Regardless of their intentions, current state of the art automatic censorship have dangerously bad false positive and false negative rates. So, they inadvertently and inevitably suppress the truth and broadcast misinformation. Their performance on images is similarly bad.

Of course, even if they did work, centralizing control of them is a bad idea. The end user should have the freedom to control such things. (In the same way you can type swear words into a word processor).
