Scalable multi-level collaborative content moderation

Abstract:

Content moderation in real-time communication includes receiving, by a sending device of a sending user, a first portion of a media stream from the sending user; determining, by the sending device, that the first portion of the media stream is classified as uncertain for transmission to a receiving user; transmitting, by the sending device to a centralized content moderation device, the first portion of the media stream, where the centralized content moderation device determines a centralized determination of whether the first portion is appropriate; in response to the centralized determination indicating that the first portion is appropriate, transmitting, by the sending device to the receiving user, the first portion; and, in response to the centralized determination indicating that the first portion is inappropriate, transmitting, by the sending device to the receiving user, a blurred first portion of the first portion.
