There is a company that was trying to work in this space called VidAngel. https://www.vidangel.com/ I used to use them quite a lot and then they got sued by everyone and now I’m not sure what they are up too. It’s unclear if a company has the right to offer others content in a modified form - ie filtering out unacceptable content.

My favorite thing is that they had a JarJar filter for the Star Wars prequels.

They do on the fly skipping in streaming services. Rather than reselling modified content, they’re skipping time codes.
This must have been their pivot after getting sued. They used to rent filtered movies for $1.
Yeah, VidAngel is pretty much non-usable now because of the lawsuit(s)
