- Uploading images of people for the purpose of creating deepfakes or non-consensual likenesses
3. Content Moderation
We operate automated and human review on prompts and outputs.
3.1 Automated Review (real-time)
- Input filtering: generation prompts and custom instructions are scanned before processing
- Output filtering: generated images are assessed before delivery to the user
- Safety tools: prompt moderation API (pre-generation) and platform safety filters
- AI models used: Google Gemini (Nano Banana) and Kie.ai image generation APIs
3.2 Human Review
- User-reported content is reviewed manually by our team
- Auto-flagged content enters a human review queue
- Critical violations (L1) receive priority review
3.3 Content Severity Levels
| Level | Description | Action |
