Sigh, another misunderstanding. There's no censorship involved here 
except individuals choosing not to retrieve keys based on their being 
known to be the keys of content of a kind they personally don't like. 
By not retrieving the keys they save bandwidth and also can avoid 
encouraging the spread of content they don't approve of. But their 
node will not treat the keys any differently, only the frontend 
software they are using to retrieve and view freesites, and also 
there would be no centralised control involved that could be abused.
