# Topics

> Detect content about politics or religion when you want to keep discussions on-topic for your platform.

Topic policies don't flag content as harmful — they flag it as off-topic for products that explicitly want to keep certain subjects out of their community. Pair them with the `recommendation` action of your choice (typically `review` rather than `reject`).

## Policies

| `id`        | Type         | Supported   | What it does                                 |
| ----------- | ------------ | ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `political` | `classifier` | text, audio | Political content, discussions, or opinions. |
| `religion`  | `classifier` | text, audio | Religious content, discussions, or opinions. |

## Reading the result

```javascript theme={"theme":"nord"}
const political = response.policies.find(p => p.id === "political");
if (political?.flagged) {
  await sendToReview(content);
}
```

<Tip>
  These categories are intentionally broad. They're best used in environments with a clear scope — a cooking community, a developer forum, a customer support channel — where any political or religious tangent is off-topic regardless of tone.
