Unsolicited nudes detected and deleted by AI
Software that can detect and delete unsolicited penis pictures sent via private messages on Twitter is being developed by researchers in Seattle. The project was started after developer Kelsey Bressler was sent an unsolicited nude photo by a man. She is now helping a friend refine an artificial intelligence system that can detect the unwanted penis pictures and delete them before they are ever seen.
She said social networks could do more to protect users from cyber-flashing. "When you receive a photo unsolicited it feels disrespectful and violating," Ms Bressler told the BBC. "It's the virtual equivalent of flashing someone in the street. You're not giving them a chance to consent, you are forcing the image on them, and that is never OK."
To test and train the artificial intelligence system, Ms Bressler and her team set up a Twitter inbox where men were invited to "send nudes for science". So many volunteered their nude photos that the team has had to close the inbox.

1. User doesn't want to receive nude images
2. User installs nude detection software (app)
3. Software filter, blocks, deletes, censors, or does whatever the user chooses to the texts with nude images

A female prosecutor installs this shit on her phone, and it deletes an important image file for her case because the dumb program thinks it's an "unsolicited nude".
Computer is not magic. You are a moron.

The female prosecutor either wants dic picks or doesn't use her phone to get case images texted to her one by one. Any important dicks will be in PDFs.
