    Keyword filters were built for a 2010 internet where spammers wrote 'BUY VIAGRA NOW.' Today's spammer writes 'hey saw your post, dm me about that opportunity 😉' — and your regex sleeps through it.

    Semantic moderation reads intent. It can tell the difference between a scam DM probe and a legitimate beginner asking the same question with the same words.
