Build 'ContextGuard'—a multimodal, privacy-preserving radicalization detection engine designed for real-time communication platforms. Instead of simple keyword blocking, it uses small-language models (SLMs) running on-edge to analyze conversational context, sentiment shifts, and visual memes in voice/video streams to identify 'radicalization funnels.' It provides platforms with an automated 'Safety Audit Trail' required for congressional testimony, proving proactive mitigation without storing user data.

"US House Oversight Committee summons CEOs of Discord, Twitch, Reddit to testify on online radicalization"
The Workflow Friction
Community-driven platforms (Discord, Twitch, decentralized protocols) lack the centralized moderation infrastructure of legacy social media. Congressional scrutiny creates an existential threat: platforms must prove they are mitigating 'politically motivated violence' or face breakup/bans. Current keyword-based filters fail to detect nuanced radicalization narratives in voice chats, gaming streams, and image-heavy contexts, leaving platforms legally exposed.
