If they can identify individual human faces through algorithms, they (= technology companies with deep pockets) can surely recognize most porn pictures, given the right incentive (regulation.)

- etatoby 8y agoIf you haven't been following the deep learning trend, a "Cat vs. Dog" picture classifier, or variations of such, are now taught in introductory AI classes. Applying the techniques taught in the courses, you can easily reach 99% accuracy yourself, on your own run-of-the-mill hardware. If you extrapolate that to Google / Microsoft's resources, it's a clear yes.

I think the problem is more a social one. Is Google going to comply with a single country's law when it requires quite an elaborate technological solution? The UK is not at the scale of China, and I suspect such companies will generally ignore the law (it's common in the UK to have laws which are broadly ignored, they're on the books for selective enforcement at a convenient time) or block the UK entirely.
