This cannot be prevented. You just need a bot that emulates a reader who
has the desired filter settings enabled and then load all the images or
articles or whatever and check what is blocked and then you have a list.

(I note that it's trivial to blur images on the client side and reveal
them on hover or tapping or whatever input method would be appropriate.)

This will not work unless you introduce some process to block editors
who put too much on their filter list for some definition of "too much".
