>You have to draw a line somewhere. No naked children or gore seems reasonable.

You, as a user, can try to draw the line by controlling your feed, that's your responsibility. But you agreed to be exposed to other people's content when you joined the site - that's the entire point of it.

We, as a society, have no responsibility at all to "draw a line" anywhere to cater to you, and neither does Facebook (nor should it, in my opinion, except where the law forces it to.) Freedom of expression is a right, but freedom from offense in a public space isn't.

"No naked children or gore" is not at all reasonable, on a site with over a billion users, and a billion different use cases.
