The reason I made this was that I noticed Mask R-CNN’s masking and object identification capabilities were pretty good and I needed a refresher on Python-based image manipulation. https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/976277067070300160?s=21

And then I remembered Black Mirror and it gave me an idea.

The step toward dystopia was not the primary motivation for this project.

This is cool I remember trying to build a chrome extension for something like this a while ago for detecting and blocking images of animals people had phobia's for (e.g snake, spider and e.t.c) and I tried using pythons dlib object detector and shape landmarks predictor and it was a very stressful exercise in futility. Now I will have a look at mark r-cnn as it might help solve my problem and my few minutes of total brain fuckery after unlucky seeing a picture or a video with any kind of snakes in it, the big one's are of course worse.
