Bumble is a social network for discovering and fostering healthy relationships – be it personal or professional. With over 35 million subscribers to its platform, it certainly has the responsibility for ensuring that the content on their social networking application is appropriate for all.
Recently, Bumble announced that it is going to ban all images of guns on its platform. Bumble has unequivocally stated that it is making an ardent effort to moderate the content on its platform to align with its values. Inappropriate sexual content and images that spur violence will be moderated on their platform. Not just newly uploaded but also previously uploaded ones. You can read the full statement here.
The Need for a Content Workflow
Bumble, like many other companies, are in the need of a content pipeline; a workflow of all the operations that must happen on a piece of content before it is deemed appropriate and ready for consumption by the audience of that content. Content can be moderated and filtered by manual processing, but using human capital for content curation is expensive and not very scalable. With millions of content items to process, the manual method of filtering quickly reaches its ceiling. The only scalable and consistent way to process large quantities of “prepared” content is by integrating with a platform that supports content workflows.
Content workflows can be described as a pipeline of tasks that must operate on the content to meet the requirements of the application. The content workflow will be different for the varied applications and the problems they solve. But in almost every case, content goes through a series of operations to make it ready for use within an application. Some of the workflow execution components are listed below:
- Access and ingest content
- Filtering
- Moderation
- Categorization
- Editorial reviews
- Transformation from one form to another
- Security verification (virus, malware detection and quarantine)
- Optimizations for size, performance and devices
- Analysis for insights
- Drive process automation using tailor-made machine learning models
- Integration with Content Delivery Networks
