Passage-based question 2

These five questions all refer to the information below. The information is the same for each question.

A company develops a social media application that allows users to make public posts. However, soon after launching, the company observes a proliferation of posts containing hate speech (abusive writing that's prejudiced against a group of people) and fake news (deliberately false information).

To address the issue, the engineers develop a moderation algorithm and use it to decide whether a post should be hidden or marked with a warning.

The original posting system and new posting system are described in the following flowcharts. Each flowchart uses the following blocks:

Block	Explanation
Oval	The start of the algorithm
Parallelogram	An input or output step
Diamond	A conditional or decision step, where execution proceeds to the side labeled "Yes" if the answer to the question is yes and to the side labeled "No" if the answer is no
Rectangle	The result of the algorithm

Which of the following data is not provided directly from the user but is necessary for the moderation system to operate as described?
