Deledao announces innovative Zoom and Meet bombing solution


New feature helps safeguard distance and hybrid learning from inappropriate image and video intrusion

Providing added safety measures and control of K12 distance and hybrid learning instructional models, Silicon Valley based-Deledao (www.deledao.com), has announced a powerful new feature to its industry-recognized AI filtering capabilities.  With this feature, school districts and parents will now be able to safeguard online instruction occurring via videoconferencing platforms by mitigating bombing of pornographic and related inappropriate images and video.

“I have a young daughter that’s in distance learning right now. I found out that some of her friends were sharing their screen on Zoom for websites that she wasn’t allowed to go to,” said Shuang Ji, co-founder and CEO of Deledao. “We know Zoom Bombing happens so thankfully this time was harmless, but what if? That’s what we’re all worried about. What if?”

Deledao’s bombing mitigation:

  • Analyzes pornographic and inappropriate video and images that may be bombed or shared by Zoom or Meet users via webcam, screen sharing, IM/chat, Google Docs or similar files.
  • Identifies pornographic and inappropriate pictures to blur them in real time.
  • Detects inappropriate video frames in real time, blurring and muting the video until the inappropriate scene is over.

Issues involving inappropriate images and videos being bombed into K12 student distance learning classes have been well-documented since many schools were forced to move to an iteration of remote learning.  This safety feature provides added security measures for school administration and instructional staff currently struggling with methods of ensuring student distance learning instructional time remains uninterrupted from intrusion by uninvited bombers.

Co-founding Deledao in 2018, Ji is no stranger to this segment of the technology market.  As co-inventor of proxy scanning and filtering technology in 1996, his work led to the creation of the first network filtering product on the market, InterScan.  With slight modifications that have been made in the two decades since, this technology still serves as the base for many filtering applications to this day.  Created for a ‘90s internet comprised of coherent, organization-owned content, this technology simply wasn’t built for today’s internet, rendering it ineffective in protecting children on a web that finds user-generated, social media and dynamic infinite-scrolling content pages commonplace.

“The internet of today is not like the internet back in the ’90s,” said Ji. “People can upload and share anything online these days and our children are paying the price. No one could’ve predicted the pandemic and the resulting transition to distance learning. The dangers have changed and we have to adapt our response accordingly.”
