Protection Against Child Exploitation (CSAE)

Strict Zero-Tolerance Approach

We do not allow any content or actions that involve the abuse or exploitation of minors. This includes inappropriate communication, attempts to manipulate younger users, or sharing harmful material. Any violation of this policy results in immediate action.

We fully cooperate with law enforcement and relevant organizations when required. If illegal activity is identified, appropriate steps will be taken, including reporting to authorities.

Handling of Harmful Content (CSAM)

Prohibited Content

Any content involving the exploitation or harm of minors is strictly forbidden. Users who attempt to upload, share, or promote such content will be permanently removed from the App.

Content Monitoring Systems

We use moderation tools and monitoring processes to help detect and prevent inappropriate material. These systems are regularly improved to maintain a safer environment.
