Been tinkering with the preferences and have been amused more than once by the capabilities available with OS X  to protect the information on the disk.

FileVault
Allows to encrypt all data under your user folder.
If you loose  your password your files are lost.
Should be used with Secure Virtual Memory activated.
Secure Virtual Memory
Encrypts swap files on disk.
This will not encrypt data on RAM, so make sure you don’t leave your computer on sleep mode when you can’t be sure none will access it.
Secure empty trash
Writes over the pre-existing data, safely erasing it from the disk.
Erase Free Space
If you do not trust the secure empty trash option Erase Free Space might be the answer has it allow for three different levels of Erasing data on available disk space.

Many others are unhappy about too.

I have been noticing this happening in MTV and now Youtube, it is frustrating for users outside the USA.

edit: BBC is another site that implements this type of censorship.
