ActiveFence's integration via Agora's Extensions Marketplace
enables developers to easily add real-time audio and video content
moderation to any application.
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a pioneer and leading platform
for real-time engagement (RTE), today announced a partnership with
ActiveFence, integrating their leading Trust and Safety Solution
with Agora's Voice and Video SDKs through Agora's Extensions
Marketplace. This integration allows developers to easily add live
audio and video content moderation into their RTE applications.
ActiveFence is the premier provider of AI-driven content detection
and moderation via their SaaS platform. The solution keeps end
users safe from the widest spectrum of online harms, unwanted
content, and malicious behavior, including adult content, bullying
& harassment, child exploitation, hate speech, illegal goods,
violence, and more.
"Real-time engagement applications should provide a safe and
inclusive experience for users of all backgrounds to connect and
interact," said Tony Zhao, CEO and
Co-Founder of Agora. "Our partnership with ActiveFence enables
developers to rapidly integrate real-time video and audio content
moderation into their applications to ensure safe and meaningful
interactions for all users."
Trust and safety is critical for platforms designed to drive
user engagement and real-time interactions. Greater reliance on
digital communications and experiences has inadvertently led to an
increase in abusive content and inappropriate behavior online. A
robust strategy is needed to mitigate these incidents and align
with new regulations like the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA),
which sets reporting mandates for non-VLOPs (Very Large Online
Platforms) and requires full compliance by 2024. Agora's
partnership with ActiveFence is a proactive response to these
trends, offering customers a comprehensive pathway to meet
compliance needs while promoting safe and engaging user
experiences.
"Communities thrive in safe and trusted environments online—even
more so with real time video and voice. It drives engagement," said
Noam Schwartz, CEO and Co-Founder of
ActiveFence. "Together, Agora and ActiveFence will not only provide
for safer online experiences but help the next generation
interactive apps meet the growing compliance needs with new global
regulation and legislation like the EU's Digital Services Act
(DSA)."
ActiveFence's content moderation tools can be easily
incorporated into the existing developer console and workflow on
Agora's platform. This allows developers to add live audio and
video content moderation functionality to their applications
easily, without significant alterations to their development
processes. The result is a practical, user-focused solution to
handle emerging online safety and compliance challenges.
The new video and audio content moderation will be made
available starting for free for up to 10,000 protected minutes, and
some of the industry's most competitive pricing. ActiveFence Video
Content Moderation is now available in public beta on Agora's
Extensions Marketplace.
