> A new feature, Sensitive Content Warning, helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos. It looks like there's now a feature you can enable that uses a classifier (I'm guessing?) to identify dick pics, and let you choose whether you want to see it or not. The last slide[0] in the last carousel on the linked page has an image of the dialog. I bet that was an interesting team to work on. edit: Obligatory Silicon Valley ref: pt1: [VIDEO] pt2: [LINK] [0] [LINK]
