What is the process for vetting submitted uploads?
We automatically filter and block content containing prohibited words and unacceptable recorded content through content recognition technology. Then, part-time editors on duty around the clock will screen all uploads one by one. Full time editors will monitor all content during office hours. We have also been developing technology toward content screening over the last two years, including video (MD5 fingerprinting) and picture- and text content-recognition technology. These technologies help us to screen out inappropriate content and prioritize potential risk levels for all content. Based on this input, our team of reviewers, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in 3 shifts, will screen all content before it appears on Youku.
