It was just pointed out to me that the joke has caused at least one user to
be confused enough by it to write to stack overflow as recently as 3 months
ago, and it has been viewed ~200 times.

The linked reddit thread from 7 years ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/d4783/federal_censorship_regulations_may_restrict/
Shows users do think it's a joke about abortion, rather than strictly about
censorship, and again the joke is seen as low quality.
