Clipstar Protects The Young

Social video site uses technology to stop grooming.

Clipstar, the social video site currently in beta, is using an Anti-Grooming Engine from Crisp Thinking to stop thegrooming of young people by pedophiles.   The Anti-Grooming Engine analyzes chat to discover potential dangers of grooming and bullying in both content and context.   “Crisp can beconfigured to monitor many thousands of interactions simultaneously. It watches out for suspicious behaviour and conversation patterns, assesses and ranks risks and alerts a moderator or a parentwhenever the threat level rises and an under-18 may be in danger. The system is flexible, scalable and uncannily accurate in pinpointing grooming risks. In urgent cases, families can be alerted bytext messages and emails and the social network site can put an immediate block on the offending adult’s account,” Crisp Thinking explained on its site.
