TBLs idea of a "web of trustworthiness" is not new, it has always been one of the applications in his vision of the semantic web.

Yeah right, as if repressive goverments need an excuse from TBL to censor the internet. Anyway, they are certainly not going to wait for the realization of "the semantic web" to start censoring.
