What would be the best way to moderate user generated video content / live streams? Take one frame per second and check it using these services? But that would get super expensive real quick ..

Pretty sure parent comment was specifically referring to violence as I don't recall explicit nudity in Star Trek movies (just suggested nudity).
There was a completely gratuitous fanservice scene with Alice Eve in Into Dullness.
No- nudity
Great write up. As a photographer, the more companies are relying on this the more frustrating the mis classification of SFW as NSFW is getting. I’ve copped a few Facebook bans from automated detection (I assume given how quickly the report comes in) for images totally within their community guidelines. A number of my photographer friends are in the same boat also. I counted at least 5 of us on 30 day bans in October…
I had a friend pick up a presumably automated ban from Facebook this month for posting a picture of a soldier from a WWII re-enactment he went to. No gore, no nudity, just a half body shot of a German soldier in uniform standing in the camp, smiling at the camera. No idea what triggered it, but it is scary.
"No idea what triggered it..."
Really? I don't agree with it, but it is almost certainly just "hey that's a nazi!"
The blog had a ton of errors I couldn't fix since medium's edit feature is down for me. I posted the blog here again with fixes https://www.adityaananthram.com/comparison-of-the-best-nsfw-...

Hadn't seen that. Predictably, also being sued by multiple entities: http://blog.vidangel.com/category/legal/
My 14 yo would be very happy to select those versions.
A very interesting and related thing are images generated using the Yahoo NSFW classification neural network. It's fairly NSFW: https://open_nsfw.gitlab.io
This is brilliant, especially the cross-categorised images. I had thought these were talking about 'pornography', but this makes it clear that a very large amount of its training set must consist of dick pics.
Check out the "links to original images" sections as they are incorrect ~50% of the time. The name above the blurred image does not correspond to the link name.
Also be careful with opening many of these images, as they open in Google Drive. Which will display all images viewed on this blog the next time you open it.

Tried to view a subset, because as this comment pointed out, NSFW is subjective: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18526170
And if NSFW is subjective, the most offendable person gets to dictate what is NSFW (as we are already seeing happening in other areas).

I'm not so sure about that - I see a lot of labia here.
That is to say, certain features that in their SFW form already look vaguely like a penis seem to be depicted as a penis (the statues, volcano, etc), whereas other features like the beaches were depicted as vulvas. And the slight red tinge present in some of the canyon/beach images also elicited the vulva, even if the shape of the surface wasn't something "obvious".
Man, ironically this stuff to me is true abstract art. To use a somewhat trite cliche, the [extremely subtle] erotic nature of these environments that are clearly not actually genitalia gives insight into how the human mind works just as well as it does into (convolutional?) neural networks themselves
This is very cool comparison. I would really like folks at Netflix/Amazon to take this and build a feature that auto-skips through non-PG rated content so you can watch some of otherwise very great movie/TV content with very young kids. For example, StarTrek. They can call this feature "PGify" :).
Better yet you could wait until the kids are mature enough, watch the content, and then discuss it with them.
How about when the extra scenes are literally useless to the point of the content and are just "wedged in" as fanservice to increase viewership, in a way where the content is better off without them? This describes nearly every sex scene in a Hollywood movie that I can remember.
Though also, separately: I'm an adult, but I'm imagining going home for the holidays to my parents, sitting around at night, picking some movie to watch on Netflix, and it ends up having a sex scene in it. I don't want that to happen! It's not a matter of maturity—I just don't want to share the experience of watching a sex scene with my parents. I'd rather be able to tell Netflix/the streaming box/the TV, to skip those scenes.

Facebook uses human filters since their policy is not a simple "no nudity" one. For example, breastfeeding pictures are allowed. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/post-no-evil
