Content Moderation

Content moderation is the process of monitoring and reviewing user-generated content to ensure it aligns with platform guidelines and protects a brand‘s online reputation. It serves as a critical line of defense against potentially damaging or inappropriate content that could harm a company’s image and trustworthiness.
