My daughter was talking with a friend over iMessage. They were like playing a game where they search all emojis with a certain color. When she tried to send the message in this picture, the iPhone rejected, with the alert saying she was sending a nude. There’s nothing there, only emojis. What could’ve triggered the warning?

The flag of South Sudan uses the wrong shade of blue. Or at least I think that's what's wrong since I'm not sure software vendors care about the exact color values of flags. Some operating systems still use the darker blue for Honduras for example.

I wonder if it's exceeded the max length and caused a poorly handled error

It could be, but I managed to send it by entering my parent code.

iPhones scan messages? So much for privacy...

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The phone protect kids from sending nudes. (AFAIK it happens on the phone, not on a server). The phone has a series of protections for kids. She can’t message someone I don’t approve, no message or call from people not on the contact list can enter. But still, someone could grab her friend’s phone and ask for nudes. In this particular case, I entered my parent code and the message was sent. I fail to see how this is bad.

That entire context was missing in your post: you have parental controls activated aka you opted into scanning.

The post was presented as if your daughter just had a normal iPhone + not everybody uses an iPhone. You can't expect people to know that the feature exists + that it's activated on your daughters phone. I read daughter and thought she was an adult.

What does that have anything to do with the price of weed in Colorado?

The post isn't even a photo, it's just a really long string of emojis. So, how in the holy hell did it somehow detect a nude photo out of that in the first place?

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 47 minutes ago (2 children)

Price of weed? What?

As for the nude, it probably detected the "💦" which I imagine is often sent with nudes or in discussions surrounding nudes. But who knows. Malus will never reveal its sauce.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago

Colorado was the first state to allow recreational marijuana use.

It's my own twist on 'What does that have to do with the price of eggs in Spain?'

I have no idea where that saying came from, but it all adds up to what's that got to do with anything?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 37 minutes ago

From the saying, "What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?" Modernized.

The AI considered that first row AI porn

It’s a feature that parents can toggle on to help prevent their kids from sending CSAM, and receiving unwanted dick pics. The choice of censorship is entirely on the parent.

The emojis are a little far tho..

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Iphones may refuse to send "inappropriate" messages? Fuck that.

The problem is that you can't detect such things accurately and that some clowns still want to force it on everyone.

I have no problem with that. I entered my parent code and the message was sent.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Probably the fact that it contains the 'tie the knot' emoji and the 'squirt' emoji...

Edit: Those spotted in the last 3 rows, if it helps locate them.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is "tie the knot" associated with nudes?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It all depends on how one interprets 'tie the knot', and I have no idea how Apple's software interprets it..

🐕🪢🐩...

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could say that about anything. That you called out that emoji suggests you know of some particular interpretation of it that relates to nudity. Care to share?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am not here to teach people about how K9 reproduction works. I posted enough with those 3 emojis.

If you don't already know, then you don't need to know.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ha, I hadn't paid any attention those dog emojis (I think I tend to filter those out). Ok, seems a stretch, but I guess who knows what weirdness you may get with overuse of AI.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Indeed, hard to say what the hell triggered Apple or their AI shit, just spotting a random guess. Clearly it's not a nude though.

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

I bet there is programms out there, that can convert pictures into rows of emojis, just like with ascii-art. Maybe thats what they're trying to guard against 🤷‍♂️

The robot has a flesh tongue? Like FCG.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

I see critical role, I updoot.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it those images where you unfocus your eyes and it appears lol. Could be the image hash happens to be a match to a nude hash??

A schooner is a sailboat, stupid-head!

You know what? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY! Over there? That’s just a guy in a suit!!

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well clearly the Sudanese flag is wrong since it does not contain blue.

[–] tal 8 points 1 day ago

I don't know, but start shaving off emojis to see when it'll accept it and you might get some hints.

[–] creamlike504@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Slight tangent: Would blocking still work if they tried to send nudes via Snapchat?

I'm not "asking for a friend," I'm just curious how effective this feature could possibly be.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

(deleting, not sure how my reply to other comment became to level)

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

too many cop emojis, that's what's wrong with it
