More Porn Filters - That Do Not Work
from the yellowstone-as-porn dept
Okay, following on Dennis' discovery that NASA is helping to block porn is Wired's review of a similar product that claims to stop porn intelligently by looking at the picture. Wired found that it didn't work - at all. In fact, it seems to randomly block most any picture. Of the ones it doesn't block about half are porn and half are not. Hell, I could create a product like that. Anyone want the Techdirt Porn Filter?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
