unrelated to your question: Your website's very pretty, but doesn't scroll horizontally on mobile. It also looks like there might be a bug in the code sample - where does "fingerprint" come from?

#34I thought buttbuttination taught everyone how incredibly stupid this is 25-30 years or so ago already? But no.

#39keyword moderation is terrible and only affects the language(s) you know about. It doesn't actually prevent the content (the goal of these types of filters) from being served. It'd be like a virus scanner preventing a program from running because it had the name 'virus' in it ... which would prevent itself from running -- probably.
My favorite is the online name censoring in video games. Dark Souls infamously just does a straight check of any string match within the name against a big list of no-no words.
