90-year-old Beaver Magazine changes it's name due to online porn filters

Canada's The Beaver magazine renamed to end porn mix-up:

Canada's second-oldest magazine, The Beaver, is changing its name after 90 years because the title is too often censored by online porn filters, preventing it from reaching new online readers.

The Winnipeg-based magazine was launched in 1920 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Hudson's Bay Company and the fur trade that led to the early exploration of Canada.

"The Beaver was an impediment online," publisher Deborah Morrison told AFP.

"Nearly a century ago, it probably seemed the perfect name for a magazine about the fur trade and Canada's northwest frontier. There was only one interpretation for the word then.

"But you're likely to find a lot of (porn) sites now if you search for the title of our history magazine online," she said.
