Content Identification

Content identification is a process used by platforms to recognize and verify specific types of media—such as music, videos, or images—that users upload or share. By comparing the content against a database of known examples, the system can determine if something is copyrighted, inappropriate, or requires special handling. This helps ensure that content is used legally and appropriately, such as preventing copyright infringement or flagging harmful material. Essentially, it's a way for digital services to automatically understand and manage the media they host, maintaining a safe and lawful environment for users.
