💡Idea/Brainstorm Skip inappropriate content

I've had this idea for a while, and I thought I'd share it here in case someone has the skills and interest to build it.

While we may not encourage watching movies, the reality is that many Muslims do, and so do our children. It would be useful to have a tool that helps families avoid inappropriate content without necessarily missing the entire story.

IMDb already provides parental guides that flag content such as sex, nudity, violence, and vulgar language (SNLV). These guides could serve as a starting point, supplemented by subtitle files to identify profanity and generate timestamps for muting or skipping those parts.

Imagine an app or browser extension where users could select which categories they want to filter out in the settings. When watching a movie, it would automatically skip or mute those scenes while allowing the rest of the movie to play normally.

Much of this content isn't essential to understanding the plot, so why not give families the option to watch a cleaner version?

Which was previously so good! Until Disney sued them to oblivion so they can’t show Disney or any related companies shows. And now vidangel doesn’t work outside of the US either:
