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.

I'm curious how workplaces do this. Does they have a root cert installed so they can MITM SSL traffic?

You could still run your own layer of encryption through that pipe though.

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.…

That's starting from the assumption you are doing this to engineer your children ands psychology.

Actually I think a lot of people find it awkward to watch graphic sex scenes and extended nudity with their family. As a grown up, the I feel awkward watching parts of game of thrones with my parents.

That's a shame because I would like to watch this show with them. Lately a lot of major TV shows seem to aim to include one nude scene per episode - I guess the money people think that's what sells...

I can understand why some people might find violence equally difficult, but where it features it tends to be much more tied to the plot.

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.

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.

Nudity isn't "everywhere in life", so what is the point of this, since it's not to start a flame war?

Presumably that is against policy and would get you fired?

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…

Is there a need? I feel like if you are old enough to watch a movie for adults, you are more than old enough to know about sex. But anyway, when was the last time you saw an erect penis in a movie you wanted to watch in a family setting?

Religions or cultures don't forbid this in general, but some do for purposes outside of procreation. It's really not "everywhere in life" for most people.

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.

You can also simply not worry about NSFW images. If you don't like them, scroll more or close the webpage.

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

I'm curious: how would you boss react to such an image appearing on your monitor? Is this considered "OK" in a European workplace?

Every place I ever worked did exactly this. They use a protocol called WCCP which is essentially source routing, so if you're going to the internet on certain ports it routes you to a proxy server instead of whichever router it normally would.

Most companies big enough to do this already have their own internal CA installed on all the machines, for internal sites, so they use that same CA to sign the mitm cert. With so many sites using HSTS it can be annoying if you access a site while off the network.

As far as them knowing the content of a particular image they would need to have some kind of machine learning like this extension.
