How We Moderate Content
SpeakOX uses a layered approach to content moderation that combines automated tools with human review:
AI Pre-screening
Every story, comment, and uploaded file is scanned by our AI moderation system before it becomes publicly visible. The AI detects harmful content patterns, hate speech, phishing links, and spam with high accuracy.
Community Reporting
Any user can flag content for review. Reports are triaged by severity — content involving illegal material is escalated immediately, while other reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
Human Admin Review
Our moderation team reviews flagged content, disputed decisions, and edge cases. Human reviewers make final calls on account suspensions and content removal.
Escalation to Authorities
Content that constitutes a credible threat to life, involves CSAM, or facilitates serious crime is reported to the relevant authorities without delay. We cooperate fully with law enforcement pursuant to our law enforcement guidelines.
How to Report Content
Response Times
| Issue Type | Target Response Time |
|---|---|
| Critical CSAM, imminent threat to life, active terrorism | Immediate — escalated to authorities without delay |
