Content security refers to a series of practices and measures aimed at ensuring that
information content published, disseminated, and shared on the internet, social media platforms,
applications, games, or other digital spaces is compliant, healthy, and safe. Content security
involves the process of identifying, filtering, blocking, or removing illegal, harmful, offensive,
or inappropriate content.
The primary goal of content security is to protect users, especially minors and vulnerable
groups, from the harm of inappropriate content. This includes content involving violence, pornography,
terrorism, hate speech, cyberbullying, misinformation, and more.
To achieve content security, various platforms or service providers typically adopt multiple
approaches, such as establishing clear content policies and community guidelines, setting up content
review teams, and using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to automatically
detect and filter problematic content. In addition, some platforms allow users to report inappropriate
content and encourage self-regulation and community management among users.
