Development Background

Defamation and slander on SNS have become major social issues, with the power to significantly change an individual's life. DYSTOPIA was developed with the goal of using AI as an impartial observer to prevent both intentional and unintentional defamation, protecting users not only from "being hurt" but also from the experience of "hurting someone else."

Main Features

1. Automatic AI Censorship: AI analyzes post content and detects inappropriate expressions such as defamation and slander.
2. Automatic Conversion to Appropriate Expressions: Posts containing inappropriate expressions are automatically converted by AI into appropriate expressions.
3. Member Participation in Refining AI Censorship Rules: Monthly subscription members can view, vote on, and propose AI censorship rules, helping to refine DYSTOPIA's censorship rules into more appropriate ones.

Service Motif

DYSTOPIA is heavily influenced by George Orwell's dystopian science fiction novel "1984." While paying homage to totalitarian ideology and the absolute authority figure "BIG BROTHER," the service also serves as a social experiment exploring how "AI censorship" affects people's communication.

Notes Regarding the Service

Last Updated: December 26, 2025 Applicable Period: Issues noted during beta operation around September-October 2023 Purpose of This Page: To organize the limitations and operational policies at that time as primary information

On DYSTOPIA, there are cases where posts are displayed without being converted. DYSTOPIA's AI conversion is not a mechanism that definitively judges post content, but rather an estimation process based on certain rules and probabilities.

AI conversion has the following limitations:

• Misrecognition of context-dependent expressions (sarcasm, quotes, memes, etc.)
• Difficulty in handling slang and neologisms
• Cases where the boundary of what is inappropriate is ambiguous Due to these factors, "detection oversights" may occur where intended conversions are not performed.

If a post has not been converted, it is a detection oversight and does not mean that the operators have judged the content as appropriate. Non-conversion may occur due to technical limitations, and it does not indicate approval of such content.

Operational Policy

Our company does not condone content that damages the safety or dignity of others, including discrimination, violence, glorification of crime, personal attacks, or harassment. AI conversion is one mechanism aimed at achieving this goal, but it does not guarantee complete detection.
