Hello hackers!
I am Vlad, and I built SpamLabs: an API that analyzes social media like content to determine whether that content is spam or not.
All anti-spam services nowadays focus mainly on email (filters and such).
SpamLabs doesn't want to be an email filter, but a filter for any user generated content out there.
If you have a business or product that accepts user generated content, there is a high chance you'll get fake users pushing all kind of spam messages.
With an integration to the SpamLabs API, you can get some insights whether the generated content is clearly spam and needs to be removed, or it is legit content coming from legit users.
I am also exploring creating plugins for various content platforms that work with user generated content (Slack, Discord, Wordpress, Shopify, maybe even Facebook Groups). Not 100% sure about which one has more potential yet, I am still investigating this possibility.
Let me know what you think!

Then why is it all just about email then? - "Try it out" validates the email for some reason? "DNS_TRUSTED_MX" "DNS_HAS_SPF" "What differentiates us from other anti-spam services?" is all about email "we analyze [...] email infrastrcture (e.g if their email serer is hosted by Cisco, [...] if their email is hosted on DigitalOcean" "we look at the ownership of the domains and ips involved in their email chain" "we look at the email technologies they use 8spf,dkim,dmarc)" "we have an ever expanding list of whitelisted and blacklisted domains and emails" "we crawl all major disposable email providers" - I see nothing that determines if UGC is spam or not?
