Perhaps a statement about what type of content is appropriate and inappropriate, or, less acutely, a statement about content needing to be "generally accepted as not harmful to children."
With regards to illegality, I think the question of "under what laws" is sticky. Specifically, does this include laws pertaining to copyright? What if a rogue site in an oppressive nation is able to copy content from a nation with a freer press and redistribute it? Doing so would be illegal under the laws of both countries, yet it would also be a public good.

Very good point. Yet, I would point out that the emphasis of this indicator on must have policies (...) and mechanisms not on whether certain content is illegal on some jurisdictions or defining appropriateness of content.
If those policies and mechanisms are embedded in the public good, then it satisfies the standard, and is left to the implementor to make their own decisions on what is inappropriate/illegal and make use of those policies and mechanisms. As discussed in #1, then it becomes an issue of "policing" implementation of digital public goods, which falls out of the scope of the standard.

@sgoggins Thanks for your comment. We've waited a reasonable time, but since your comment is not directly actionable, and it is on a different scope of the proposed changes here, I am merging this PR. If you feel your comment is not being addressed properly, I invite you to open a different PR suggesting changes to the actual text. Thanks again.
