Interesting option, Kim, but doesn't eliminate a few of the major issues:
- there is still a filter of some sort in place to determine the need
for the 'click-through' message
- as a result, there would still be performance slow down
- there is still a 'big brother' nanny determining what deserves the
'label' of 'inappropriate'
- resulting in adults potentially going on 'suspect' lists if they
click through, and potentially could have to prove 'innocence' over
something that wasn't even them doing the clicking [the old bit about
'who was driving the car when you went through that red light'
There may be more.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
