An art project linking the cities of Dublin and New York via a live video portal has been temporarily shut after less than a week due to "inappropriate behaviour".
The Portal offered a continuous live stream that
was displayed on a circular screen in both cities.
The project was halted because some visitors displayed
bad language, an OnlyFans model flashed body parts, and
footage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks were transmitted to
New York viewers.
The Portals project used Video Window
software to power the always-on video connections. Video
Window told TechCrunch website it is working on a
machine learning component to block inappropriate behaviour.
