It's not an argument to state that this cannot be fixed as it can:
Alt 1: Remove concerned packages from the repos
Alt 2: Fix proper filtering before introducing the feature
Amazon et al should provide filtering options for this kind of stuff.
Any filterings like an adult filter should be set on
Given that filtering the kind of content is essentially impossible, and
that you will be able to disable the whole thing from system settings,
I'm closing this as Won't fix.

#21 I disagree!
It's entirely possible for an operating system to include pretty good
parental controls. If you take a look at the ones on Mac, as soon as
they're enabled, *no* web browser can access anything which is
considered to be adult. Is the dash not just a glorified web browser in
this
#22 That's good news then; install the parental controls you mention, and this
issue goes away.
My own personal position on parental controls is that they don't work, are a
bad idea, and worse parenting. But if you want to install them, go ahead.
