That's because, ideologically, it would be abhorrent to a very large
segment (possibly even the majority) of editors, staff and readers.

And because it would set a /horrible/ precedent that other governments
who currently feel obligated to tolerate unfettered access to our
projects would be quick to demand.

The idea of playing along with censors doesn't just not fly, it's a
non-starter.
