Can AI moderation handle multiple languages?

Yes, but performance varies. Train models on local languages and dialects and use human reviewers for nuanced cases.

How do I prevent AI from over-censoring?

Regularly audit AI decisions, adjust thresholds and allow users to appeal. Transparency is key.

What about user privacy?

Moderation systems should anonymise data where possible and comply with regional data protection laws.
