# Profanity Censor (experimental)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that this is a research preview of our profanity censoring model 
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Fastino’s Profanity Censor model is designed to detect and redact profane, vulgar, or inappropriate language from user-generated content in real time. It offers developers precise control over content moderation, brand safety, and community standards enforcement—without compromising latency or accuracy. The model works in a zero-shot fashion and supports adjustable sensitivity via a configurable confidence threshold.

When enabled, redaction replaces offensive terms with a placeholder token (\<REDACTED\_PROFANITY>), making it easy to sanitize text before storage, display, or analysis.

## Example Use Cases

* Censoring offensive language in chat apps, forums, or comment sections
* Filtering user reviews, feedback, or customer messages for brand compliance
* Pre-processing content before display in moderated environments (e.g., educational tools, gaming platforms)
* Enabling profanity-aware search, analytics, or sentiment analysis
* Preventing toxic input in LLM-based assistant pipelines or content creation tools
