southern Africa. It is now considered a racial slur.
i played one game where the filter would just delete the filtered curse word. so the way to get around it was put it in the middle. to avoid actual cursing lets say the word Home was filtered
so if you typed “my home is nice” it would post “my is nice”
to get around it you type “my Hhomeome is nice” the filter removes the word home, completely but it only does a single pass so your post now reads “my Home is nice”
That's genius, haha
homomeme
which game
so "my aassss is heavy" would read as "my ass is heavy".
great
if it also turned a normal word into a curse word that would be really funny
I used to live just down the road from Penistone. 15 years ago I moved back to Scotland, and now I live just down the road from Cockenzie. And, of course, I grew up in Orkney, which has a parish called Twatt.
Brilliant thumbnail
When I was a kid I used to chat with my buddy on a program with a way-overzealous swear filter. When we were talking about sending Word files to each other, it rendered it as do$#%ents.
nice

What about cu***bers?
and that just teaches kids using innocent words that those letters form a bad word... teaching kids bad words, the opposite of what those filters are intended for

My high school always had seniors chip in to get custom hoodies with our graduation year and whatever nickname we wanted on it. One of my friends put “Stoner” (her last name) as her nickname and it was flagged as inappropriate
I could have watched another 20 minutes of this video. I want MOAR!
The camerawork in this video is amazing.
I can't believe they have stone in their name, think of the children they're exposing this language to.

It also gets really funny, when for example a web censor filter is applied to other languages. All the sudden you have really nonsensical censorship attempts on a language where the word doesn't even mean anything questionable.
I posted on an American forum about how I'd visited Charles D**kens' house.
He's probably known as Chuck D. over there or "Big Hanky Dank".

Us Americans are simultaneously the worst bad mouths in the world and most sensitive twatsickles you'll ever meet.
Dankman9 you missed the joke and r/ihavereddit
sci_pain3 It was a dumb joke that implies we wouldn't normally know who that is.
Just remembering that time my school tried to add a web filter and ended up with the psychology students unable to look up even the word psychology.
Why? What was objectionable?

Dude. The thumbnail 😂 you killed it tom!!
My favorite part about this video is how the camera stops at "Penis" for a few seconds, then pans to reveal the rest of the word (tone).
my favourite one of these is probably tied between a simplistic find-and-replace program anglicising a book and suddenly "participants" becomes "particitrousers" and neopets' censorship program deciding that "you forgot the nose crystal" (in response to somebody called crystal leaving the nose out of an emoticon) deciding that "nose" and "crystal" in the same sentence was, of course, a reference to crystal meth and blocking the user.
Hydraulic ram translates to water sheep.
nose crystal
nope you wish did you make this up? What site was that? Hmm
@@catarmour375 it is not?
@@lustyargonianmaid4071 it actually is. It's a real shame Pewdiepie killed hydraulic ram
I had a language filter on a site once censor the word "at." "I'm * the market." "Wh* are you up to?" never figured out wh* the issue was * th* site.

Why would they censor at???
@@Sickcrazyneet your guess is as good as mine
This is prolly the best Tom Scott video ahahah.
The utter creativity and innovative ability of humanity is amazing.
A few years back, I posted some photos I took of Michelangelo's David to Facebook, and they were immediately detected as nudity and blocked. To Facebook's credit, the block was reversed as soon as a human got to see the photos (about 10 minutes after I appealed). The AI they used correctly detected the photos as nudity, but it didn't have the necessary world knowledge to understand the rather arbitrary exemption we seem to give to certain artworks.
tbh thats perfectly reasonable
edit: damn i created a whole ass argument
@@zombieslayer1468 reasonable? Censoring a statue depicting a human body? How the funk is that in any way reasonable? 😬
Imagine being offended by the human body. Are you an alien, or what?

I once played a game that had a strict list of allowed words, everything else was censored.
Except they forgot to add the names of enemies (Cthulhu, for example) to the list.
“I fought ******* the other day!”
What game?
@@Krishy-dz4ov I think it was a version of Terraria someone made in Scratch
sometimes the censoring makes it sound worse
Ay least they didn't allow Cthulhu, but forgot to allow fought.
