I'm most interested in how they handle it for the users. It says potential "nudes" are blurred and can be "reported" or viewed. Will it tell the sender they're sending something that's going to be blurred? (which on one hand would let them resolve a false positive but also maybe let them find an adversarial image).
- XorNot 4y agoThis is an interesting question, because it can be unpleasant to know that the attempt had even happened. I suspect given the option, most people would turn on an option for "block dick pics silently" and leave it on. Similar to how I never actually check my spam folder anymore.
- monktastic1 4y agoReally? I would have guessed most people would want to know who the "toxic" people are in their life so that they can take appropriate action instead of finding out in a worse way later.
- dinosaurdynasty 4y agoI think the idea is "automatically block people who send dick pics" and not "silently remove dick pics but allow other messages from the same person". Considering what Bumble/Tinder are maybe this makes sense?
- joking 4y agotinder doesn't allow to send pics, I think that this is actually the reason they don't.
- monktastic1 4y agoAh, thanks. My parent comment makes way more sense to me in that light.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoBumble is an app for meeting new people, not general-purpose socialization. I’d assume that if it had an auto-block feature for lewd images, it would remove the conversation from the inbox and there would most likely be no further contact.
- andirk 4y agoDick pics folder is the new spam folder? What does this say about society, that we've gotten better or worse?

- paul7986 4y agoWe have been secretly, yet proudly drawing our members on stone walls since the dawn of time. In Centralia, PA there use to be something called Grafitti Highway. It's an old highway road (they created a new road around it) that people would go and graffiti this old, unused highway. It might as been called Penis Highway as innately that's what was mostly drawn there. Too bad they shut it down lol
- mikepurvis 4y agoThen there's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panty_tree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panty_tree (Which I think is still mostly guys doing it, at least historically...)
- ikt 4y agoI'd say 95% of people on this website haven't received one and even Bumble said it's around 0.1% of users which is not comparable to spam levels at all
- nl 4y agoIt doesn't tell the sender. Both dick pics and boob pics are blurred. I'd note that the title here is slightly misleading. It doesn't do anything to check if the pics are solicited or not.
- fasthands9 4y agoMy recollection of Bumble is that all images were blurred (at least until you already sent pictures to each other?) While I imagine having a good filter is important given the scale of online dating I would think all other filters would eliminate most of the problem (auto blurring images if people have only sent a few messages to each other, blur the first image sent, blur images by anyone who has been reported before, etc.)
- nl 4y agoYes there is a length of conversation factor in visibility for normal photos too (I think). But for "adult" photos they just blur. I suspect people like this feature because they want to make sure they don't have people around them when they open that message (assuming it is a consensualy exchanged pic)
