I use NextDNS to BLOCK porn sites, etc from my kids’ devices. I hope you aren’t changing your ethos as a company, although I don’t know, maybe your customers are changing and causing you to pivot.

Because I don’t want any chance of this stuff affecting the blocks we use for minors, etc.

Age verification doesn't protect minors, so I doubt their ethos changed.

    Yeah the non-anonymity part of it is troubling.

    In HN comment thread for another post, I had hoped that we could come up with a rating system like we have with Movies, TV, Apps, mediated by HTTP Headers.

    I feel that is all we actually need. Then I can configure a browser a certain way, and the site publisher can just send a header saying "X-Content-Rating: Mature" or something along those lines, and that's it. It would be anonymous and opt-in.

      The RTA header has existed for almost 20 years now, but it's nowhere near universal.

I doubt it will. It fits with what I hope is their ethos, which is to allow customers to decide what they want blocked for themselves and their households.
