Hi Product Hunt, I'm Benson, one of the co-founders of Hawkeye! 🚀 📲 What is Hawkeye? Hawkeye is an app that provides a robust user-driven reporting and alert system that works in 3 simple steps: first, users report predatory behavior with evidence, our team (supported by our advanced AI model) verifies the reports, and then data is used to create a public profile of the predator. Anyone can search up any user on Snapchat, Instagram, and Tinder to see their report history. 🔊 Why We Built This: Imagine this: you receive an Instagram DM with an AI deepfaked explicit image of you, your IP address, and a threat to share it throughout your circle. Well, this happened to my friends and me, yet Instagram dismissed it in minutes as it had "no guideline violations." This is the unfortunate reality for 1 in 5 young adults on social media by the over 500,000+ active predators online every day. Because there was no app on the market to address this, we took it into our own hands! 🛠️ Key Features: - Search: see other user's "risk score". With Hawkeye Premium, you can see all their full reports (details, dates, and more) - Report: file reports (with evidence) of suspicious online behavior - Personal Dashboard: keep track of the reports against you - Appeal: see a false report? Send an appeal What are your thoughts? Share your feedback, questions, or suggestions below, or connect with us on our socials!

@benson_huang interesting product... I can certainly see the need, but I also see a dilemma when it comes to the profit motive and the potential for abuse. For example, abuse is a pretty subjective matter — do you have a set of published community guidelines that define what you consider abuse? Your website also states that "1/5 children receive unwanted sexual advances online", yet you charge to access your red flags database, limited the use of your platform to people who can pay (i.e. parents?). Who do you imagine will be your ultimate customers for this product, and do they have the ability to pay?

Hawkeye is tackling an incredibly important issue with a smart, community-driven approach. Giving users the power to report and verify predatory behavior while maintaining transparency with appeals is a solid framework. Social platforms have been slow to act on these threats, so having an independent tool like this could make a real impact. Wishing you all the best in refining and scaling this! And sending lots of wins to the makers :) @benson_huang

@whatshivamdo Thank you so much! You bring up a great point-- we actually came up with Hawkeye in response to social platforms' slow action to threats like these. Thanks again for the encouragement :)

minimalist phone: creating folders

This is such a good idea. IMO, this should to the social media itself but it seems that they do not care so much (yeah, they have some parental controls program but I think that it is not enough).

Great product! What role does the "AI" play in this product? Is it a proprietary system or another service?

@b_h15 Our computer vision model developed in collaboration with Microsoft Azure creates transcripts of vetted screen-recordings and streamlines the review process for our social workers. We save data read/write space and only have our social workers review text files instead of whole videos/

I adore this product. As a parent, despite best efforts, its hard to trust the safety of your child online. Given the nature of this threat, I think the data is actually under-reported due to embarrassment and worry on the part of the victims. I hope that the aggregation of the predator behavior helps to create some accountability and increased online safety. At least, I feel confident that it will help victims understand that they are not alone and they are not at fault.
