Content Moderation for Modern Publishing

The media industry has transformed from one-way broadcast to interactive platforms where reader engagement drives traffic and ad revenue. News sites enable comment sections with image uploads. Content platforms host user-submitted stories and photos. Streaming services manage user profiles and reviews. Each interaction point requires moderation to maintain editorial standards.

Brand safety is paramount for media companies. Advertisers demand assurance that their ads won't appear alongside inappropriate content. A single viral incident of offensive user content can damage advertiser relationships, trigger boycotts, and harm brand reputation. Yet heavy-handed moderation stifles the engagement that drives revenue.

Our AI moderation provides the balance media companies need – protecting brand safety and editorial standards while enabling the user engagement that drives modern media business models.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does brand safety scoring work?

Our brand safety model analyzes images against GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) categories including adult content, violence, hate speech, and sensitive topics. We provide granular scores allowing you to set thresholds appropriate for your advertisers.

Can you moderate at the speed of breaking news?

Yes. Our API processes images in under 100ms, enabling real-time moderation even during high-traffic breaking news events. We scale elastically to handle traffic spikes without degradation.

How do you handle news imagery that may be graphic?

We understand that news content may include newsworthy graphic imagery. Our API provides context-aware moderation that can distinguish between gratuitous violence and legitimate news documentation, with configurable thresholds for editorial judgment.

Can you detect manipulated images and deepfakes?

Yes. Our deepfake and manipulation detection helps prevent the spread of misinformation. We can identify AI-generated images, face swaps, and digitally altered photos before they're published.

Do you integrate with common CMS platforms?

We provide plugins for WordPress, Drupal, and other popular CMS platforms. Custom integrations use our standard REST API and webhooks for seamless workflow integration.
