As a non Muslim in a

You didn't read it well or I didn't explain it well. I should be just
default, like Google image search.
You would be able to override it by:
* logging into your account; or
* by simply clicking somewhere that you don't want to be censored.
The only level of censorship which should be imposed on cultural basis
is "default censorship". That means that just defaults should be in
accordance to the majority's taboos. However, everyone should be able
to switch from censored version to not censored version.
Apologies, due to email saturation I quite missed "In all cases there has
to
be possibility to
overrule such censorship by simple click or by preferences."
That said, the idea of the majority voting for a region doesn't sit well
with me. Muslims account for approximately 6% of the population in France
and it's a lose-lose situation: either the minority manages to prevail
(unlikely) and hence the majority would be subject to a minority POV or the
majority prevails (likely given Wikidemographics) and the minority is
suppressed.
If censorship were only implemented at the user's request (opt-in) then I
would have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.
