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...

Homeland security here we come...
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...
