DoJ Following Porn Blocker Advances? 265
GreedyCapitalist writes "A new filter called iShield is able to recognize porn images based on the content of the image (other filters look at URLs and text) and according to PC Magazine, it is very effective. The next generation will probably be even better -- which highlights the retarding effect regulation has on technological progress - if we relied solely on government to ban 'inappropriate' content from the web, we'd never know what solutions the market might come up with. Will the DOJ (which argues that porn filters don't work) take note of filtering innovation or continue its quest for censorship?"

"Yeah, sure bob, you can run the 'barely legal college girls' tests. Janet and Simone, you check the 'hot lesbian' batches. What? Sure Ramone, you can check the 'young gay studs' test. Now, who is going to run the 'goatse.cx' tests?"

I would buy this software if it could filter me from seeing that ever again.(I jest, but only slightly)

Or you could train your mind, as I have. My occiputal lobe no longer processes Goatse as it "should", and substitutes a fuzzy blur in its lieu. I literally cannot see it!
Unfortunately, this is not without side effects. For instance, it's no longer safe for me to drive through tunnels.
