⚖️ Content Moderation for Social Media
Moderation of content online is a complex and critical problem. We'd love to see a service that can provide metadata on video assets to help with content moderation, so an application can use it in combination of the current Livepeer streaming API. One idea is a service that detects NSFW and CSAM content and create attestations. Another idea is to implment Matrix-style decentralized / federated moderation tools with Livepeer and Lens or Bluesky : https://matrix.org/docs/guides/moderation
👯 Interactive Live Streaming
Livepeer's new multi-participant live streaming feature (beta*) allows anyone to build an "Twitter Spaces" or "Instagram Live" style application, where a group can join an audio/video room that interact in real time, and broadcast it to a bigger audience. We want to see applications that leverage web3 building blocks to create token incentives around interactive live experiences.
