This is a good question. I would do 2 things.

1) Offer the ability for people to make take-down requests, removing
the specific post from the aggregator.
2) If 1 got too large then just remove the aggregator entirely and
replace it with vetted and curated blog posts driven through the a
dedicated Fedora SIG focused on reviewing the content.
