Filtering and Flagging
Filtering and flagging doesn't apply to messages sent by parents that administer a Gabb Account. When any content that is considered potentially harmful to kids is detected, parents are alerted. Flagged messages give parents the ability to assess the situation and help identify and address harmful behavior. Flagged content includes:
- Flags potential nudity detected during video calls and disables video calling
- Flags high-risk* content detected in sent or received messages
- Flags sent and received images potentially containing nudity
- Flags all external links from known or unknown contacts
- Blocks potentially high-risk, explicit content sent from unknown contacts
*High risk content can include images and/or text identified as bullying, grooming, abusive, or sexual in nature.
