And I'm saying that if we facilitate filtering generally, perhaps by making it easy to put hooks in for independently developed filters, which might be any topic under the sun and moon, then "family filtering" is just one more category. There might be a dozen or more variations just on that single category. If you'd left the rest of my post in the message, that would have been clear, at least to those who don't have a knee-jerk reaction to what they imagine to be censorship.
