(*)  Social-infohazard:  Information conveys ordinary positive advantage to individuals who know it, but has net negative value to society because of how that knowledge affects people around them.  E.g., exact knowledge of how to construct scalable weaponry cheaply, if such a thing existed, would be an ordinary advantage to an individual who knew it, but disadvantageous to have spread widely within society.  Strongly distinguished within decision theory from the much weirder case of 'individual-infohazards', in which you personally are harmed by learning new true information and would pay to avoid the true value of a previously uncertain proposition, thereby proving you can't possibly be a truly Lawful and coherent agent, or else that something truly weird is going on in your environment.  E.g., spoilers for a movie you were eagerly anticipating and haven't watched yet.
