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.
