Скачать или смотреть Social Media Platforms: Visual Content Moderation Use Case

Visual content moderation is of utmost importance for social media platforms. They are often under scrutiny because they handle inappropriate content, such as violence, extremism, hate speech, explicit content, and more.

Moderation for social media platforms is especially challenging due to a few key factors — the sheer amount of user-generated content, real-time publishing and circulation, and nuances in context. It takes time and adjustments for algorithms to attune to spotting cultural differences in content. The same goes for finding the right approach and applying different tolerance levels towards sensitive content depending on the cultural background.

Striking the balance between being lenient with harmful content and unnecessary censoring is daunting. The scalability and growing accuracy of computer vision are thus of immense help in content moderation for images, video, and live streaming.
