Exclude posts with a particular taxonomy term from recent posts?

Hello,

Thanks for a great plugin! I use a custom taxonomy called ‘visibility’ on my site to manage post visibility for logged-in and not-logged-in users. When a post has the term ‘loggedin’ associated with it I would like to exclude that post from being listed in the recent posts widget if the user is not logged in. Something like this:

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'jr_cptw_setup_hooks');

function jr_cptw_setup_hooks() {
  add_filter('custom_post_type_widgets/recent_posts/widget_posts_args', 'jr_cptw_loggedin_users_only');
}

/**
 * Hide recent posts with the taxonomy term 'loggedin' from logged-out users.
 */
function jr_cptw_loggedin_users_only($args) {

    if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
        $taxonomy_query = array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'visibility',
                    'terms' => 'loggedin',
                    'field' => 'slug',
                    'operator' => 'NOT IN',
                );

        $args->set('taxonomy_query', $taxonomy_query);
    }

    return $args;
}

Is it at all possible to do this? If so, how would I go about it?

Cheers,
Jen
