Gonna need some rigorous moderating and safeguards.
ReplyDeleteMuch more detail here. At first glance, this seems to be well thought out.

Interesting. I'll investigate more later, but I'm curious how they avoid the obvious griefers.
ReplyDeleteJohn Lewis Looks like no free-text entry (all canned responses and "likes" and build photo submissions) with heavy emphasis on both manual and AI-supported image filtering.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of enforced random username, no text, emphasis on emojis, and heavy screening of images, all cover the most obvious challenges that I can think of for a child-centric service. The implementation might still fall down at some point (e.g. if the photo screening isn't as good as indicated), but the basic design seems sound.
