And if your system is open-source (which it would have to be to be
remotely secure) someone just writes a non-filtering client. Since
everything has to be encrypted before going out into the net, it can't be
filtered anywhere but at the inserting client, so you're screwed anyway.
See, it's completely infeasible!
