As well as a set of blocked search terms, we also leverage a best-in-class machine learning platform, which scans our existing collection of millions of photos and graphics to identify, flag, and remove access to “not safe for school” content for Canva Education users. Our collections are reviewed by a human content moderator to check compliance with our “not safe for school” definitions.
