About Priya
Priya is the second pair of eyes on every article. Before something goes live she checks each claim about privacy, data retention, age verification, content limits and billing against the platform’s own terms and against a live account.
She spent nine years in trust and safety and content-policy work at consumer social and dating apps, writing moderation guidelines and handling escalations. That background shapes how this site talks about consent: as a mechanic you test (does the AI honour a stop word, does it pull back on a hard limit), not a disclaimer.
She files deletion requests to see whether chats actually disappear, notes which platforms train on user conversations, and flags any tool that blurs fiction and real-world harm. A platform that fails her checks drops in the rankings, however popular it is.

How Priya tests
- 1
Claims checked against the terms
Every statement about privacy, retention, training on chats or age checks is matched to the platform’s current terms and policy.
- 2
Live-account verification
Where the terms are vague, the behaviour is checked on a real account: what the age gate asks, what the billing descriptor shows.
- 3
Deletion test
Chats and accounts are deleted through the normal flow and the platform is checked again to see what remains.
- 4
Consent mechanics
Safeword and hard-limit behaviour reported in an article must match what she saw when repeating the test herself.
- 5
What "Reviewed by" means
Her name on an article means every safety, consent, privacy and billing claim in it was checked. It does not mean she chose the ranking.
