Technical infrastructure and ethical priorities
BIGO’s operational backbone lies in its distributed server network, strategically positioned to minimise latency. Machine learning algorithms dynamically allocate resources during peak traffic, such as during global gaming tournaments or music festivals hosted on its platforms. This technical agility has enabled partnerships with organisations like the International Esports Federation for event broadcasting.
Ethical considerations underpin its growth strategy. The company employs locale-specific moderation teams fluent in 20+ languages, complementing automated filters to respect cultural nuances. In 2022, BIGO introduced privacy-centric features including end-to-end encryption for private streams and user-controlled data visibility settings. These measures align with Singapore’s PDPA regulations while serving diverse jurisdictions.
