The common purpose of this technology is to prevent harm before it happens by detecting inappropriate content and preventing other players from seeing it. All major console makers implement filters across game, social and/or account set-up experiences.

Anti-Grooming Technology
This machine-learning technology is used to detect, address and report online predators who attempt to lure other players
