That’s the first thing I thought as well - as long as Wikipedia remains open and public and free there’s a degree of transparency and accountability there -

But if you download your own separate offline version, it can be whataver you want it to be, and that will be all your users get - whether your goal is to ensure access to the ‘right’ parts, or to disappear the ‘wrong’ parts. You could even start out with the former objective, but end up with the latter situation, depending on how things go.

That isn’t quite the same situation with the definitive version of Wikipedia live on the World Wide Web.
