The sex ones are the most inappropriate; I'm able to show you not even 10 percent of the list of flagged words/terms there, including some confusing ones that sound nontoxic until you seek out the urban dictionary definition. The Louisville list also includes 73 acronyms for slang that are eyebrow-raising. BYOB and AK-47 being two recognizable ones for the everyman.This monitoring is part of the deal when agreeing to play at either university. Wear our threads, we get to see what you're saying online at all times. One company put in charge of auto-tracking the unfiltered is called "Centrix Social." That's what Kentucky uses. Louisville uses UDiligence -- and again, none of the football and basketball players are scanned, while all UK athletes tweet/post under invisible supervision.
The more time passes the more glad I am that Rick Pitino bans his players from Twitter. The downside of players tweeting outweighs the plus side so significantly that I'm beginning to think it's the only logical play.
