How Do We Ensure That the Uploaded Content Is Food/Travel Related Only?

We implement image recognition models such as YOLO object detection models, a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model.

How to Prevent NSFW Content on Our Application?

We will require policy changes to consider this. Some subreddits contain grotesque content that is part of the food industry. If we include them in our application to cater to a larger audience, we would need to separate NSFW content from the application or recommendations for the general audience. This can be implemented like a filter on Reddit, using flags to stop triggers.

How to Stop Bullying on Body Image Issues and Other Forms of Harassment?

We can implement an advanced sentiment analysis model on comments to prevent harassment.

To counter the fact that the app may promote unhealthy food choices and their consumption, the following measures can be taken:

  1. Implement a feature to detect if the uploaded image is food or not, using image recognition and machine learning technologies.
  2. Provide nutritional information for each food item, including calorie count, macronutrients, and ingredients.
  3. Offer personalized recommendations for healthy food choices based on users' dietary preferences and goals.
  4. Encourage users to track their food intake and physical activity, providing tools to set goals and monitor progress.
  5. Provide educational resources on healthy eating habits and the importance of a balanced diet.
  6. Collaborate with health and wellness experts to offer advice and support to users.
  7. Implement moderation measures to prevent the posting of non-food related content, such as nudity or inappropriate images.
  8. Provide a reporting mechanism for users to flag any inappropriate or unhealthy content.
  9. Regularly review and update the app's features and content to ensure they align with the latest nutritional guidelines and research.
