My school had something called Securus, which would scan the memory of all the programs, scan for combinations of pixels indicating pornography (on the screen and on your personal media devices) and of course key log everything. Luckily they include Python on some of the computers for a quick task kill.

>can for combinations of pixels indicating pornography

How could this possibly work in the era before convolutional neural networks?

Heuristics. Amount of skin tones mostly. Of course, lots of false positives at that age, and some false negatives due to racial biases of the algorithm. It was crude, but kind of worked.
