Amanda – Aiba’s AI-powered chat filtering system ensures your game complies with COPPA by blocking unsafe content, removing personal data requests, and keeping transparent moderation records.
It works in real time, across languages, and gives you exportable reports to prove compliance, all without increasing moderation headcount.
