The war on (unwanted) dick pics has begun

A web developer asked men to send her pictures of their genitals in order to build a filter that 'recognises' a penis and blurs it. Which raises the question: why haven't tech companies taken this on yet?

Earlier this month, after waking up to find an unwelcome dick pic in her Twitter account's DMs, web developer Kelsey Bressler, 28, co-created an AI filter she claims is capable of preventing over 95% of sexually explicit images from reaching her inbox.

To test the filter, Bressler solicited pictures of male genitalia en masse, receiving hundreds to the trial account @ShowYoDiq, "for science".
