I'm curious about how social media platforms manage to filter out inappropriate content such as explicit images, audios, and videos. Do they use their own AI technologies for this, or do they mostly depend on user reports? I'm not a beginner at programming, but this is an area I'm uncertain about. Whenever I come up with ideas for a new site, I get stuck thinking about how to effectively moderate different types of media, especially since text moderation seems much simpler. I appreciate any insights you can provide!

It's a significant concern if you plan to allow user-generated content. Once you reach a large audience, moderating what users submit can become very challenging. Popular sites often need dedicated staff to ensure compliance with laws and maintain a safe environment.
There was a model a while back that worked with TensorFlow.js, which could run on the client side and detect NSFW content. It's worth researching how effective it is for your needs.
Most social media platforms use a mix of automated filtering, dedicated moderation teams, and user reports to manage inappropriate content. The exact method can vary from one platform to another.
Big companies likely have their own models trained for this purpose. But you don’t have to start from scratch—many providers offer solutions like AWS Rekognition, Azure AI Content Safety, and OpenAI's moderation API.
