If you want to make a valid counterargument, say that you are worried that some censorious ISPs and countries might use our category definitions as a starting point for a bolt-on censorship system that restricts access to these images. However, be clear that then it would be *them* who would be hiding our content, not us. The worst you can accuse us of is that we made it easier for them.
That does worry me though.
We'd still be in good company, as all other major websites, including Google, YouTube and Flickr, use equivalent systems, systems that are widely accepted.
I thought youtube had community guidelines where users could report images they found offensive and those were removed from the site - although from these guidelines it is not clear how many users need to complain before something is taken down. 1? 10? 100? 1000?
I can't link the guidelines, they're coming in Korean at Seoul airport, where I am.
So I thought we were actually proposing something quite different from youtube, for instance.
