Smart System to Detect Adult Content and Child Pornography on Web

Adult contents on the internet is very common today but it has become a serious concern now because of many reasons such as the proliferation of free to view adult websites has made it easier for individuals of any age to gain access to explicit content. Children increasingly use mobile devices such as smartphones to access the internet and these adult content can have bad impact on their mind. Excessive exposure to these contents can lead to addiction which can have very adverse effect on their mind and their heath.so i came up with an idea to reduce this activity on internet saving people and childrens in particular. In this paper we will discuss a pipeline of a system developed which consists of three modules. The first one is scanning the heading and subheading of the web page to identify if the page is toxic or not. For this task we have used the SOTA model. The second module finds if the page contains a video and identifies it as adult video or not through video caption. we have used LSTM[1] network for this classification task and the last module is CV module which is the most important part of the project. It is an age detection module which detects the age of the people inside the video. The objective was to block the video if the age of any people doing activity exceeds 18. These modules when passed to the pipeline will forbid internet users to watch any kind of adult content specifically which involves a child. It's important to stop this because this has a very negative impact on our society and it is ruining our culture.

Unsolicited Pics and Sexual Scripts: Gender and Relationship Context of Compliant and Non-consensual Technology-Mediated Sexual Interactions

Technology-mediated sexual interaction (TMSI) refers to any partnered interaction that involves sending or receiving self-created, sexually explicit content using communication technology (e. g., sexting, cybersex). Most research on TMSI assumes that experiences are desired and consensual. However, it is likely that some people do not desire all their TMSI experiences but consent to them anyways (compliance), or experience non-consensual TMSIs. People also engage in TMSIs with different types of partners. According to the traditional sexual script (TSS), other-gender attracted women and men's non-consensual TMSI experiences should differ overall and depending on the relationship context of the experience. The goal of this study was to examine the role of sexual scripts in other-gender attracted women and men's non-consensual and compliant TMSI experiences with committed romantic partners (CRPs), known non-partners (KNPs), and strangers (Ss). Women (n = 331) and men (n = 120) completed an online survey with questions about lifetime prevalence of experiencing seven types of compliant and non-consensual TMSIs in each relationship context. Results of mixed ANOVAs revealed significant interactions: overall, more participants reported compliant TMSI with CRPs. More women than men had received a non-consensual TMSI from someone they were not in a committed relationship with, and more men than women reported sending non-consensual TMSIs to a stranger. Tests of unpaired proportions suggested that the prevalence of sending and receiving non-consensual TMSIs was discordant in the KNP and S contexts: both women and men received more non-consensual TMSIs from KNPs and Ss than the other-gender reported sending. Our findings suggest that gendered sexual scripts are evident in some, but not all, aspect of other-gender attracted women and men's compliant and non-consensual TMSI experiences.

Konfidencialitātes princips mediācijā un tā izņēmumi

The article analyses mediation confidentiality principle and its exceptions in Latvia. Mediation as one of ADR methods is legally regulated in several normative enactments. Since 2014, when Mediation Law was adopted, a number of mediated cases has substantially increased. One of the most significant keys of success of mediation is confidentiality. Any devaluation of mediation confidentiality endangers its effectiveness. A principle of confidentiality does not have explicit content and clear borderlines, especially if compared across different mediation legal enactments. The object of the article is a concept of confidentiality principle. The aim of the article is to analyze the scope of confidentiality principle, and to disclose legal weakness of mediation con­fidentiality protection.

