Is there something better than censorship?

I mean, if you just gotta control that information. Gatekeeping at main choke-point. Censorship. Seems like the hamhanded option.

I like a voting system. Information rated and filtered according to trusted peers.

I guess that's the same as HN's voting, but you'd be voting on the voters too.

And of course we could also vote in more sophisticated ways than simply good-bad. But that might get laborious.
