The proliferation of technological innovations is an evident trend in the content moderation solutions industry. Major industry players are developing fresh technologies to maintain their market standing.

This software is intended to assist individuals who identify and report images and videos that violate laws and regulations, ensuring websites remain clear of inappropriate content.
