That principle seems to heavily underpin all on-line censorship systems as it's fostered by the character of virtuality of Internet networks.
It also seems to be a dangerously recursive process, as showed by the "Transparency Report" by Google which is itself censored (ex, they can not show China statistics):

@Collin: I hope the same. In any case I very much appreciate the fact that a simple work like this can stimulate discussion.
Matju observations are moving the conversation onto other interesting insights.
