Amazon's AI is democratizing the war on NSFW user-generated content

Amazon's controversial Rekognition computer vision technology is now being used to rid food sites of surprise dick pics. The London-based food delivery service Deliveroo has a definite content moderation challenge. It seems that when there's a problem with a food order, Deliveroo customers often send in a photo of the food with their complaint. Or they arrange the food into the shapes of private parts. Deliveroo's employees, it turns out, don't necessarily want to see stuff like that. So the company uses Rekognition to recognize unsavory photos and blur or delete them before they reach human eyes.
