The Rising Popularity of Social Media
The content moderation solutions market is being fueled due to an upsurge in internet accessibility, growth of the e-commerce industry, and proliferating penetration of smart devices such as tablets and smartphones in emerging economies. Developing countries are receiving government support for the development of electronic infrastructure, which includes Internet connectivity. As such, anybody can create content and upload it with a single click, making it accessible to all. This gives rise to the increasing need to moderate this content, as the same content may not be suitable for all kinds of audiences. This is expected to create new opportunities for the growth of the content moderation solutions market during the coming years.
Failure of artificial intelligence in the identification and moderation of content in certain aspects
AI can be easily duped, and machines lack the ability to apply subjectivity and are unable to consider societal context before making a decision to keep or remove content. Content moderation plays a uniquely critical role for businesses with a growing multilingual and multicultural client base. If inappropriate content in the source language sneaks past the algorithms on any of the company's social media platforms, it could likely find its way into the machine translation (MT) data. If that happens, not only will there be inappropriate content published in the source language, but it will now be published in one or more target languages.
Moreover, algorithms are trained using vast datasets, and robust data is often not available in less commonly spoken languages. As a result, harmful content that is spread in these languages, which often targets minority communities, must be manually flagged by users, who are often victims of the harmful speech itself.
Therefore, failure of artificial intelligence and the multi-language barrier in the identification and moderation of content in certain aspects may be factors restraining the market growth.
