Photoshop and the likes (modern day's pens) should have an automatic check that you are not drawing porn, censor the image and report you to the authorities if it thinks it involves minors.
edit: yes it is sarcasm, though I fear somebody will think it is in fact the right way to go.
That's ridiculous. What about real pens and paintbrushes? Should they be mandated to have a camera that analyses everything you draw/write just to be "safe"?
Maybe we should make it illegal to draw or write anything without submitting it to the state for "safety" analysis.
Text editors and the likes (modern day's typewriters) should have an automatic check that you are not criticizing the government, censor the text and report you to the authorities if it thinks it an alternate political party.
Hopefully you are going to be absolutely shocked by the prospect of the above sentence. But as you can see, surveillance is a slippery slope. "Safety" is a very dangerous word because everybody wants to be "safe" but no one is really ready to define what "safe" actually means. The moment we start baking cultural / political / environmental preferences and biases in the tools we use to produce content, we allow other group of people with different views to use those "safeguards" to harm us or influence us in ways we might not necessarily like.
The safest notebook I can find is indeed a simple pen and paper because it does not know or care what is being written, it just does it's best regardless of how amazing or horrible the content is.
