01 Overview

Online spaces that stay helpful and safe.

Content Moderation & Digital Safety is HIve's outsourced moderation stream: reviewing community forum posts and user comments, validating media, reviews and profiles, and enforcing your brand guidelines and policies so your online spaces stay helpful and safe.

Wherever users can post — forums, comment sections, reviews, profiles or uploaded media — someone needs to check that what appears is appropriate, genuine and in line with your rules. HIve applies your guidelines consistently and routes borderline cases to the right person on your side, so moderation decisions stay fair and predictable.
