I think that having this kind of Image Filter is against the mission
of the Wikimedia Foundation and a claudication of the WMF in favor of
interests of others.

Letting some users to block Wikipedia content is NOT a good way to
"disseminate it effectively and globally".

Allowing this type of self censorship is imposing a point of view.

It's a waste of time and resources to support the POV that certain
content should be censored.
Is opening the door to censorship and to give ammunition to enemies of
knowledge and freedom.

The users of Wikimedia projects should see "The Sum of Human
Knowledge" and not just "the knowledge that I like".
