It isn't clear if you are looking to provide your user with some voluntary self-filtering or if your user wants to impose filtering on others. People gave you ideas about the latter. For the former there are various browser plugins that your user can install to self-manage their own filtering. For example Chrome's "Personal Blocklist" extension. Although the emphasis there looks to be default-allow rather than default-deny. Luck, -Brett.
