Moderating user-generated content efficiently
How do you keep content that users post on your site high-quality and appropriate, free of viruses or malware, once you’ve grown to the point that manually moderating each user submission is unwieldy?
Inviting user-generated content can serve many purposes for different kinds of sites. For example, if you own a news site, users might upload pictures of what’s happening in real-time, and if you’re selling a product, users can promote your brand by posting pictures of themselves using your product. The challenge is, moderating that user-generated content.
Enter, Cloudinary. Cloudinary provides several add-ons that you can register for that can automatically moderate assets uploaded to your site in the following ways:
- Amazon Rekognition AI Moderation: automatically rejects inappropriate images using Deep Learning algorithms and prevents them from being uploaded into your system.
- Amazon Rekognition Video Moderation and Google AI Video Moderation: automatically rejects inappropriate videos using Deep Learning algorithms and prevents them from being uploaded into your system.
- Perception Point Malware Detection: automatically scans both your own assets and those uploaded by your users, making sure that no virus or malicious code is delivered to your web and mobile viewers.
- WebPurify Image Moderation: offers an image moderation service based on human moderator experts.
- Cloudinary Duplicate Image Detection: prevents duplicate assets from being uploaded to your system.
Once you’ve registered for the desired moderation, simply mark your asset for that moderation within your upload call, for example:
Voilà! Your user-generated content is moderated.
