We've had "naughty words" filters forever. We've had egress filtering (even though most people don't use it). So tell me how this combination is not completely obvious, and therefore patentable?
There was no link to the actual patent and I can't be bothered searching for it, but perhaps its a "process patent" where they effectively patent their specific implementation, rather than a patent claiming to cover the "basic invention" itself?
