As I've said elsewhere:

We have a model for this already, it's called "safe search"
When you filter without disclosing, you're stealing my agency and creating a situation for near-undetectable abuse.
- joshuamorton 6y agoYou're welcome to find a platform that does that. Perhaps unfortunately for you, I, like most users, prefer the platform to handle it for me, because I don't want to sift through garbage. > We have a model for this already, it's called "safe search" An interesting position, keep in mind that many people consider the act of ordering to be a form of censorship. That is, it is "censorship" if a site is pushed to the second page of the Google search results. You can't opt-out of that.
