EDIT: I've opened a post on Meta.SE to ask what the official stance on topics that may not be legal in certain countries, and the general response seems to be that the corporation does not censor these discussions, and that it is up to an individual site to determine if it is considered topical.

I guess a misconfigured firewall wouldn't really count as "counter-intelligence"...

Communications security involves the ability to send a message without it being intercepted and blocked. Censorship, whether done by a government, misconfigured firewall, or blackhat hacker is a type of counter-intelligence. As such, both blocking specific messages and getting around such blocks fits squarely within the realm of infosec. As long as the question is not specifically asking how to break a specific system without showing understanding of the concepts is a close reason we have. We do not, and should not, have a close reason for evading censorship.
