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.…

Lots of nudity in film is of a sexual nature. Uncontrolled exposure to fictional depictions of sex could create unhealthy understanding of sex in children that parents want to avoid. Hence not family friendly. I'm not saying most in film violence is either, but that's the reason.

One film I think of in this regard is Schindler's List. I've seen both the original and the TV edit that Spielberg made to broadcast for teenagers to see. The primary edits I noticed were sex scenes and post-sex nudity. Those scenes weren't gratuitous(they showed something about the characters) or anything, but were edited(either cut or blacked out part of the frame). BUT there was still lots of nudity in the edited film. This was nudity of a different nature. People forced to strip down and paraded in the open for inspection.

Sometimes parents just want to take the easy path and consider all nudity as out of bounds for their kids. I think that's fine.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

No, I didn't conflate anything. My post specifically covered that pornography is banned, while nudity may be permissible if it does not offend modesty.

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 don't think it's irrelevant. Having a NSFW pop up in the middle of a meeting and your access logged is much worse than just your access being logged.

Are there tools to visualise trained model,?

Something like this: https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard

Something to visualise the models, the one in this link

My kid would just turn off the extension and keep his business going... :'(

When I was a kid I probably would have trained this but in reverse so that I only see NSFW images.

Sigh... forks repo

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?

Yes, tensorflow model can run on JS. I did that when developing a Deep Learning product, PredictSalary (https://predictsalary.com). The problem is not the model, but the TensorflowJS library (using Node) is big (8MB) after webpack-ing it (even after using compressing flag).

So I decided to move the inference to the server.

It's fast but I didn't toy with GPU setting when running Tensorflow model on JS.

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…

I have never understood how acts of love (at best) or reproduction (at the least) are considered in some societies to be dangerous, shocking, and in need of the strictest censorship -- or at the very least, not on prime-time TV. Yet acts of war, killing, maiming, and violence in general are often the mainstay of entertainment.

Sex is part of human nature – and, I would argue, a much bigger and better part of it than violence and aggression. Why do we hide from it?

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 nudi…

That's not everywhere, it's two examples. Beaches and communal showers.

"Almost nude" simply means not nude, and personal, private nudity is obviously different from seeing other people nude.

Even if someone doesn't mind seeing naked people in the situations you describe, it still doesn't follow they should therefore be okay with nudity on screen in front of their family.

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…

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.
