Despite protest from the author of the book, many areas of the book were censored by The Media Control Department following the [[J-noth|J-noth incident]] in which every electronic device fried themselves simultaneously after a computer virus similar to the one described in the book began to spread throughout the Webby. Nobody knows if it was inspired by the book (except maybe the person who sent it out, but nobody knows who they are). | |||
Tanisha Jalbert, the author of the book, made a comment about the censorship: ''"DATA REMOVED BY THE MEDIA CONTROL DEPARTMENT"''. | |||
