Minecraft as a whole is entirely unsupervised as of right now. Until the chat reporting feature rolls out, there is not, and has never been, any control by Mojang over the interactions of players on Java servers which, with the sole exception of the small Realms instances, are privately hosted.
And that is the right way for things to be. If I'm taking the cost of hosting the servers, I get to decide who connects and who doesn't. Not Microsoft. If inappropriate behavior was taking place on my server, it would be my responsibility to ban the person or persons responsible. The wonderful thing about that federated nature is that on my Minecraft server, full of grad students with the occasional free weekend, we can discuss things like "grabbing a beer later". Whereas in a more kid-focused server, that might be deemed inappropriate. If the kid-friendly server chooses to ban my friend for that, then that's there prerogative. But he can still hang out on my server. Under centralized Microsoft rule, that message is potentially a bannable offense, not just from my server, but from all servers.
