7. How does Virtunus identify content that violates Privacy and safety?

With a lot of content uploaded every day, and to detect harmful content at scale, we utilize a combination of people and machine intelligence. Machine learning is good at spotting patterns, allowing us to locate content that is similar to stuff we’ve already eliminated, even before it is viewed.

We also understand that the best method to delete information fast is to anticipate issues before they occur. Our Intelligence Desk keeps an eye on the news, social media, and user reports for emerging trends related to inappropriate content and strives to ensure that our teams are ready to address them before they become a bigger problem.

The following content categories are identified as harmful and inappropriate for promotion by Virtunus Inc. Let’s have a look at them.

1. Spam, deceptive practices, & scams
2. Sensitive contents
   a. Nudity and sexual content
   b. Suicide and self-injury
   c. Vulgar language  
3. Violent or dangerous content
   a. Harassment and Cyber-bullying
   b. Harmful or dangerous content
   c. Hate speech
   d. Violent criminal organizations
   e. Violent or graphic content 
4. Regulated goods
   a. Firearms
   b. Sale of illegal or regulated goods or services

8. What steps does Virtunus take for content that violates Privacy Policy?

Machine learning technologies assist us in automatically detecting and removing spam, as well as removing re-uploads of content that has already been evaluated and declared to be in violation of our regulations.

Following a review by qualified human reviewers, Virtunus takes action on other problematic contents. They determine whether the content is in violation of our policies. On the other hand, they safeguard educational, documentary, scientific, and artistic contents for global benefit.

Our review teams eliminate anything that violates our policies as well as content that is age-restricted and may not be suitable for all audiences. The feedback from reviewers is subsequently used to train and strengthen our systems’ accuracy on a much bigger scale.

*** More importantly, anyone can contact us instantly if he/she finds or thinks a content harmful and inappropriate for the entire community. Virtunus review teams will instantly take actions to evaluate the fact, and then will go for removing the content permanently if it’s malicious. ***
