| contents | The rise of online platforms has enabled covert illicit activities, including online prostitution, to pose challenges for detection and regulation. In this study, we introduce REDDIX-NET, a novel benchmark dataset specifically designed for moderating online sexual services and going beyond traditional NSFW filters. The dataset is derived from thousands of web-scraped NSFW posts on Reddit and categorizes users into six behavioral classes reflecting different service offerings and user intentions. We evaluate the classification performance of state-of-the-art large language models (GPT-4, LlaMA 3.3-70B-Instruct, Gemini 1.5 Flash, Mistral 8x7B, Qwen 2.5 Turbo, Claude 3.5 Haiku) using advanced quantitative metrics, finding promising results with models like GPT-4 and Gemini 1.5 Flash. Beyond classification, we conduct sentiment and comment analysis, leveraging LLM and PLM-based approaches and metadata extraction to uncover behavioral and temporal patterns. These analyses reveal peak engagement times and distinct user interaction styles across categories. Our findings provide critical insights into AI-driven moderation and enforcement, offering a scalable framework for platforms to combat online prostitution and associated harms. |
