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.
