| From the article:
|
| _It created a filtered channel, now known as Random Chat,
| designed to exclude nudity, alongside an Unmoderated channel._
|
| Strangely, they intend to discontinue the unfiltered section in
| the near future.
|
| _The unfiltered channel remains popular, but usage is
| shrinking, and Ternovskiy plans to eliminate it by the middle
| of 2021._
|
| My gut feeling is that will just lead to mature content
| creators attempting to trick the filter, and I imagine they
| will be successful.
