Inappropriate content and media moderation was once considered an unsolvable challenge. They said it couldn’t be solved – but Bynn has proven otherwise.

Bynn’s advanced AI-driven moderation solution automatically filters and flags harmful or inappropriate content across all media types, keeping your platform safe and your community thriving. With Bynn, you can effortlessly shield users from violent imagery, explicit sexual content, hate speech, scams, and other offensive material in real time – all while maintaining a seamless user experience. In today’s digital landscape, effective moderation isn’t just about checking a box for compliance – it’s fundamental to user trust, community health, and your brand’s reputation.

Striking the right balance between moderation and free expression is crucial, as overly strict moderation or regulatory changes can sometimes result in fewer users on a platform.

One API for All User Generated Content Types

Bynn offers one unified API to moderate every kind of content. Our solution processes images, videos, text, audio, and more through a single endpoint, simplifying your integration and accelerating deployment. The API is designed to process and moderate all content posted by users, regardless of format, ensuring comprehensive coverage for user-generated material. No need to juggle separate tools for different media formats – Bynn handles multi-format moderation with ease. The API returns structured JSON metadata and plain-language tags in real time, so you get immediate, actionable insights. With a single request, you can analyze an image or a video frame for graphic violence, scan a chat message for hate speech, or even check an audio clip for profanity.

Our system uses advanced algorithms to identify content that violates guidelines, providing accurate detection of inappropriate material. Having a single moderation interface means fewer integration points to manage and one consistent format for all your moderation logs and analytics. The result is a streamlined moderation pipeline that catches inappropriate content before it ever reaches your users. Bynn's API is adaptable for use across different platforms, ensuring consistent moderation standards in various online environments.

Next-Generation
Vision–Language
Artificial Intelligence

At the heart of Bynn’s moderation platform is a cutting-edge vision–language model – a single large AI system that understands both visual content and textual context together. Informed by the latest academic research in content moderation and social media analysis, this next-generation model can interpret complex scenarios involving images paired with text (for example, an image meme with a caption) and provide nuanced, plain-language explanations for why something is flagged. By combining deep visual analysis with natural language understanding, Bynn’s multi-modal AI ensures no context is missed – whether it’s detecting sarcasm in a caption that accompanies a photo or spotting hidden meaning in an image’s details. This context-aware approach significantly reduces moderation mistakes: our AI won’t mistakenly flag a harmless joke meme as harassment, and it can catch dangerous coded references in image-text combos that simpler filters might overlook. The result is smarter content moderation that adapts to the full context of each post, comment, or upload. Advanced AI moderation tools like Bynn's can shape social media by influencing what users see and how they interact with content, ultimately impacting user experience and engagement.

And we do it all while preserving low latency and high accuracy, so moderation never slows down your app or website.

Moderation Across All Media Types

No matter what type of user content you need to moderate, Bynn has you covered. Bynn supports moderating content through a variety of strategies, including pre moderation, reactive moderation, and distributed moderation, to ensure community guidelines are enforced effectively. Social media platforms often use a mix of pre-moderation, post-moderation, reactive moderation, and distributed moderation to create a safer online environment.

Content moderation is typically done through a combination of automated tools and human moderators; human moderators provide a nuanced understanding of context, cultural nuances, and subtleties that machines currently cannot. Meeting legal requirements for content moderation is also essential to ensure compliance with laws and maintain platform integrity. Our comprehensive platform applies consistent moderation standards across images, videos, text, and audio. Here’s how Bynn tackles each content type:

Visual media is often where the most jarring inappropriate content appears – from violent imagery and graphic gore to sexually explicit photos or hate symbols. Bynn’s image and video moderation tools use state-of-the-art computer vision to scan every picture and video frame for policy violations. We can detect 100+ classes of visual content risks (such as various levels of nudity, sexual activities, violence severity, presence of weapons, drugs and drug use, blood/gore, self-harm indicators, and more). Our models are contextually aware – they distinguish, for instance, between nudity in an art sculpture versus pornography, or medical imagery versus graphic violence. They also recognize hateful insignia, extremist flags, and dangerous memes or logos.

When Bynn flags an image or video, it provides descriptive labels (like “graphic violence” or “adult nudity – severe”) along with confidence scores, so you know exactly why something was flagged. You can set thresholds to automatically block the worst offenses (e.g. pornographic or extremely violent content) Bynn’s video moderation scans footage frame-by-frame, so even a brief flash of disallowed content in a longer video won’t slip through – and it can pinpoint the exact timestamp of any violation to help your team respond precisely. Such content is subject to a range of content management actions, including removal or deletion, visibility reduction, warning labels, account penalties, and legal escalation. With Bynn handling visual moderation, you protect users from ever seeing disturbing images or videos while allowing normal content to flow freely.

