During testing I supplied the following text to the API (which I extracted
from this blog entry<http://blog.locut.us/2012/01/17/camera-on-my-umx-beast-3d-small-rc-ai...> using
some simple heuristics:

"I went out flying this morning and stuck a small camera on my UMX Beast 3D
airplane. I do a few loops and rolls and stuff, followed by a less than
perfect landing (caused by some rocks on my landing strip):"

The 3rd and 4th most relevant images returned by Zemanta were (WARNING -
pornographic, NSFW):

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Landing_Strip_Man.jpg
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Landing_strip_%28w...

Clearly this would be disastrous if these had been shown to an unsuspecting
user.  Surely Zemanta has safeguards against this type of thing?!  Is there
some parameter I need to pass in to ensure that the returned content is of
a work-friendly nature?

Ian.

Thank you for notifying us!

Unfortunately we don't have machine vision technology to classify such
images, so we remove them manually when we get to be aware of them.

We'll make sure next refresh of images will not include those.

Generally we index a lot of content and since we cannot go manually over
it, there is a possibility to stumble upon something like this.
