==Challenges==
iSafe BD faces challenges common to rapid-response platforms, including the risk of false reporting, limited internet access in some rural areas, the need for stronger institutional partnerships (such as with law enforcement), and the demand for continuous moderation and data-privacy maintenance.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dainikabhaynagar.com/%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%be%E0%A6%b8%E0%A6%be%e0%a6%a8 |title=দৈনিক অভয়নগর প্রতিবেদন |publisher=Dainik Abhoynagar |date=2025 |language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://arthoniteerkagoj.com/%e0%a6%93%e0%a6%b8%e0%a6%ae%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%a8%e0%a7%80%e0%a6%a8%e0%a6%97%e0%a6%b0%e0%a6%b0-%e0%a6%a4%e0%a6%b0%e0%a7%81%e0%a6%a3-%e0%a6%9c%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%b9%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%a6-%e0%a6%86%e0%a6%b2/ |title=অর্থনীতির কাগজে তরুণ জাহেদ আল হাসান |publisher=Arthonitir Kagoj |date=2025 |language=bn}}</ref>
