I'd say a fairly high percentage of our articles on drugs have something that at least one government will find objectionable, so we'd have to tag pretty much all of them.
This might not be a terrible idea. It should be as easy as possible to provide various views of the encyclopedia which are inoffensive, in turn, to a) governments, b) children, c) the pious, etc. Giving reusers the ability to choose a limited subset of encyclopedia content is not censorship (though one might argue that it makes targeted censorship easier). I can think of a few cases in which I would find it appropriate to remove "a fairly high percentage of our articles on drugs," among other things, from a particular snapshot or CD.