Post-Reading Comprehension Questions and Task Types in Vision: A Locally Developed Textbook for Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Responding to the call for perusing the post-reading comprehension questions in various EFL textbooks, the current study aimed to investigate the post-reading comprehension questions and task types in the Vision series including three student books and their accompanying workbooks in light of Freeman’s (2014) taxonomy. Following a descriptive content analysis procedure, the post-reading comprehension questions in each student books and its accompanying workbook were categorized and counted by the researchers and the Kappa coefficient was 0.97. The results revealed that Content questions were the most dominant type in all the student books and workbooks except for Vision 3 in which Language questions were the most frequent of all. The results also showed that the highest frequency of post-reading comprehension questions belonged to Explicit (Content) and Form (Language) in student books and Explicit and Implicit (Content), Form (Language), and Personal Response (Affect) in workbooks. The results of Kruskal Wallis test of independent samples indicated a significant difference in terms of Affect type across the student books and workbooks of Vision series. The findings raise the EFL material developers’ awareness of the existing post-reading comprehension questions and tasks to enhance the quality of reading sections of EFL textbooks. The results also help the teachers to supplement the books with the missing types and take a comprehensive approach to developing the learners’ reading skills.

A Review of Image Analysis Techniques for Adult Content Detection

The fast growth of internet access globally without boundary has led to some negative impacts among children who are exposed to pornographic contents daily. Many parental control strategies have been put in place to protect these children; however, these strategies are usually inspired by political and social interventions. With the availability of computational tools, many automated explicit content detection methods though having their flaws have been proposed to support these social interventions. In this study, a review of the current automated adult content detectors is presented with open issues for future research work.

Social Media Use and Its Association with Sexual Practices among Undergraduate Students in a Private Medical University at Solan, Himachal Pradesh

Introduction: Social networking has become integral to the intellectual and social lives of the young populace. Their often unrestricted access to sexually explicit content and associated adverse sexual health constitute key outcomes in public health research. Objectives: To determine the association between social media use and various sexual practices among undergraduate students in a private medical university at Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Methods: We enrolled 300 undergraduates, using random sampling technique in the present cross sectional study. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire and data analysis employed statistical package for social sciences version 22.0. Chi-square test was used to determine association between variables and p value<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The mean age of respondents was 21.85+ 2.63 years. Majority of the respondents have heard about social media (n=299, 99.7%) and majority have received information from friends/peers (79%). The commonest reason for non-use of social media for sexually explicit content was lack of interest (54.3%). The mean age at sexual debut was 17.44 + 2.63 years. There was statistically significant association between use of social media for sexually explicit content and being sexually active (p=0.000), type of sexual acts practiced (p=0.003) and number of sexual partners (p=0.000). Conclusion: There is need for improved multi- sectoral measures (formal comprehensive sex education, peer education programs, school mini-media clubs and targeted behavior change intervention), Media and internet literacy education to control viewing of social media for sexually explicit content, while ensuring that young people’s access to sexual health educational content is not compromised.

The demise of #NSFW: Contested platform governance and Tumblr’s 2018 adult content ban

On December 3, 2018, Tumblr announced that it would ban sexually explicit content from the platform, drawing immediate backlash from users. The ensuing discord on the site is conceptualized here as contested platform governance, or a conflict between users and ownership, in which not only are a platform’s policies and features challenged, but also its core values, identity, and/or purposes are put into question. By examining 238 Tumblr posts, this analysis identifies the unique ways users combatted the ban and (re)inscribed community values, while also contesting the owners’ legitimacy to govern the platform. Holding implications for the site’s long-term survival, such conflicts capture a critical moment in which the boundaries of power between users and ownership are challenged and, possibly, transformed. By examining Tumblr’s Not Safe For Work (NSFW) ban through the lens of platform governance, this study offers insight into how power and its limits are negotiated online.

Explicit Content

This chapter investigates the transformation of traditional face-to-face sexual harassment (SH) to online sexual harassment (OSH). First, an overview of traditional workplace sexual harassment is discussed. Next, the issues of cyberbullying and cyberstalking are presented as a bridge to online sexual harassment, as the two former types of behavior can be seen in online sexual harassment and have both received considerable attention. Then, current research concerning online sexual harassment will be presented, including a discussion of factors that facilitate OSH, social media as a site of harassment, coping strategies, and effects. This concept is worthy of study because online sexual harassment represents a way for the perpetrator to victimize his or her target without the boundaries and restrictions of time, location, or fear of consequence. This chapter concludes with some practical recommendations for organizational leaders to implement to prevent both on- and offline SH from occurring within their company.
