Twitter is text based. Video games have had text based profanity filters for online games for years.
Make it easy for users to define a regex list saved locally. On the backend train a model that filters images of gore and genitals. Aim users who opt in to that experience at that filtered stream.
This problem does not require a long winded thesis.
- crummy 4y agowhy do you think nobody else has tried this / had any success with this approach?
- gryBrd1987 4y agoBecause we focus on abstract problem statements, coded appeals to authority (as if ex-Reddit CEO is that special; there are a few), rather than concrete engineering? User demand to control what they see is there. It’s why TV was successful; don’t like what’s on History? Check out Animal Planet. Tech CEOs need their genius validated and refuse to concede anyone else knows what’s best for themselves. What everyone else sees is a problem for a smurt CEO to micromanage to death, of course.
- rco8786 4y agoYou’re minimizing the entire idea of content moderation to a profanity filter and boobs. Kind of missing the broader picture here.
