ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses four types of content that elicit the sorts of responses: some users find them irritating, frustrating, or worse. The four types of content, such as, misinformation, malinformation, messed-up information, and mostly useless information are somewhat playful, the actual experience of encountering such content, and its effects, can be far from humorous. And content can be an access issue if it drives away prospective participants to the online environment. Ironically, improving access for some people, and bringing greater diversity of perspectives and interests online, creates an access problem for others who are frightened or offended by such material, and so choose to stay away. For users who stay and continue to use the Internet, the actual benefits of what they stand to gain will be affected by how well they can make discerning judgments about what they find. Challenges to censorship may come from many types of individuals or groups and for many reasons.
