Is there a Cosmic Censor?

So gravity can focus light so powerfully that it can spontaneously end the existence of observers, destroy the definition of the spacetime itself, or spoil the unique time evolution in a spacetime based on a sensible set of initial data? What is to protect us then from the pathological possibilities of strong gravitation fields?
The Cosmic Censorship Conjecture proposes that in the context of the theory of general relativity, in a spacetime where the total energy density is positive, pathologies such as spacetime singularities and breakdowns in causality and predictability are always hidden behind the event horizons of black holes.

What happens to the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture when absolutely nothing exists, causing a balance in the total energy density?
