While on the subject of open access to public sector information, it does not exactly inspire confidence that "unwanted material" is to be filtered from the internet via a secret black list, the contents of which will not be revealed. That would make it impossible to appeal if one's website/blog/whatever is deemed by some future, less enlightened government to be "unwanted". This would be like arresting someone and passing sentence without bothering with the irksome details of charging them or having a trial. Those of us with some knowledge of history are understandably cautious about such things.
