To clarify my position here, I take offense at an organization, such as the MPAA, deciding what society should consider violent, sexual, etc. This is a form of censorship. If you don't think so you should read up on the continuing debate around our movie rating systems. Many people blindly follow the guidance of the censor to the detriment of a freethinking society.
Regarding "freedom" as used in the context of this project. Yes, in some scenarios I may have the freedom not to use this filter but it could easily be abused. I can see this system being used to censor films in schools or at public events where the viewers don't have a choice. Furthermore, the artists creating movies are not provided the freedom to opt out of this labeling system. It is applied potentially against their will.
