> This. With all of this AI/image recognition stuff, it'd be relatively easy to allow people to maintain a list of filters and when someone posts nudity, profanity, etc., just obscure it in their feed and present a "this is something you asked us to filter out <keyword>, proceed with caution" or just hide it entirely. Put the individual in control, and force them to create a list (if they wish) on next app open with a timestamp of if/when they declined to set something.
Or even without AI tools. All this stuff is a complete non-issue on my extended-friend-group WhatsApps and my family text message threads. It was never a problem when I ran a private forum for people I knew, years and years ago. Mixing private communication with people you know with a global broadcast system seems to be what causes the problem to exist in the first place. Ordinary actual-humans-you-know communication channels don't need some 3rd-party censor, and for the most part don't even call for end-user-tunable censorship tools, beyond being able to leave & form groups or maybe set images to click/tap-to-view or something. Nothing sophisticated, certainly.
