Mikky's definitions

paedonoia

Derived from a combination of "paedophile" and "paranoia" - used to describe the closure of a service, website, etc. because of the potential fear that it MIGHT be abused by paedophiles.

A bit like closing down your car dealership because you're afraid one of your customers MIGHT run someone over.

Paedonoia caused the closure of yet another internet service today.
