Hive is proud to announce that we are partnering with Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a non-profit organization working to stop child sexual abuse online. We will be integrating their proprietary keyword and URL lists into our default Text Moderation model for all customers at no additional cost.
Our Joint Commitment to Child Safety
Making the internet a safer place is one of Hive’s core values. Our partnership with IWF allows us to use their specialized knowledge to bolster our leading content moderation tools, helping our customers better detect and flag online records of child sexual abuse.
As part of our partnership, Hive will now include the following two IWF wordlists as part of our default Text Moderation model for all customers at no additional cost:
- Keyword List: This wordlist contains known terms and code words that offenders use to exchange child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in a discreet manner. More information can be found here.
- URL List: This wordlist contains a comprehensive list of webpages that are confirmed to host CSAM in image or video form. More information can be found here.
With these lists, customers can now use Text Moderation to catch various keywords and URLs associated with CSAM. These lists are dynamic and will be updated on a daily basis.
A sample Text Moderation response can be found below. We recommend that all customers perform an initial evaluation to first determine if the list’s keywords are helpful for their specific use case. For more information, refer to the following documentation.
Integration with Thorn Safer Match
Our partnership also grants us access to IWF’s hash lists. Previously, we partnered with Thorn, allowing customers to integrate their Safer Match hash matching technology for CSAM detection using Hive APIs.
We can now match against IWF’s hash lists with Thorn Safer Match. If you want this feature supported, please reach out to our sales team (sales@thehive.ai).
By combining our leading moderation tools with IWF’s specialized expertise, we hope that we can create a safer internet for children worldwide.
