LogiPik evaluated this photograph as 'erotic'
LogiPik, a PHP image filter for websites which supposedly uses a number of advanced detection layers to accurately classify a pictures level of appropriateness, thinks this picture of Stephen Conroy is porn. Actually, of the five photographs of Conroy I tried, three were considered porn and the one to the right ‘erotic’. Cheers to Eddie and the guys at Whirlpool for testing it out.
To the media and you may have missed these fine articles on filtering:
– When the f-word is ‘filter’ by Glenn Milne (Courier Mail)
– PG Nation by Matthew Thompson (ABC Unleashed)
– Conroy’s Web by Raena Lea-Shannon (New Matilda)
And in response to Clive Hamilton’s article in Crikey (members only)
– Clive Hamilton doesn’t quite win “Cnut of the Week” by Stilgherrian
– Internet censorship. Nice idea, just not practical (members only) by Colin Jacobs (who definitely doesn’t think it’s a nice idea)
Event wise, limited seats are still available at UNSW’s filtering forum this Thursday. The speaker list has now been confirmed.
Something a little different: Have you spoken to your loved one about filtering? Kieran has – with mixed results.
And who would have guessed Obama would speak about our filtering plans.
I’ll leave you with this though. After a rough week of storms in Brisbane, EFA’s ‘Protect the country’s children from bad weather’ parody from 1999 couldn’t be any more relevant. We need mandatory shields installed in all exposed public areas to prevent bad weather reaching children, and we need them now!
