I don't want moderation OR censorship. I want proper labeling so that I can self-filter out things that I don't want to see. Just like the labels on cans of food tells you exactly what ingredients are found within the can so you can skip the ones with peanuts, gluten, or some other substance you don't want; I want labels (and levels) on data.

If I don't want to see profanity, I should be able to set my filter to exclude profane comments. If I don't want to see nudity, I can set that filter too. Just like movies get a certain rating (G, PG, R, etc.), we should be able to properly label data.

Who is going to set the labels, and how will they do it in real-time?

I would settle for some simple categories like 'Profanity', 'Sex', 'Nudity', and 'Violence' with a level 0 to 9 with specific criteria for each level (zero meaning none, 9 = full of it). Let each content author 'self-report' initially but let others up or down vote if the author 'mis-labels' something.
