With the onset of the twenty-first century, the internet world has seen a pervasive development. Smartphones have become the primordial means of communication and social networking. This has granted the minors an unprecedented access to the internet which poses the risk of both unwanted exposure as well as intended access to the harmful internet content such as pornography, violence, unmoderated chat sites, etc. which can have profound effects both in the personal as well as professional life of the minors, and has proved to be catastrophic in the past. The benefits of the proposed reinforced strategy are two-fold: It can actively filter and block internet users, especially minors, from the NSFW content, and it can also act as a watchdog and moderate websites making sure that they do not trade on illegal contents.
