I sorta want to build a porn site with content generated by a proxy to this API while offering the API at a slightly lower price (maybe the same? not sure). The idea being, people agreeing to use my API also agree to give me license to the image, which I then use to power a porn site.

Probably too much work to bring to market.

Considering that Google had to train 10,000 computers to identify cats in pictures, Porn detection is damn near impossible to do. [http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-06/26/google-brain-...]

So i tried this API:

A picture of an african lady with her legs spread wide open.

result: "score": 0, "resultcode": 0, "porn": false

second pic was 2 white couples fornicating: "score": 92, "resultcode": 1, "porn": true

third pic - african lady with breasts exposed: "score": 0, "resultcode": 0, "porn": false

Maybe it only works on light colored people.

I won't even bother with a picture where there may be some fellatio.

I used Face.com's API prior to it being shutdown to try and detect porn by measuring the % area taken up by a persons face. This sounded slightly feasible since a head shot should not be porn? But a close up of a BJ or a facial...

The only solutions for now is to manually moderate or use crowdsourced solution like http://crowdflower.com/rtfm

Side note: There is a free 25 API calls per day option, but you have to enter a credit card. Suck