Inappropriate content isn’t limited to visuals – text posts, comments, and messages can be just as harmful. Bynn’s text moderation engine analyzes user-generated text in real time to intercept hate speech, harassment, explicit sexual language, violent threats, bullying, scams, and other toxic or forbidden content. Our natural language processing (NLP) models are trained on vast datasets and can understand nuance, including slang, abbreviations, and coded language. This means the system can catch subtle insults or veiled profanity that simple keyword filters would miss. It can even recognize when users try to evade filters by disguising banned words with deliberate misspellings or symbols. Bynn’s text moderation also detects solicitation of prohibited activities (like buying drugs or arranging underage drinking), as well as the sharing of personal private information (emails, phone numbers, addresses) that might violate privacy rules. Each piece of text is evaluated and tagged (for example, “harassment/bullying” or “extremist ideology”) so you can take

appropriate action – whether that’s automatic removal, flagging for review, or adding a user-visible content warning.

It’s important to ensure that moderation practices do not prevent important information from reaching its intended audience, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as harm reduction or drug education. Content moderation practices can inadvertently suppress valuable discussions, including those related to harm reduction, so careful calibration is essential.

Multi-language support allows you to moderate a global user base, with models that can be extended to different languages and local slang. We can even adapt our models to your community’s unique slang or industry-specific jargon, ensuring nothing slips by due to unfamiliar phrasing. With Bynn, your community discussions stay civil, respectful, and safe from malicious or harmful speech.

Audio and voice content have become integral to modern platforms – from voice notes and podcasts to live-stream audio and in-game chat. Bynn’s moderation capabilities extend seamlessly into the audio realm as well. Our system performs real-time audio moderation by transcribing speech to text and then analyzing that transcript for the same spectrum of issues as text content. If someone speaks hateful slurs in a voice chat or uses graphic sexual language in a podcast, Bynn will flag it just as it would if the content were written. We also analyze audio for other unwanted signals – for example, explicit violent sounds or even suspicious silence where speech is expected (which could indicate someone trying to circumvent voice detection). The transcription process is fast and accurate, enabling near-instant detection of issues in live audio streams or uploaded files.

Bynn's audio moderation capabilities are especially valuable for messaging apps, where voice notes and live audio are common. Social media platforms and messaging apps have become major channels for the dissemination of information, including harm reduction discussions, making robust moderation essential to support safe and constructive community interactions.

This automated approach empowers you to enforce standards in live audio rooms (like voice chats in a game or social app) and recorded messages with the same rigor as text or images – a feat that would be nearly impossible with human moderators alone. By covering voice, Bynn ensures inappropriate content doesn’t slip through via sound.

Moderation in Action

Imagine a user posts a video on your platform that unexpectedly contains a burst of graphic violence. Before any human moderator even notices, Bynn’s AI vision model detects the gore in that video frame and automatically flags or removes the content, preventing other users from being exposed. Meanwhile, elsewhere on your platform, a troll might be harassing others with coded insults – but Bynn’s NLP catches the veiled harassment and flags those messages instantly. In both cases, the problematic content is dealt with in real time, and your human team only needs to review the flagged items as needed. This is the power of having Bynn as a 24/7 virtual moderator: harmful posts are caught before they can cause damage, and your community remains safe and enjoyable. No surprise controversies, no PR nightmares – issues get handled proactively before they explode.

Harm reduction strategies aim to reduce the harms associated with drug use through education and support, but these strategies face challenges on social media due to content moderation policies. The removal of harm reduction content from social media can have significant consequences for users seeking information on safer drug use practices.

Intuitive Moderation Dashboard

Staying in control of your moderation process is easy with Bynn’s dashboard. Our web-based moderation console gives you a real-time view of all incoming content and flags. Through the dashboard, your team can review flagged posts in context – seeing the image, text, or audio snippet alongside the reason it was flagged – and take action with a single click (approve, remove, or escalate). You can customize filters and sensitivity levels through this interface, enabling or disabling specific content classes as your policy evolves.

The dashboard also provides analytics on moderation activity: track trends like spikes in hate speech or drops in spam after policy changes, and get insights into how content is being moderated over time. All moderation actions are logged for accountability. You can even allow user appeals by using the dashboard to review and restore content if needed. With its intuitive layout and search functionality, even non-technical staff can easily navigate the moderation queue, adjust settings, and maintain a high quality bar for your community.  Team members can even filter the queue by violation type or user account to quickly zero in on specific issues and prioritize what's most urgent. Bynn’s dashboard ensures that while AI does the heavy lifting, you remain in full control of your platform’s safety.
