Comprehensive Filtering of Inappropriate Content
Detector24 provides a comprehensive filter for virtually every type of objectionable or policy-violating content. You remain in control – simply pick and choose which content categories you want to filter, and Detector24 takes care of the rest. There's no need to manually compile extensive word lists; Detector24 comes with an extensive library of pre-built filters ready to use out-of-the-box. Whenever the system finds a match, it flags the issue and even pinpoints the exact position of the offending text, making it easy for you to remove or replace just the problematic phrase or block the content entirely.
Profanity and Hate Speech
Swear words, slurs, and offensive language – including racist or discriminatory terms based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability – are automatically detected and flagged for review or removal.
Harassment and Insults
Text that targets individuals or groups with insults, bullying, or name-calling is caught by the filters to keep your community respectful.
Sexual or Explicit Content
Detector24 recognizes sexually explicit language, descriptions of sexual acts, or solicitations that may be inappropriate for your platform's audience.
Inappropriate Content & Slang
Even informal vulgar expressions, highly offensive slang, and other socially unacceptable terms are identified by our moderation engine.
Extreme or Violent Language
Threats of violence, including physical violence—especially those targeting children in school or school-related settings—self-harm indications, extremist slogans, and other dangerous speech can be filtered out to prevent escalation.
Additional Custom Categories
From references to drugs or weapons to other sensitive topics, Detector24's filters can be extended to cover any specific content category you require.
Detector24 analyzes documents against a comprehensive set of safety attributes and sensitive topics. For each detected issue, Detector24 assigns a likelihood or confidence score, helping you prioritize moderation actions and effectively detect content that may violate your policies. You have full flexibility to decide which categories of content should be blocked, flagged, or allowed, tailoring the moderation policy to your platform's needs.
Smart Filters That Prevent Evasion
What about users who try to circumvent your filters with creative tricks? Detector24 has you covered. Our smart filtering system uses advanced natural language processing and proprietary algorithms to detect even the sneakiest variations of forbidden content. Adversarial behavior—such as deliberate misspellings, coded language, memes, and character replacements—is commonly used by bad actors to evade moderation systems.
Users might try to obfuscate a swear word or slur with symbols, deliberate misspellings, or leetspeak (e.g. replacing letters with numbers or look-alike characters), but Detector24 will still recognize the intent behind the text.
Using contextual AI and pattern-matching, Detector24 can identify millions of possible variations for each banned word or phrase. For example, a user might insert random punctuation or spaces in a bad word ("I–n.appropriate w*ord"), use numeric substitutions ("l33t sp34k" for "leet speak"), or even write text backwards or upside-down. Detector24's smart filters catch them all – letter replacements, extra character insertions, phonetic tweaks, unicode disguises, you name it. This means attackers and trolls cannot easily bypass your moderation by simply altering the text. At the same time, the system is intelligent enough to avoid false positives, so normal innocent words won't get flagged just because they contain a certain substring.
By staying one step ahead of bad actors, Detector24 ensures that your content rules are enforced consistently. Even if someone tries to outsmart the filters, our AI-driven moderation won't be fooled. This smart filtering gives you peace of mind that the protective net over your community has no gaping holes. Regularly updating detection rules and filters is essential to keep up with evolving adversarial behavior and ensure ongoing effectiveness.

Protecting Personal Data and Privacy
In addition to filtering rude or toxic language, Detector24's text moderation also safeguards personal data. The system automatically detects and flags personally identifiable information (PII) that users might share in text – either intentionally or accidentally. Detector24 can also analyze a text file stored in your cloud or database to identify sensitive information before it is shared or processed.
Email Addresses
Any email address in the text (even if disguised as "name(at)domain(dot)com") will be identified.
Phone Numbers
Detector24 recognizes phone numbers from multiple countries and in various formats, helping you catch both local and international numbers shared publicly.
Physical Addresses and IDs
If users post something that looks like a street address or an identification number (e.g. a Social Security Number), it can be flagged for review.
IP Addresses
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are detected, so users cannot post technical identifiers that might compromise security.
Other Sensitive Info
Usernames, account numbers, or any other custom sensitive tokens can be caught by adding them to custom filters.
Protecting User Privacy and Ensuring Compliance
By detecting personal information, Detector24 helps you protect your users' privacy and prevent the sharing of private details in public forums. Detector24's machine learning models can process entire conversation history to better understand the context and intent behind shared information, improving accuracy in detecting nuanced cases.
This is crucial for user safety – for example, stopping a teenager from posting their phone number publicly where predators could see it, or preventing scammers from soliciting contact info. It also helps your platform maintain compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR by ensuring you're not inadvertently storing sensitive personal data that shouldn't be stored.
Blocking Spam and Malicious Links
Spam, scam, and malicious links are another threat to user-generated content platforms. Detector24's text moderation includes link detection and control features to help you manage when and how users share URLs. If a user attempts to post a web link, the system can automatically flag it or block it based on your rules.
This is extremely useful for preventing spammers from abusing your platform with unwanted advertisements or phishing scams. Spam messages often attempt to redirect users to a different platform, and Detector24 can detect and block these tactics.
You can decide exactly what kinds of links (if any) are permitted in your community. Detector24 allows you to implement custom whitelists and blacklists for URLs. For instance, you might choose to only allow links that point to your own website or a short list of approved domains. Any other URLs will be filtered out. Conversely, you could specifically ban known bad domains – such as those of your competitors or sites notorious for malware – by adding them to a blacklist for automatic blocking.
Even shortened URLs or cleverly camouflaged links won't slip through unnoticed. Detector24's link detection looks at the actual target of the URL and can catch common spam patterns (like suspicious use of URL shorteners in promotional text). By stopping malicious links and spam content at the door, you maintain a clean, trustworthy platform for your users. Detector24 can also identify and filter out completely incomprehensible or gibberish text, which is common in keyboard spam. You'll reduce nuisance content and potential security risks without needing to manually police every post.

Customizable Blacklists and Whitelists
Every platform has unique needs, and Detector24 recognizes that one size doesn't always fit all. That's why our text moderation solution offers extensive customization options – including the ability to create your own blacklists and whitelists of terms. In addition to the robust default filters, you can easily add any specific words or phrases that you want to block (or explicitly allow) on your platform.
API Dashboard Control
Detector24 supports custom user-provided filters that can be managed directly by users. These filters can be configured and maintained through the API dashboard, allowing you to manage them hands-on. The API also offers features like custom blocklists and adjustable sensitivity for fine control over your text moderation.
Just add the base term, and the system will automatically match common leetspeak, misspellings, or other obfuscations of that word.
Custom Blacklists
Add competitor names, specific slang terms, or any words unique to your community context
Custom Whitelists
Explicitly allow words that are innocuous in your community but might look offensive out of context
