The problem of adult or porn content become one of the main issues for the open Web. On the one hand, porn is big business with the substantial number of consumers. However, there are definite cases when porn is illegal. Public websites may suffer from adult content, because many users including children should not see it because of ethic, religious, social or psychological issues. In many cases users who do not want to see adult content claim to the service providers, and in some cases it leads to lawsuits. Existing adult content filters work with texts, so they cannot restrict access to pure multimedia or social media sites, because the uploaded or displayed adult content may have no special words. Search engines use the embedded 'Safe search' mode, but it cannot ensure adult content restrictions because of the same issue - most of search engines analyse texts, not the images themselves. Moreover, text filters are not too smart and can fail detecting web sources with non-adult content but containing particular keywords. Just image speaks itself.

How do most of web services owners resolve the issue? They appoint teams of content moderators who browse the content and detect the unwanted images manually. No doubts, it is time and cost consuming, and definitely not effective taking into account all financial, technical and operational issues. Therefore the only efficient solution is using our automatic piFilter engine detecting porn in images without manual input. piFilter does not block porn images, it just detects them, so that the user can utilize its estimations as he wants.
