And sometimes I&amp;#x27;m having a feeling that there are groups who will actively drop their nsfw content in the places where it shouldn&amp;#x27;t be. Or create content that hangs on a thin line of legality that gives a dubious greenlight to stuff that is clearly explicit.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think there&amp;#x27;s any other way beside automatic content scanning how much I don&amp;#x27;t like this idea because on few big networks examples, manual work done by human can be harmful - even if it&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;just&amp;quot; naked people on pictures or drawings. Not mention it&amp;#x27;s a hard labor. Requiring that content should be marked as nsfw under a threat of ban could be also a way but as above, people can avoid that.</text></comment>
