LiveTube prioritizes real-time reporting to ensure authenticity. All streams go through an initial verification process by our advanced AI system, followed by a review by a newsroom producer. A 30-second broadcast delay allows our team to moderate content and ensure it adheres to LiveTube’s rules. Producers can intervene to stop a broadcast if it violates our content guidelines or poses safety risks. For more on this process, visit How We Choose LiveTubes and read more about our approach in the About LiveTube section.
