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?

Yes exactly. And, ironically, many of these solutions can make you less safe; at one of my former employers we had something like this, but the problem is that since you're getting a cert from the MITM server, you're not able to inspect the cert from the real server, and at least in the case of the Cisco product we were using, the MITM server wouldn't bother to inspect it either; expired certs, certs with the wrong CN, self signed cert, didn't matter - the MITM server would ignore the problem and happily replace the cert with a valid one signed by the company CA.

Most of religions forbid people to be naked / see other people naked? Please, list some of them, as I'm having a hard time finding which ones do this.

The Catholic Church insists on modesty, for example. You won't find an outright ban on nudity, because what is considered modest can change depending on culture. However, if you are trying to remain chaste by avoiding pre-marital sex & masturbation, it is not difficult to see how sexually explicit images make that difficult. In fact, pornography is specifically singled out as a crime against chastity. > 2523 There is…

You are conflating nudity and porn when they are two different things, and as far as nudity is concerned, focusing only on whether it is okay according to Christianity to be naked, rather than the other question more relevant to this story, which is whether it is okay according to Christianity to see someone else (who may or may not be Christian themself) be naked.

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?

If people want to use it then there is a need. You can't just tell people to stop having sensibilities

I happen to not be afraid of boobs, so ever since my days on Reddit I wish for blocking of random gore instead. This is weirdly pertinent sometimes on DDG's image search. Edit: to clarify, I'm not afraid of some killing either, thanks to the pop culture of the past seventy years or so. Now, why eye-hurting images of bodily damage pop up on rather innocent searches—that's a haunting mystery. On Reddit, the ‘NSFW’ labe…

For some reason in America half a butt cheek is worthy of a 15+ rating in films, but “general release” films are fine with burnt bodies hanging from trees

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?

I take a shower in the morning, nude. I go to the beach, there is nude people. I go to the gym and after taking a shower, nude people. I look at Instagram/Facebook/Any social media, there will be almost nude people, same with ads all over the place. Sometimes I sleep naked too. If you have a family, there is plenty of nudity and can happen at any point. Anyone who raised a child will give you an idea of how much nudity there really is in life.

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.…

> Expansion: how are nude scenes not family friendly? The answer is "American Prudery".

No, not really. Most people don't want to watch graphic sex scenes with their parents. It's not a "muh America" issue.

America doesn't have a '15+' rating, lots of 'PG' movies have butts in them, and what 'G' rated movie has burnt corpses hanging from trees??

Why not both? You could also argue that repeatedly seeing the most beautiful actors in the business nude, can hurt a teenager self image pretty badly, or that learning about sex from movies is probably not the best idea.

That's like saying you are always nude under your clothes so nudity isn't a problem. Nudity in movies is like softcore porn and they often come with bed scenes. Of course if your family is just you and your wife it's fine but I don't think any sane person would consider that ok for kids.
