My Opinion:
Censuring is dangerous and legally challenging. You either do it all
and take responsibility for all your decisions or you do nothing and
say you are not in control.
Censuring under control of someone else basically means you can be
blamed for results you don't have under your control. This sounds like
a ticking time bomb.
Just as an example: UK Government has confiscated assets from
Icelandic banks (to protect the investment UK people have done in
Icelandic savings funds which went belly up) by using the AntiTerror
law as the ground of the claim! What if one day, they decide to block www.ubs.com
because too many UK customers use it for money laundry as example?
It could be totally legal from a UK perspective and totally illegal
from a swiss perspective and would have a severe effect for your
customers.
You're playing with fire here...

infamous for being extremely conservative in all "moral" issues, and
just loves to watch over its citicens with a mentality that would just
create a public outcry if the government tried to do that over here,
see full-scale cctv-covering of major cities). Homeland security here

Also, attracting external traffic to an internal server will require
some ugly hacks to actually then pass the traffic on to the real site,
probably involving some odd tunneling to one of the gateways
(resiliance?), reducing MTU and increasing latency. I am not
thrilled...
