Content classifiers

The type of content that Social Media Check analyses falls in to 7 classification groups and remains the same regardless of the social platform. The 7 classifiers are: extremist groups, swearing and profanity, negative statement, hate speech, violent images, potential nudity and toxic language.

It’s easy to forget what I posted in my teens and I was shocked at what the report found, it certainly doesn’t represent me now! Happily with one click those comments and posts are gone for good and I can be confident of my online profile thanks to Social Media Check.
