How much do these bannings hurt your profitability ? Any way to quantify it ?

If I knew that would probably make me even more sad!

My gut says I would probably at least triple revenue if I could serve Adsense. Which would be enough to pay myself a bad salary while I continue the fight.

The answer to this question determines how much you can afford to either outsource or invest in internal deployment of porn detection. Also, hi Chris!

Hi John! We do not download images so porn detection would be a huge endeavor.

Could you load the images from the urls into memory and try out open source code[0] that detects porn (I'm sure there's probably something better out there, but this was just a quick find on github)?

I'm not sure how helpful it might be (false positives and what not), but it could help give you more numbers to quantify whats going on?

Amazon Mechanical Turk could help with this.
