One Standard, No Exceptions
FilteredTube is built around one clear written standard that all videos must pass before they are added to the site. This standard is based on Jewish values and family-friendly content, and it is applied the same way for every video, whether it's a song, a clip, or a video from an artist. By using one standard, we ensure fairness and consistency for every viewer.
This standard is not subjective. It is written and applied by trained reviewers, who look for content that fits the guidelines. If a video doesn’t meet the standard, it is not added. This means no guessing, no exceptions, and no personal opinions influencing what families see. The goal is to keep the content safe, simple, and consistent for everyone.
Three Verdicts: Approved, On Hold, or Closed
Each video is reviewed and given one of three verdicts: Approved, On Hold, or Closed. Approved videos are added to the site and are available for streaming. On Hold videos are those where we are unsure about certain elements, and we need more time to evaluate them. These are not blocked but are not yet available for streaming.
Closed videos are those that do not meet the standard and are not added to the site at all. Once a video is closed, it remains closed. There are no future reviews or exceptions for these videos. This system helps keep the site clean and ensures that only videos that meet the standard are ever offered for viewing.
Doubt Hides: Better Safe Than Sorry
If there is any doubt about a video, it is not made available. We follow the principle that when in doubt, the video stays hidden until we can make a clear decision. This is part of our commitment to keeping the site safe for children and families. By erring on the side of caution, we avoid any potential issues before they can arise.
This approach means that even if a video seems okay on the surface, we won’t list it unless we’re confident it fully meets the standard. We understand that parents want to feel safe and in control, so our process is built to give them peace of mind without needing to second-guess what they see.
Closed Is Closed Forever
Once a video is closed, it is not re-reviewed. We do not change our minds or revisit decisions for videos that do not meet the standard. This ensures that all videos on FilteredTube are thoroughly vetted before they are ever approved. It also means that if a video is closed, it will remain closed permanently, and no one will have to worry about it reappearing later.
This policy supports our commitment to a consistent and trustworthy experience. Families can trust that the content on FilteredTube is not only approved once, but continues to meet the same high standard over time. We believe in transparency and long-term trust, which is why we close videos and keep them closed.
