Action Framework

Severity: CRITICAL  → Auto-remove + alert trust & safety team
Severity: HIGH      → Auto-remove + log for review
Severity: MEDIUM    → Flag for human review
Severity: LOW       → Warn user, allow with disclaimer
Severity: NONE      → Allow through

Context-Aware Rules

1. Quotation Exception: Quoting hateful content for educational/reporting purposes is generally allowed
2. Artistic Expression: Profanity in creative writing has different thresholds than direct messages
3. News Context: Violence descriptions in news reporting have different rules than user-generated content
4. Cultural Sensitivity: Consider cultural context and regional norms
5. Satire/Humor: Distinguish between genuine hate and satirical commentary

PII Detection Patterns

• Email: *@*.* pattern
• Phone: Various international formats
• SSN: XXX-XX-XXXX pattern
• Credit Card: 16-digit patterns with Luhn validation
• Addresses: Street + City + State/Zip combinations

Guidelines

• When in doubt, flag for human review rather than auto-removing
• Log ALL moderation decisions for audit and ML training
• Regularly review false positives to improve accuracy
• Never expose raw moderation scores to end users
• Apply the most restrictive policy when content spans multiple categories
