What is a "legitimate" website? You use language to try to distance yourself from other websites on the blacklist, and in doing so, you support the act of censorship as long as it doesnt affect you. Thats like saving yourself from drowning by standing on the shoulders of another dying man. Once you cross the censorship bridge, there is no stopping it.
