You could make that more complicated where moderators tag the content and then you apply filters based on what children are allowed to view in a jurisdiction, or you could be conservative in only allowing non-controversial stuff for kids to avoid that.
Obviously different jurisdictions are increasingly disagreeing with it being a non-problem.
I regret to inform you that there's a bug in your code.
Specifically, it relies on the "moderatorApprovedForChildren" flag, which is sometimes sent incorrectly because of glitches in the system that sets that flag. Apparently the number of such glitches increases sharply with the number possible values of "j", but is significant even with only one value.
Also, flag-setting behavior is probabilisitic in edge cases, with a surprisingly broad distribution.
You are therefore not meeting your "zero porn" spec, while at the same time blocking a nonzero amount of non-porn.
Don't bother to fix the bug, though; given the very large cost of the flag-setting system, the company has gone out of business and cancelled your project.
> Obviously different jurisdictions are increasingly disagreeing with it being a non-problem.
Different jurisdictions are doing a lot of stupid things. You get that in a moral panic. Doesn't make them less stupid.
Weirdly enough, other companies manage to not accidentally sell/give porn to kids just fine. I see no issue with holding large media companies like TikTok, Meta, Google, etc. to account just like we would if someone put hardcore porn on the Disney channel. This is only a problem when you want to be a massive company that operates in every market while not taking any responsibility for what you do/not hiring the necessary staff to manage it.
Similarly, if your alcohol/weed store sells to children and you get caught, you can be criminally prosecuted. This is well-trodden ground. Companies worth trillions can be expected to do what everyone else manages to do.
Same deal with malicious ads. These companies absolutely have the resources to check who they're doing business with. They choose not to.
Banks also don't get to just not bother with reconciling accounts because it's hard to check if the numbers add up, and yeah bugs can result in government action.
> Researchers found TikTok suggested sexualised and explicit search terms to seven test accounts that were created on clean phones with no search history.
I hate to direct traffic to people like that, but, you know, how about their actual "study"? I realize that the "journalists" at the Guardian aren't willing to provide the actual source link, but it's not hard to find.
Their methodology involves searching for suggested terms. They find the most outrage-inducing or outrage-adjacent terms offered to them at each step, and then iterate. They thereby discover, and search for, obfuscated terms being used by "the community" to describe the content they are desperately seeking.
They also find a lot of bullshit like the names of non-porn TV shows that they're too out of touch to recognize and too lazy to look up, and use those names to gin up more outrage, but that's a different matter.
This is, of course, all in the service of whipping up a moral panic over something that doesn't fucking matter to begin with.
Thank you for linking the source material, unfortunately it badly contradicts you. It clearly shows that the _very first_ list of ten suggested search terms contained (pretty heavily) sexualised suggestions.
I suppose some of that stuff could reasonably be called "sexualized". Pornographic? No. A problem? Not unless you have really weird hangups.
Here's a unified list of all the "very first list" suggestions they say they got. I took these from their appendix, alphabetized them, and coalesced duplicates. Readers can make their own decisions about whether these justify hauling out the fainting couch.
