Porn detection still has its uses and you're making the mistake of saying that only puritans are interested in porn detection.
For example if you've got children, given your stance on the matter, you may not necessarily agree that a filter is necessary, but how about being alerted when your children are viewing obscene content? How about being alerted when your children are engaging in sexting?
When it comes to children, maintaining their purity is only one side of the coin, a necessity with which not all people necessarily agree. But the other side of the coin that's a pretty objective fact is that children do get the wrong ideas about what they see and sometimes it happens with adults too, with porn being the main reason why men think they need big penises to satisfy women. And there's a lot of weird porn out there. With improper exposure, a child can end up growing with certain ideas about doing sex, with certain complexes and so on.
And I'm not necessarily for censoring that content, as children can find ways around the censorship should they want to, plus these filters aren't perfect anyway. But I would find useful a system that alerts me when my child gets exposed to porn, such that I can take appropriate measures, like having fatherly talks about sex, explaining to him that what he just saw is a really bad idea in case he looked at something weird.
Plus, exposure to porn can happen 100% by accident and that's my personal problem with it. I take my monthly dosage for appealing to my stockings fetish, but you know, I like to be in control of when that happens. Like going to a website and clicking on something can trigger a popup involving ads to either poker games or porn. Sometimes they've got sound too. Imagine hearing in the workplace the sound of a woman's moan. It's totally disrespectful to your colleagues, as it disrupts their workflow. I was searching for something on ThePirateBay once and it happened to me.

But I would find useful a system that alerts me when my child gets exposed to porn, such that I can take appropriate measures, like having fatherly talks about sex, explaining to him that what he just saw is a really bad idea in case he looked at something weird. Why wouldn't you have fatherly talks about sex regardless of exposure to porn? Imagine hearing in the workplace the sound of a woman's moan. It's totally disrespectful to your colleagues, as it disrupts their workflow. Playing any sound is disrespectful to your colleagues, by breaking their concentration. The pornographic part is irrelevant.
- bad_user 13y ago> Is it porn that gives them the wrong idea, or is it because porn is the only concept of sex that they get exposed to? My wife works at a kindergarten and she has first hand experience with 4-year olds being exposed to porn and the effects really aren't nice. What do you propose actually? Live demos or experiments under adult supervision? > Why wouldn't you have fatherly talks about sex regardless of exposure to porn? Because there is no proper way to bring up people having sex with horses and dogs into a conversation with a child, let alone that the act of making love doesn't necessarily involve slapping a woman and forcefully shoving your dick inside her mouth, as not all women like that. You either missed my point or you don't have children of your own, but really, I'd love to get your idea of a conversation with a six year old. > Playing any sound is disrespectful to your colleagues, by breaking their concentration. The pornographic part is irrelevant Are you seriously implying that all sounds are created equal, especially given that some people end up behaving like children when hearing sounds related to sex? Do you also fart in elevators? When it's hot outside, do you also come butt-naked at your office? When you get horny, do you make announcements?
- icebraining 13y agoWell, I was certainly not thinking about 4 and 6 year olds; in general, I don't see how would they get exposition to porn, unless they were left unattended in front of a web-connected device, and in that case porn wouldn't be my main concern (as difficult as it sounds, I'd rather explain bestiality than suicide bombings). Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was thinking more about 8-10 year olds, to whom there's plenty of ways to introduce the concept of sex, not only through conversation but also vetted media (e.g. books, films). I don't have kids, no, but was involved in the education of my (much) younger brother, and so in a privileged position to discuss this with him (compared to his parents), and he has grown up knowing about sex way before discovering porn. Are you seriously implying that all sounds are created equal, especially given that some people end up behaving like children when hearing sounds related to sex? I'm implying that a porn filter wouldn't solve the real problem. As for people behaving like children when hearing sounds related to sex, I have to say I don't know any above 20 years old. Do you also fart in elevators? When it's hot outside, do you also come butt-naked at your office? When you get horny, do you make announcements? No. I also try not to make silly comparisons on online discussions.
