Prolly need some sort of ml to parse every image used on device and tag potentially dangerous ones. Wouldn’t be too expensive on devices with tensor units...

Apparently Apple already reports your offensive photos already, can’t imagine why browsing should be treated differently.

>> This analysis generally happens inside a sandbox, and very little of what the systems determine makes it outside of that sandbox. There are special exceptions, of course, for things like child pornography, for which very special classifiers have been created and which are specifically permitted to reach outside that sandbox.

Unsure what is Techcrunch's source for this but it kinda makes sense.
