It amuses me that people who claim to be supporting 'choice' are exerting so much pressure to stop people from using this app.
And some people think that the appropriate way to handle kid's reading material is to read everything before the kid gets to it?
Aside from being fundamentally impossible, how do you think kids react to parents who taking their library books before letting the kid have them? It just teaches kids to hide from and distrust their parents....that's a horrible idea and not something any good parent would do. This app is much better than that.
It's also a great idea for adult readers who don't like cursing. Yes, it's just words, but they're specific words (mis)used in specific ways to try and shock emotional reactions out of readers. And they're in so many books now. It's really irritating to pick up something else that looked good, just to discover that it's full of cursing. I've been looking for something to quickly check or filter books for a long time.
