We're introducing comprehensive anti-harassment tools to protect our community. Everyone deserves a safe online experience, and today we're taking significant steps to make that a reality with our most advanced safety features yet.

Online harassment remains a critical challenge. Recent research shows that 46% of U.S. teens reported experiencing at least one form of cyberbullying in 2022, and UNICEF surveys found that 1 in 3 young people globally have been bullied online. These aren't just statistics: they represent real people whose digital experiences have been marred by harassment, intimidation, and abuse.

At Tanqory, we believe technology that brings people together must also protect them. That's why we've developed a comprehensive suite of AI-powered anti-harassment tools designed to detect, prevent, and respond to harmful behavior before it escalates.

Advanced AI-Powered Protection

Intelligent Content Detection

Our machine learning models continuously monitor for harmful content using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques:

Real-Time Analysis: Every message, comment, and post is analyzed instantly using neural networks trained on millions of examples of harmful content
High Accuracy: Our ensemble models combining Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, and XGBoost achieve 92% accuracy in identifying harassment, hate speech, and offensive messages
Context-Aware: The system understands nuance, context, and cultural differences to minimize false positives while catching genuine threats
Multilingual Support: Detection works across 50+ languages, ensuring global protection

Deepfake and Synthetic Media Detection

As AI-generated harassment becomes more sophisticated, our defenses have evolved:

Detection of AI-generated deepfake videos and images used for harassment
Voice-cloning identification to prevent impersonation attacks
Bot-driven harassment campaign detection and prevention
Algorithmically generated hate speech identification

Behavioral Pattern Analysis

We go beyond individual messages to identify concerning patterns:

Repeat Offender Detection: Track users who consistently engage in harassment across the platform
Coordinated Harassment: Identify and stop organized harassment campaigns involving multiple accounts
Escalation Monitoring: Recognize when interactions are becoming more hostile and intervene early
At-Risk User Identification: Proactively identify users who may be experiencing sustained harassment
