If you want to make videos family friendly, it's probably better to aim for removing violence than nudity, as one is clearly worse for the psych than the other. Expansion: how are nude scenes not family friendly? Not trying to start any flame wars here, just trying to understand how one or two scenes with nudity suddenly means the video is not family friendly? We all go through life seeing nudity, so should be fine.…

See also American TV where you can show pretty extreme violence but not swear.

This would be too late in my workplace, as they'd be logged that I downloaded the images. That I didn't see them in my browser would be irrelevant.

Yeah, fixing that would require breaking "The extension runs completely on your browser. i.e No user data is being sent to a server for processing." as image requests would have to be hashed, checked on a server and only allowed depending on the response.

So seems this extension is not really for your use case but for others.

Does the Tensorflow model run in JS? How fast is that? Would it be feasible to run the model in wasm or in the GPU?

I can't speak for this specific model/extension, but "most" neural networks aren't that big at the end of the day, and you are just a few matrix dot products away from getting your classification (of course, I'm drastically simplifying). Its the training that takes forever, due to the fact all those numbers need tweaking. However one you have the model, classifying is pretty fast.

Are there tools to visualise trained model,?

My kid would just turn off the extension and keep his business going... :'(

This is not a parental control software. It's made for you to be able to browse the web without worrying about NSFW images.

Luckily in Europe, that is hardly an issue as most countries are quite alright with their bodies and sexualities.

Surely it's not that hard to understand that for religious, cultural or other reasons some people and/or members of their family may feel uncomfortable seeing nudity.

Anyone know of a tool which can process videos (movies) and black/blur out nude scenes and make the film "family friendly"? The processing doesn't have to be realtime... Just to expand: there are many excellent films which are not "family friendly" only because of 1 or 2 nude scenes which aren't even germane to the overall plot in many cases. I often wished there was a tool or SaaS that could detect such scenes and c…

There is a company that was trying to work in this space called VidAngel. https://www.vidangel.com/ I used to use them quite a lot and then they got sued by everyone and now I’m not sure what they are up too. It’s unclear if a company has the right to offer others content in a modified form - ie filtering out unacceptable content.

My favorite thing is that they had a JarJar filter for the Star Wars prequels.

It doesn't make that viewpoint any less bizarre when our media is filled with people murdering each other on pretty much hourly basis. And it doesn't make a viewpoint that allows killing over depicting our bodies any less worth challenging.

Yeah, as far as I know, no religions or cultures forbid people to be naked or see other naked people. What other reasons are you referring to here?

It is indeed hard for me to understand how someone can feel uncomfortable seeing nudity, as it's everywhere in life and always has been.

Gore-filled cartoons censoring/hiding the female nipple always gets me.
