Device Helps Employers Sniff Out Porn on Workplace Computers

LOS ANGELES—For those employees who like to sneak a peek at their favorite porn sites at work, be warned, there’s a device that detects your carnal web browsing. The Paraben Porn Stick is a USB stick that plugs into your computer that will identify and even delete pornographic images. While the device is about a year old, it’s recently captured the fascination of mainstream media with articles from Time, MSNBC.com, Forbes, Geek.com and others. AVN reported on the Porn Stick last March. Priced at $100, a fraction of the cost of tracking software, the Porn Stick will even retrieve deleted images and internet cache files all without installing software on the computer so no intrusion is detected. The device is fast too. Paraben says that it can scan at 500 GB hard drive with over 70,000 in about an hour. The Porn Stick also can sniff out porn on DVDs, CDs, MicroSD cards and ZIP files. So how does it work? “The Porn Detection Stick uses advanced image analyzing algorithms that categorize images as potentially harmful by identifying facial features, flesh tone colors, image back grounds, body part shapes, and more,” with less than a 1 percent false positive rate, the company said. While the Porn Stick doesn’t yet detect videos, it’s expected to be able to do so soon, which means downloading the latest Brazzers update at work probably isn’t the best idea.
