China says no beating off

What opinion do conservatives, insecure women, and Communists have in common? A deep hatred of images portraying mutually consenting adults engaged in coitus. This brings me to today's topic:

A Proceedings paper from China came across my desk today, hardly an unusual occurence, but the topic of this one threw me. The paper was focused on the automatic censoring of 'sexual images' via affinity propagation clustering. Essentially what this means is that Chinese censors can run computer programs which analyze thousands of images through a program, and using a detection accuracy ratio, questionable content is highlighted and then compared to a sample database of images deemed inappropriate. If the image fails the test it is censored.

China is automatically blocking porn from the internet. For shame, for shame.
