Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

CSAM refers to any content or behavior that depicts minors in sexual contexts or sexualizes them, including CSE such as grooming, solicitation, sextortion etc. This includes the promotion or facilitation of paedophilia and CSAM trade. CSAM is illegal, harmful, and deeply distressing for both victims and viewers, especially survivors.

We have zero tolerance for CSAM. Violations are reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and we work with expert partners to improve detection and prevention. Once identified, content is removed, accounts are terminated (including linked accounts), and relevant authorities are notified.
