What Areto is
Areto is a web-based content moderation platform for teams managing activity across social platforms. It can hide abusive comments, remove spam and bot traffic, and mute problematic accounts. Automated moderation is listed for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, with support for more than 55 languages across four social platforms. Dashboards provide sentiment analysis, engagement insights, account performance views, and shareable reports. Fan Finder identifies loyal and engaged supporters, while Areto Score assesses sentiment and engagement quality. Illegal Stream Remover identifies and takes down pirated streams to protect content and intellectual property. The platform is aimed at global brands and public figures, with sports, public sector, and media and publishing among its highlighted industries. Areto is a paid service with a two-week trial. Connecting Instagram during the trial requires a Professional account linked to a Facebook Page. The company is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It says data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS 1.3 and at rest in Google Cloud, and that server access requires MFA. Areto also says it does not post on users’ behalf, read direct messages, or monitor mentions.
