I think this demonstrates the problems with restricting information (Note: Not making a moral judgement of any kind, just stating the problem set is HARD)
Information has basically zero copy cost, and can't be removed once given. So to stop people from knowing, you have to stop them from originally learning. Except that the ability to learn is "cheap".
The same problems result whether we're preventing the spread of how to build a bomb, breed a superbug, or remove naked photos. Somewhere in that continuum will be info that you agree is best not to be spread, but the steps required to enforce that can be a lot more expansive.

It's hard.
