Ask HN: Porn Filter API! (Photo Moderation)

7 pointsby hyungalmost 14 years ago
Would you be interested in an API/web service that tells you which of your submitted photos are safe for a general audience?<p>It would be useful for social networks, dating sites, forums, or any site that allows users to post images. The service would also handle videos and text (such as spam).<p>I have a system that already works well for several major sites, and was wondering if there is a larger market out there.<p>* Photos are reviewed manually, and we have two levels of review.<p>* The response time is not instantaneous, but under 10-30 seconds.<p>* Error rates are generally very low (&#60;0.01%).<p>Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

nude.js (<a href="http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/nudejs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/nudejs/</a>) is a Javascript library that detects nudity in images.<p>I can't attest to its effectiveness but it maybe what you're looking for.

I think this would very useful, but for the reverse reason. I believe there could be a lot of value in filtering out <i>non</i> nude photos. Realize the number of photo sharing sites that are available, being able to filter many of them and pull out nude photos could be very useful for those working on porn site companies.

We would be interested. We run <a href="http://picturepush.com" rel="nofollow">http://picturepush.com</a> and adult material is forbidden, but there is a lot of it added anyway (of course). A service for fixing that would be great.<p>I would expect, by now, someone would have made something automated for that kind of thing though...

Amazon Mechanical Turk and CrowdFlower (using MTurk) support that already.

I'm fairly sure there are a few existing services like this out there, have you looked at those?
