As stated, images are reasonable to blur, because having them in your screen would Not be Safe For Work. Text generally doesn't really make sense to blur, especially an article published by a major news source. If it could be seen in print sitting on a lobby coffee table, it probably doesn't qualify as NSFW.

yup, I agree with all of your points

• I know Fifty Shades was referenced/used in an episode of The Office

so maybe it's fine?🤔? not too sure
