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…

I would like this as well. Though most commenters seem skeptical, I think it's rather nice to not be seeing nudity (and sexuality more broadly) online. It feels pretty unhealthy to me, and I would be surprised if I was the only one...

I want this but for ads.

Adblock extensions already exist, like uBlock origin

Yes, but do they treat the content as an image? Or do they merely hope that the content is identifiable as an ad through other means?

From experience 99.9% of the time unless I visit a porn site purposely or some warez site by accident, or questionable reddit channels, I see no NSFW. However I do see some benefits if this was for kids.

A few years ago I was at work and was looking up something and the page I landed on had ads that featured a barely dressed lady in them. The funny thing is that I didn’t even notice the ad until one of my coworkers, who was passing by my desk stopped, chuckled and asked me if I was looking at ladies on the computer during working hours lol.

I guess I had developed a kind of builtin ad filter into my brain, from ignoring so many ads over the years.

Thankfully, my place of work had reasonable people working there. But I think if I worked somewhere more strict even that one ad might have prompted a conversation with HR. Nonetheless, I promptly installed an ad-blocker on the browser in case any ads would be shown in the future that would have been more explicit than the one that had been showing this time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why not? I’d definitely be more ok with a soft core scene than some brutal violence. Sex is normal/good part of life. One should educate kids about sex (and when it is appropriate) rather than pretend it literally doesn’t exist.

I would say keep kids away from both. Sex isn't something that needs to be taught, your kids will figure it out when they are ready and old enough.

Yes and no. Teens/young adults will have sex whether you accepts it or not. However, how they do it and how they feel about it definitely depends on education.

1. Sex safety ed needs to be taught, otherwise you get STDs and pregnancies. A couple of hour lecture in school is not enough. Safe sex practices is something that has to be reinforced and encouraged.

2. Respect of consent (and situations where consent cannot happen no matter what either party says) and understanding how to properly express yourself to the opposite sex is extremely important. Our society is full of people who do not treat the opposite gender fairly and do not understand the importance of enthusiastic consent in intimacy.

3. Normalizing sex positive attitude. Many people feel shame from sex/shame others for sexual behavior/repress their own natural desires/etc, this needs to be counterbalanced, especially in a puritanically perverted society like the US.

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?

This (free) product is not something I need, so let me quickly make everyone aware of that. Also here is something else I would rather have that actually would demand a very different kind of effort.

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.

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.

yeah, I think that is because Bing provides (some/a lot/all?) of their image results and Bing seems to have tried to maximize their porn results.

Both of those ideas are heresay/rumor.

Has anyone confirmed it isnt tagging non-pornographic images? Breastfeeding, breast exam tutorials, sand dunes, etc

Has anyone tested to see if it correctly handles PoC? That demo site it points to almost exclusively light skinned folk.

These are the basic things I’d want confirmation of.

I expressed some interest at some point of hiding profiles which contained a certain phrase in their bio and got downvoted. Does anyone know of any extentions that can do this?

I would use this for sure. Certain phrases are great flags for me to know "I won't be interested in anything this person has to say."

Do you think the issue with hyperpartisanism is that people’s existing bubbles and filters just aren’t strong enough?

I want the same for ‘emotional hooks by PR’. It works so well on the internet that we get flooded with it.
