A neutral all-or-nothing image filter would not have such side effects (and would also neatly help low bandwidth usage).
It would also make the project useless. I don't want to see the 0.01% (yes, rhetorical statistics again) images of medical procedures, and I'd avoid seeing the (much higher) X% of images that are NSFW while in public. That does not mean that I want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and not see any images whatsoever.
Given the choice, I would not use such a filter.
We have the technology and the capacity to allow users to make nuanced decisions about what they do and don't want to see. Why is this a problem?
