HN is primarily about tech. There is some non-tech political news, but not a lot.

Facebook is censoring pro-Palestine views? My friends must not have gotten the news.

Say Darn.

It's not about saying the word, it's about the word that is put in front of 12 year olds on the home page of the app, and in any supporting material they can find online.... and what their parents think about their 12 year old seeing that word.

If this is meant as a tool similar to DVWA, I figured the author might want to be aware that DVWA causes a LOT of problems in K-12 because of it's name. If someone renamed it to "Darn", it would have saved a collective hundreds if not thousands of hours of K-12 educator time.

Many K-12 educators will not touch DVWA because of its name.

I figured the author of DVMCP would like to know that, if they want to improve adoption.
