The problem NO BANANAS solves

People have abandoned these virtual video chat room spaces due to undesired content that can suddenly appear in someone else's stream. NO BANANAS fights for a safe internet.

Inappropriate Content in Live Streams
Live streaming platforms often struggle with moderating content in real-time. Inappropriate or offensive material can appear unexpectedly, exposing viewers to potentially harmful content. NOBANANAS uses AI to detect and censor such material instantly, ensuring a safer viewing experience.

Lack of Real-Time Moderation
Traditional content moderation often relies on user reports and manual review, which can't keep pace with live streams. NOBANANAS introduces an automated, real-time solution that proactively identifies and censors unwanted content before it can disrupt the stream.

User Safety and Comfort
Viewers and creators alike seek environments where they feel safe and respected. Inappropriate content can alienate audiences, deter participation, andP harm the platform's reputation. By creating a more controlled environment, NOBANANAS enhances user comfort and safety.
