If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.
451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.
Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."
@ramsey Just noting we're asking people to risk their jobs because a bunch of us were too fucking lazy to vote these bastards out. I hope they do it, but I hope we all do some soul searching to ask ourselves how we got here.
@lyda Right. I'm hoping that a 451 will go unnoticed by most and for those who do notice, one could make a pedantic argument to claim they weren't doing it out of a subversive intent.
