I'm looking for ways to block NSFW images everywhere on the internet, including supposedly safe subreddits. I want to know the best methods out there without running into issues like overblocking or underblocking. How do you all handle this dilemma?

A lot of websites we consider safe could have NSFW content. I think it's tricky to just block it out. If someone is browsing a subreddit for their actual hobby, how do you draw the line? Is it really necessary to enforce stricter controls, or can we just let things be?
We keep it simple and block sites by categories and known harmful lists. There's no point in going overboard with excessive blocking. Sure, you could block Reddit entirely, but that might hinder users who genuinely benefit from it. It's all about weighing the pros and cons based on your team's needs!
I rely on firewall filters for blocking, and anything beyond that, it’s up to the HR or team leaders to manage the issue. If upper management wants a solution, they'll need to allocate a budget for it!
Honestly, I don't stress too much about it. If a few NSFW images slip through, it's not a huge deal for me.
Right? The internet is just too vast and unpredictable for that. Maybe it's okay to just have an open discussion about it instead.
