Abstract
Social media has revolutionized the way people communicate, but it also comes with risks such as the proliferation of misinformation and cyberbullying and violations of community guidelines. To address these concerns, we propose the development of a social networking platform, called SocialEcho, which leverages a combination of advanced filtering techniques and third-party API services, to ensure that all user-generated content complies with established community guidelines. Our platform built using modern tools to create a regulated and safe space for online communication that promotes responsible and respectful interactions among users. In addition, we have implemented an NLP-based feature that automatically categorizes user posts into different channels, enabling users to easily find and engage with content that aligns with their interests. Through these features, SocialEcho enhances the user experience and promotes a more organized and structured community.
