Canon Blocks Copy Jobs Using Banned Keywords

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-helpful dept.

aesoteric notes that a future version of Canon's document management system will include the exciting breakthrough technology that will OCR your printed and scanned documents, and prevent distribution of keywords. Documents containing the offending words can be sent to the administrator, without actually telling the user just what word tripped the alarm. The article notes that simply using 1337 for example will get around it.

    How about American adults grow the frak up already so you can get rid of those moronic fascist censors at the FCC? Violence is supposedly OK but boobs and swear words are not? What the hell is wrong with you people?

    Parents need to grow up and do their job of deciding what is appropriate for their children to watch and what is not. Stop relying on a nanny state to do your job.
