As I parent I do try to protect my children's mental health. However I do not need any extra layer that will make filtering decisions based on abstract assumptions. Depending on my level of child-confidence, I might or might not allow my kid to use different kinds of software. But it should be my decision, not some CRS system. Because CRS system does not know a thing about my kids. The typical motto of Open Souce Software always was 'to provide possibility rather than policy'. We should not step away from that rule. -- With best wishes Dmitry
