That won't work, for several reasons. First, the proposal as made in the
referendum talks about 5 to 10 categories. Thus, after 10 people have
created their labels, there are none left. Second, even if they create
labels, there needs to be someone to do the labelling - asking someone who
doesn't want to see certain pictures to select all such pictures himself by
hand doesn't seem to be a very effective way of working if he really does
not want to see the pictures.
