System issues
If consumers, the final link, do not cooperate, the chain will not be broken
- Illegal copying of copyrighted music
- Non-payment of sales taxes
- Drug use condoned by well-off urban and suburban households and
- Watching Pornography - at one point ~50% of Internet use
Some novel methods exist and could be applied at all 3 links
- WIPE? can identify objectionable websites, and publish their IP addresses
- Objectionable sites, identified by IP addresses, could be blocked by filters
- WIPE can dynamically analyze web content and with high probability identify objectionable content, and be used to filter out such content
- Parents and libraries can identify under-age consumers
These technologies are not perfect, but their application is feasible
- Installation of filters may be at ISPs, in browsers, at home, under parental control
We will show next some images where our WIPE? technology failed
- showing failures provides understanding, also prevents embarrassment
- In practice our purely image-analysis based technology would be
1. Applied to many images at a provider site, creating a very high confidence
2. Combined with other information, as text, recognition of museums, etc.
