Well... the problem is going to arise one day - if we know the content
of a resource is considered "bad" to show to a particular user, should
we admit to that user that the resource exists at all?

The Powers That Be are getting ready to control what you're allowed to
access, then monitor what you are accessing. I'm wondering how long it's
going to be until I have the Australian Federal Police knocking on my
door to arrest me for deviant behaviour based on my pattern of web
browsing. God forbid I should fall in love, or try to think for myself.
