I think, for this article, the definition of porn used is "depiction of naked people". This works well with all of the detection algorithms, but more importantly, it works with the stated problem: naked people are the things Papa is upset about when Junior finds them on Google accidentally.
- Rod 18y agoThen the author is misusing the word "pornography". Etymologically speaking, pornography denotes the "depiction of prostitutes" or something like that. Thus, claiming that the Lena image is porn is implicitly insulting Lena. The author picking Lena as an example was distasteful. Of course, we could go on forever discussing what the word "porn" means these days, but I guess that's beyond the point...
- derefr 18y agoYou're being a prescriptivist: "Pornography" (and any other word) means whatever we mutually understand it to mean in the aid of communication. The article is correct in that Google's "obscene content filter" would, in fact, filter out the full Playboy image of Lena.
