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…

You could use ffmpeg to delete the scenes containing violence/sex, but you'll have to manually find the timestamps yourself.

Now just make a version that whites-out NSFW text in e-books and market it to Utahns as a way to read PG-13 versions of Game of Thrones books and you'll be rich. However, you'll probably also be sued into oblivion by angry authors/publishers who don't like people modifying what they read in any way.

I know that’s tongue in cheek, but I’d really appreciate having a NSFW text filter. Some of my CX team is getting harassed by trolls who send profane messages and racial slurs through the Zendesk Chat interface. Zendesk does not have a way to filter out profanity (for Chat at least; there are options for emails or tickets). I’ve found simple client side extensions that can censor words, but a better approach would us…

Google Jigsaw might have what you are looking for, under the "Harassment" headline [1]. Note however both Google (Alphabet, really) and the tool specifically, were accused of various forms of bias [2] by various sides of discourse.

I've been wanting for something like this ever since we by accident looked at our 9 year old daughter's screen. She likes to draw characters from her favorite cartoon and searches for images on the web. Apparently there's a porn actress with the same name as one of the characters... DDG was set to "strict", so no full nudity or any explicit act, but still very NSFW.

I’ve jokingly / seriously been waiting for things like this. I’m the type to go overboard with filtering and mute lists on twitter, but images are harder to deal with. I did have a 60,000 line pastebin that was used in conjunction with a Chrome extension to block Wojack and Pepe memes on 4chan using md5 hashes, but something not rely on specific hashes is obviously superior. One day someone will release the ‘detect a…

What are you there for, then?

Why would I care about not seeing NSFW images? What I really do care about is not seeing worthless clickbait. That makes me endlessly angry. Could you build a filter like that on top of this?

Uh, because I'm at work and wouldn't mind an additional layer of protection.

Because I live stream and people try to trick me into viewing NSFW content on stream.

Is this really a question?

DDG is kind of fascinating. Ever since I switched to DDG as my main search engine, I feel like the internet is 90% porn. Although that's probably not far off, I'd prefer seeing relevant search results instead.

Far from that bad IMHO, but it has a weird tendency to surface NSFW results, yes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'm fairly sure quite a few European women would be happy about an optional NSFW filter for their social media DMs.

Hey, Long here, I meant to keep this private for a while, but I’m building this thing. getpuritan dot com for now. My prototype is a chrome extension that blocks clickbait using a ML model that placed top 3 in a clickbait prediction competition, but it’s really rough. My email is longintuition at protonmail if you’d like to help me test—can also send a video so you can see how it works
