Looking at the timing of the phrase appeared in the email list I think
you were physically present when the phrase stated being used in the
context of dealing controversial content. Certainly I can find it
being used in that context before that London meetup that Dory
Carr-Harris attended. And in that case at least the meaning was very
much in the direction of not including controversial content unless
there was a valid reason to do so. It was unrelated to an image
filter.

Shocking images in [[Nanking Massacre]] are pretty much expected.
[[People's Republic of China–Japan relations]] not so much. [[Agent
orange]] is a more boarderline case but these things are never easy as
[[Wikipedia:LAME#Names]] shows.
