pornographic images are being returned by API

[Ian Clarke]

During testing I supplied the following text to the API (which I extracted from this blog entry 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_%28with_pants%29.jpg

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?

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.
