Memetic/Information Hazards - the term comes from here. Basically anything that makes you significantly worse off after you know it than before. Giving someone wrong instructions for how to build a bomb wouldn't count for example as I can just never build a bomb or just use other instructions etc.

Warning: Could be dangerous to look into it

Memetic/Information Hazards

They really should be called Medusas -- since it's you looking at them, not them looking at you.

Yup, Medusa is what some blogposts use to describe them.
