A comment on Some Schools Are Blocking Replit to Prevent Kids from Coding. Parent comment
Some kid finds boobs in a google image search, outrage ensues.
Administrators task IT to block it.
IT responds that it cannot, as sometimes boobs are available even in Google safe search. There are no 100% solutions.
Administrators order IT to do something about it anyway, so IT decides to disable Google image search entirely.
IT discovers that Google image search doesn't use its own domain, so they have no choice but to block all of Google.
Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensues.
Administrators quickly reverse the decision to block Google.
In a 4 hour meeting, IT is eventually able to explain to Administrators why what they want is not possible. Maybe.
