Hm. Probably.

Given the difficulty of genuine censorship, it might be better merely to outline the risks (which can be put scarily) and encrypt it (maybe rot-n, so that it takes a little more work to break but is still doable for everyone).

Frankly, actually censoring things just invites the Streisand effect.
