I'm in favour of the filter (my argument being "I'm not super-excited
about having it, but I'm even less keen on parents telling their
children they can't use Wikipedia") but I do worry about the
implementation.

I'm not looking forward to the possibility that every picture is going
to be surrounded by filter-cruft. I don't really want pictures of
planets, plants, fonts, colours and anything else that's universally
inoffensive being accompanied with buttons. I hope there's a more
elegant solution but if we're giving the user control of their filter
then I wonder how this can be avoided.
