• Abstract: Live video streaming is increasingly popular on social media platforms. With the growth of live streaming comes an increased need for robust content moderation to remove dangerous, illegal, or otherwise objectionable content. Whereas video on demand distribution enables offline content analysis, live streaming imposes restrictions on latency for both analysis and distribution. In this paper, we present extensions to the in-progress Media Over QUIC Transport protocol that enable real-time content moderation in one-to-many video live streams. Importantly, our solution removes only the video segments that contain objectionable content, allowing playback resumption as soon as the stream conforms to content policies again. Content analysis tasks may be transparently distributed to arbitrary client devices. We implement and evaluate our system in the context of light strobe removal for photosensitive viewers, finding that streaming clients experience an increased latency of only one group-of-pictures duration.

• Implementing an Optimized and Secured Multimedia Streaming Protocol in a Participatory Sensing Scenario [0.0]
  Crowdsensing can distribute information about shared video contents among multiple users in network. Crowdsensing introduces several security constraints that must be taken into account to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. In this article, we will discuss the use of a symmetric AES-CTR encryption based protocol for securing data streaming over a crowd-sensed network.

  Digital Services Act (DSA) requires large social media platforms in the EU to provide clear and specific information whenever they restrict access to certain content. Statements of Reasons (SoRs) are collected in the DSA Transparency Database to ensure transparency and scrutiny of content moderation decisions. We empirically analyze 156 million SoRs within an observation period of two months to provide an early look at content moderation decisions of social media platforms in the EU.

  Livestream tutorial videos are usually hours long, recorded, and uploaded to the Internet directly after the live sessions, making it hard for other people to catch up quickly. An outline will be a beneficial solution, which requires the video to be temporally segmented according to topics. We propose LiveSeg, an unsupervised Livestream video temporal solution, which takes advantage of multimodal features from different domains.
