There's a big difference between the two in that the Chinese case was about people wanting to decide what _others_ could see, the filter is about people wanting to decide what _they themselves_ would see.
Okay. Is there a commitment on the part of the foundation that they will help people using our filtering scheme and the usual browser add-ons to Wmake it impossible to view material on wikipedia from schools with a religious orientation, but students of way past any reasonable age of consent get past the filters?
Once you tag something, you lose control over what that tag is used for. We might be talking about primary schools, but we could just as easily be blocked by colleges and high schools, where limiting hormonal damage would be a joke.
