I claim that you are talking total crap. It is not *that* difficult to 
get the
categories of an image and reject based on which categories the image
is in are. There are enough people out there busily categorizing all the
images already that any org that may wish to could block images that
are in disapproved categories.


The problem, and it is a genuine problem, is that the fucking stupid images
leak out across commons in unexpected ways. Lets assuime that an 6th grade
class is asked to write a report on Queen Victoria, and a child serach 
commons
for prince albert:

If you at work you probably do not want to clicking the above link at all.
