A comment on Discord is going to give out warnings instead of permanent bans.

> In the coming weeks, Discord is rolling out a sensitive content filter that will be enabled by default and blur sexually explicit content in DMs and in servers

I wonder how this feature will work in servers. Channels can be tagged as "NSFW", and require you to opt into visiting them. Surely they won't blur content in these channels by default? Surely if you're posting sexually explicit content outside of these channels you should delete them instead of blur them.

Blurring can probably be applied with a much higher false positive rate than deleting images...

If this feature is anything like their existing detection, it'll be near useless, buggy and just get in the way. For a while discord would detect things like close up pictures of hands as nsfw and would block sending them in a group dm channel even though none of us had the filter setting on.
