All of these would be problematic; if these were the default criteria
for a school to enforce on their pupils when using school computers,
one could imagine images of many 18th century paintings or depictions
of gods being excluded due to "nude female breasts" and one would have
to exclude all photographs of ancient Egyptian mummies as they were
all "mutilated" as part of the process for embalming.

Cheers,
