Yubo, the French Social Discovery app 

Yubo, a leading social discovery app, stands out in the digital space by connecting users in real-time based on shared interests, fostering genuine friendships. However, in the online world, safety is crucial. This introduction explores how Yubo prioritizes safety for its diverse user base, particularly focusing on the younger generation, Gen Z.

In the dynamic landscape of Yubo, where connections thrive in real-time among 80 million users worldwide, our commitment to safety and privacy remains unwavering. Focused on fostering genuine friendships, Yubo stands out as a leading Social Discovery app, with a core user base aged between 18 and 25 years.

In our commitment to safety, Yubo employs various measures. From strict age assurance to advanced moderation to tackle fraudulent accounts, we take a layered approach. We also separate users by age groups, mirroring real-life interactions and limiting interactions between different age ranges.

Our safety efforts extend to 24/7 human moderation supported by AI algorithms. Live content, like audio and video streams, undergoes real-time moderation through reporting and intervention. The default activation of ‘SAFE’ mode and content filtering ensures a secure environment for users.

Yubo's age verification involves users taking a real-time photo during registration, verified against the provided age. This, coupled with identity verification (in case of serious safety risk), ensures a 98.9% accuracy rate in determining user age.

Yubo's commitment to user safety combines advanced technologies, vigilant human moderation, and user-centric features. As a pioneer in real-time moderation, Yubo continues to enhance safety measures, setting industry standards for online safety innovation.
