Porn Detection Stick searches a hard drive for…you know

Just to let you know, one of the reasons why I reported on this device is because I wanted the hits that will occur from those who search for the word “porn” on this site. For those that are looking for porn, beware, because the Porn Detection Stick is going to find you out.

This simple device from Paraben looks like an ordinary USB thumb drive, and, when it is connected to the computer, it will search the hard drive for any pornographic material. It might take a while, as the company says that a 500GB hard drive containing 70,000 images will take an hour and half for a full search.

According to my Source, the Porn Detection Stick uses “advanced image analyzing algorithms that categorize images as potentially harmful by identifying facial features, flesh tone colors, image backgrounds, body part shapes, and more”. I’m guessing it uses whatever technology that screens for porn on YouTube. By the way, if you have deleted pornographic images in your Recycle bin, the Porn Detection Stick will sniff them out. In case you are wondering if the Porn Detection Stick can mis-detect, then you should know that it has a one percent false positive rate.

I can’t help but wonder what it would mis-detect as porn. This is the part where I’m not going to state the reasons why you would want to purchase the Porn Detection Stick, and just say that you can get it for $99.99.
