Thinking About Content Moderation: The Problem of Interpretation
In the digital landscape, the interpretation of NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content presents a unique challenge due to its subjective nature. For example, an image of a woman in a bikini may be acceptable in some contexts but not in others. To address this, we've introduced a 'strictness' query parameter in our NSFW API. This feature allows businesses to adjust the level of content moderation to suit their specific needs. By default, the algorithm is set to maximum strictness, but it can be tailored to be less strict, providing a flexible solution to the diverse challenges of digital content moderation.
