The problems (if they can be called "problems") are not comparable in magnitude.

Swear words - a short finite list of words. A straightforward problem. To digress, I have always wondered though why A*al is considered a swear word. While I have never engaged in a*al activities of sexual nature, I thought the word at least belonged to old fashioned Freudism. So... why ban it? But I am sure DocJohn does not make the call but just uses built-in solutions.

Links - an infinite set of possibilities. A problem that is very hard to solve. Very costly and all the solutions are error-prone.
