The form is most common in technical and data-processing contexts, where systems, programs, or agents are described as filtering input, results, or communications.

It also appears in discussions of content moderation, where platforms filt­teröivät käyttäjäkommentteja tai kuvia, and in signal processing where signals are filt­teröity to remove noise.

Notes: Filtteröi is a verb form and not a standalone noun; its precise meaning depends on the object being filtered (data, messages, images, etc.) and the context of the filter being applied.
