I believe you missed the point. It's not to censor content in any way. It is to warn people of content.
It is trite to suggest to me that I might simply avoid reading provocative posts, as the only way to do that with any assurance, now, is to not read any. To leave.
To use a metaphor, if a post rings my bell, it is too late to keep it silent. You can't unring the bell.
