Content Safety at Loclie
Protecting our community with multi-layered AI moderation. Every post and comment is checked automatically before it appears.
The 3-layer safety pipeline
Content passes through three independent safety checks. Each layer catches what the others might miss.
Layer 1: Instant Keyword Filtering
~0msBlocks explicit content, slurs, and grooming patterns before anything else runs. A curated blocklist catches the most harmful content instantly.
Zero latency. No network calls. Content is rejected before it reaches any database.
Layer 2: AI Content Analysis
~200msOpenAI classifies content across categories: hate speech, harassment, sexual content, violence, and self-harm. Nuanced detection catches content that keyword lists miss.
Understands context and intent. Catches coded language, dogwhistles, and subtle harassment.
Layer 3: Enhanced School Protection
~300msLlama Guard 3 — a purpose-built safety classifier — adds an additional layer for groups where minors are present. Specifically trained on child safety scenarios.
Only activated for school groups. Catches edge cases the other layers might miss.
How it works
Automatic checking
Every post and comment is checked automatically before it appears. No manual review queue, no delay for safe content.
Instant rejection
Flagged content is rejected instantly with a clear message explaining why. Users know immediately — no ambiguity.
Server-side enforcement
The system runs server-side. It cannot be bypassed from the client, disabled by browser extensions, or circumvented by tech-savvy users.
School-specific protections
Schools get additional safeguards beyond the standard pipeline. Technology and human oversight, working together.
- All 3 Layers Active
School groups get the full pipeline — keyword filtering, AI analysis, and Llama Guard protection on every post and comment.
- Staff-Appointed Moderators
School staff appoint group moderators for human oversight. Technology and people working together.
- Membership-Gated Groups
Only approved members can see or post content. Invite codes control who joins. No public access to school group content.
- Content Invisible to Outsiders
Non-members cannot see school group posts, comments, or member lists. School content stays within the school community.
Built for regional Australia
Loclie is built for regional Australian communities. We take the safety of minors seriously — not as an afterthought, but as a foundational requirement. Our content safety system was designed from day one, not bolted on later.
