That's exactly what the algorithm is trying to do that forces people to say silly things like "unalive" or "PDF file" to avoid its wrath. The problem is, one persons "harmful content" is another persons innocent book review, or even just a reading of the daily news.

That sort of algorithmic nonsense shouldn't be mandated by you and your opinions of harmful content or anyone else. Should be optional. Let me have a straight chronological feed, but let me set via parental controls something much stricter for my kids. For example.
