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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our partnership, Hive will now include the following two IWF wordlists as part of our default Text Moderation model for <strong>all<\/strong> customers at no additional cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Keyword List:<\/strong> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwf.org.uk\/our-technology\/our-services\/keywords-list\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>URL List:<\/strong> This wordlist contains a comprehensive list of webpages that are confirmed to host CSAM in image or video form. More information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwf.org.uk\/our-technology\/our-services\/url-list\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sample Text Moderation response can be found below. We recommend that all customers perform an initial evaluation to first determine if the list\u2019s keywords are helpful for their specific use case.
