A moderation policy built for AI-generated content
When users can generate content at scale, you need clear rules and a defensible process for removing what crosses the line. This generator turns a short description of your platform into a content moderation policy covering prohibited categories, how you detect violations (automated plus human review), how removals are explained, and how users appeal — with optional DSA-style notice-and-action and DMCA-style copyright sections. It builds the document in your browser; nothing you enter leaves the page.
How it works
You describe your platform, the content users create, and your audience, then select which categories you prohibit (illegal content, harassment, sexual content, hate speech, misinformation, spam, IP infringement, and more) and which controls you use. The tool assembles a structured policy: scope, prohibited content, automated and human moderation, statements of reasons for removals, an appeals process, and — if selected — notice-and-action and copyright takedown sections. A copy button hands you the finished text for your terms or help center.
What a content moderation policy must actually contain
A policy that is just a list of prohibited things is not enough. Courts, regulators, and angry users all ask the same question: what happened after the violation was reported? The policy generated here covers the full chain:
Scope — which content, which features, and which users the policy applies to. AI-generated content platforms need to be explicit that the rules apply to outputs produced with assistance from the platform’s own generative tools, not just user-typed text.
Prohibited categories — the clearest, most specific list you can write. “Harmful content” is not a rule. “Content that contains credible threats of violence against a named individual” is a rule. The generator produces specific language for each category you select.
Detection and enforcement — which combinations of automated detection and human review you use, and for which severity levels each applies. A policy that says “we may remove content” but does not say how it is identified gives users no predictability and gives regulators nothing to audit.
Statements of reasons — when you remove content, users and in some cases regulators expect a reason. Under the EU Digital Services Act this is a legal requirement for many platforms. The generated policy includes a template for removal notices.
Appeals — a real, workable internal appeals path. Users must be able to contest a removal; the policy sets the timeline and process. Where the DSA applies, out-of-court dispute resolution must also be signposted.
Copyright handling — if selected, a DMCA-style notice-and-takedown section covering the claim form, designated agent contact, counter-notice rights, and your repeat-infringer policy.
AI-generated content raises specific moderation challenges
Generative features let one user produce in seconds what would have taken a team hours manually. This changes the economics of abuse: spam, synthetic media, coordinated inauthentic content, and mass impersonation all become cheaper to produce. Your policy should explicitly address:
- Whether AI-generated content must be disclosed or labelled
- How you treat AI-generated content that mimics a real person’s voice or image
- The rate limits or friction you apply to generation to deter mass abuse
Tips and notes
- Be specific about categories. Vague rules are hard to enforce and easy to challenge.
- Always provide an appeal. A clear, fast appeals route is both fair and a legal expectation for many platforms.
- Layer your enforcement. Automate the clear cases; escalate ambiguous or high-impact ones to humans.
- Confirm your scope. Larger or EU-facing platforms have extra duties — have counsel review.
