[Foundation-l] Controversial content software status - the image filter disguised under a new label

[Tobias Oelgarte]

Even if it is only one click it is still the same as appending a dislike 
button to it (if no all or nothing option). At least it shows, that we 
think, that it is something disturbing. At this point it has nothing to 
do with curating content, it's a mere tool to represent POV.
