   Why We Pre-Screen Content
   Our primary goal is to create a space where users can share and access content that is both legal and adheres to our community standards. Pre-screening serves several crucial purposes:

   Legal Compliance: We must ensure that content uploaded to our website complies with applicable laws and regulations. This includes avoiding any material that could be considered illegal, such as hate speech, or other unlawful activities.
   Upholding Community Standards: Beyond legal requirements, we have established community standards to foster a respectful and safe environment. Pre-screening helps us enforce these standards, preventing the publication of content that could be harmful, offensive, or inappropriate for our user base.
   Protecting Users: By reviewing content before it goes live, we can prevent the dissemination of material that could potentially harm our users, whether through misinformation, explicit under-aged content, or other violations of our guidelines.
