How real-time moderation works

  1. Connect your channels

    Sence connects directly to Facebook and Instagram through the Facebook Graph API, and to YouTube through the YouTube Data API, so moderation happens where the comments actually live. There is no manual export and no batch processing.

  2. Every comment read on arrival

    Each comment and direct message is classified as it lands, against the taxonomy your team defined rather than a generic toxicity score. Classification keeps pace with arrival, so a spike does not become a backlog.

  3. Hidden, flagged or left alone

    Anything that breaches your rules is hidden before your audience sees it. Anything borderline is flagged for a person instead. Your team can hide, delete, notify or reply, and lock down comments on any post in one move when a pile-on starts.

What your team can do with it

Everything your team needs for moderation in one place.

Sence moderates in real time, hiding anything that breaches your rules as it arrives, on comments and on direct messages, 24/7.

Run fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual. Human review is available at any classification point, so your team takes the judgement calls and nothing else waits on them.

Spam and scams are the largest single category of harmful comment at 37% of everything Sence flags. In direct messages it is quarantined rather than left for someone to wade through.

When a pile-on starts on one post, your team can lock down comments on that post in a single move, without touching the rest of the channel.

Detection is not the end of it. Sence flags the risk and gives your team the actions: hide it, delete it, notify someone, or answer it.

Every decision is logged with its classification, the action taken and the reasoning, so nothing about a moderated post has to be reconstructed from memory.

Frequently asked questions

Comments on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, plus direct messages on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Every comment and message is read on arrival, anything that breaches your rules is hidden, and your team gets one place to see, moderate and respond across every channel.

Yes, on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Messages are read on arrival exactly as comments are, spam is quarantined rather than left sitting in the inbox, and anything that breaches your rules is handled the same way.

Comments are read on arrival rather than on a schedule, and abuse is hidden in seconds, even at the level a final or a breaking story pushes a comment section to. Nothing sits waiting for someone to open a tab at 9am.

Sence does not ship a default classifier, so no generic toxicity threshold is making that call. Yours is built from your own moderation decisions and your own policy taxonomy, which is what produces fewer false positives and fewer missed violations than a generic model. When your team does correct a decision, the correction feeds back into the classifier.

Yes. Every moderation decision is logged with its classification, the action taken and the reasoning, so your team can see what was hidden and why. That record is what you put in front of a legal team, a board or a platform when someone asks what happened on a post.
