I did not say that the Google filter is perfect. Additionally it could 
have been that Google does not see that image as offensive or did never 
revise it. I was talking about the ease that such tools can be built and 
that there is actually a market for such tools.

If we implement a filter with categories, then we would provide the same 
data source as Google does. But we should keep in mind: The 
better/stricter we are, the better/stricter will be filters from third 
parties. We would invest to provide them the tools and data they need.
