Beyond redefinitions, it turns out people are really good at creating codes. The french Argot was such a code, designed by thieves and criminals. It created a whole new wealth of dangerous words. Instead of Internet search tracking, they feared eavesdropping.
That law is pointless. You're supposed to use Internet searches as bait as long as it works, not force criminals to create a new language immediately! There were paedophiles before the Internet! And I question the idea that porn makes children go paedophiles to begin with, which I understand this "Think of the children" argument builds on.

This reminds me of the last days of Napster when they started filtering on lists of artists' names and you had to iterate over various misspellings to find the "consensus" on how to "properly misspell" names.

Perhaps 4chan will come to the rescue! I'm sure "Cameroning" will take on a new meaning soon :)

As someone with the first name of Cameron, I really, really hope not. (Although I could be convinced on the furry-rape-sex.)
Anyone googled "santorum" recently? The Wikipedia article has a nice rundown on how a US Senator's name ended up thus: 'The word santorum, as defined, has been characterized as "obscene", "unfit to print", or "vulgar".'
I eagerly await the day a Google image search for "David Cameron" starts returning furry-rape-sex pictures, and "Conservative Party" some even more "abhorrent" & "illegal material".
