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.

They do on the fly skipping in streaming services. Rather than reselling modified content, they’re skipping time codes.

This must have been their pivot after getting sued. They used to rent filtered movies for $1.

FWIW, my local secondary school here in the US has no issues showing Schindlers List to students in class. But this attitude isn’t something that would extend to a movie with nudity of a sexual or casual nature.

They have no issues about showing that because the primary actor of violence was not their own state. Do they show footage of Guantanamo Bay or Abu-Ghuraib in secondary school? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/AbuGhrai... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Abu-ghra...

Yeah, downvote me but also, please swallow that pill while you are doing that.

> All the images remain hidden until they are found to be NSFW or not The demo screenshot/page seems to only show NSFW images, so the demo doesn't convey how quickly this classifier can operate. The demo page should have some non-NSFW images to show off how quickly SFW images are revealed, since the default is to block all images.

We will change that. Seems like a good idea

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 just installed this, and my whole browser grinds to a halt when I load a page...

That should not happen! Could you tell us about the issue? https://github.com/nsfw-filter/nsfw-filter/issues

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.

IMHO it’s not sex that’s the real problem for teenagers, but rather extreme sexualisation. And that doesn’t require nudity.

Yes, I agree, nudity is not always over sexualized, and I too, recognize the problem is sexualization.

> block Wojack and Pepe memes on 4chan What are you there for, then?

to collect dataset?

Wait, I'm still confused. Why have a nsfw filter for data collection if the subject is partially defined by its nsfw qualities?

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…

Not only kpop, but entire "fandoms" as a whole. When that software finally arrives, I want to be able to refer back to this comment and say I read it here first.

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.

European women also enjoy their own material, including being able to buy toys in supermarkets.

I bet my friends also get some kicks out of the body builders wearing nothing but Tarzan like shorts on our beaches and sunny parks.
