3. Age Verification Requirements

All users must be at least 18 years of age to access or use our Platform. We implement multiple layers of age verification:

5. User Reports: Users can report content or accounts suspected of involving minors.

Consequences for Underage Access: Any user discovered to be under 18 will have their account immediately and permanently terminated. If content depicting a minor is discovered, we will report it to NCMEC and law enforcement as described in Section 2.1.

4. Moderation Process

We use a combination of automated detection, user reports, and human review to enforce this policy. Here's how our moderation process works:

4.1 Detection Methods

4.2 Review & Enforcement

When a potential violation is detected:

1. Initial Review (Automated or Human): Content is evaluated against this policy.
2. Decision: We determine whether the content violates this policy. For borderline cases, we err on the side of removal to protect user safety.
3. Action Taken: Depending on the severity of the violation, we may:
   • Remove the content
   • Issue a warning to the user
   • Temporarily suspend the account (7-30 days)
   • Permanently terminate the account
   • Ban the user's IP address and device fingerprints
   • Report to law enforcement (for CSAM, trafficking, etc.)
4. Notification (DSA Art. 17 - Statement of Reasons): Users are notified of moderation actions with a statement of reasons, including:
   • Which content was removed or which action was taken
   • Which policy provision was violated
   • Information about the appeals process
   • Information about out-of-court dispute resolution (for EU users)

4.3 Response Times

5. Appeals & Due Process

If you believe your content was removed or your account was suspended or terminated in error, you have the right to appeal our decision.

5.1 How to File an Appeal

1. Submit an Appeal: Email [email protected] with:
   • Your account username or email
   • The content URL (if applicable) or case number from the moderation notice
   • A clear explanation of why you believe the decision was incorrect
   • Any supporting evidence (e.g., proof of consent, age verification, etc.)
2. Review: Our Appeals team will review your case within 7 business days. This review is conducted by a different moderator than the one who made the original decision.
3. Decision: We will notify you of the outcome via email. If we uphold the original decision, we will provide additional explanation. If we overturn the decision, your content will be restored or your account reinstated.

5.2 Limitations on Appeals

• CSAM: Decisions involving CSAM are not appealable and are always permanent.
• Repeat Offenders: Users with multiple violations may have limited or no appeal rights.
• Frivolous Appeals: Repeatedly filing baseless appeals may result in loss of appeal privileges.

5.3 Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution (EU Users - DSA Art. 21)

If you are located in the European Union and are not satisfied with the outcome of your appeal, you may submit your dispute to an out-of-court dispute settlement body. We will engage with certified dispute resolution providers as required by the EU Digital Services Act.

Contact [email protected] for information about available out-of-court dispute resolution options.

6. Transparency & Accountability

We are committed to transparency in our content moderation practices. To promote accountability, we publish regular transparency reports that include:

• Number of content removals by category (CSAM, NCII, copyright, etc.)
• Number of account suspensions and terminations
• Number of user reports received and acted upon
• Number of appeals filed and outcomes
• Response times for different violation categories
• NCMEC CyberTipline reports filed (aggregate number, no identifying details)
• Government requests for content removal or user data

DSA Transparency Reporting (EU): For EU users, we publish additional transparency reports as required by DSA Articles 15, 24, and 42, including information about our content moderation systems, automated decision-making, and complaints handling.

7. Special Protections for Marginalized Communities

We recognize that certain communities face disproportionate levels of harassment, discrimination, and abusive reporting on adult content platforms. We are committed to protecting these communities:

7.1 LGBTQ+ Protections

• LGBTQ+ content (including trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming content) is explicitly permitted on our Platform
• We do not tolerate homophobic, transphobic, or anti-LGBTQ+ harassment
• We apply heightened scrutiny to mass-reporting campaigns targeting LGBTQ+ creators
• Misgendering, deadnaming, or "outing" individuals without consent is prohibited

7.2 Sex Worker Protections

• We support the rights of consensual adult sex workers and do not discriminate against sex worker content
• We distinguish between consensual adult sex work and human trafficking/exploitation
• We do not permit content promoting or facilitating prostitution solicitation (arranging meetings for paid sex), but we permit sex workers to share adult content
• We apply heightened scrutiny to reports targeting sex worker accounts, recognizing that sex workers face stigma-based harassment

7.3 Protection Against Abusive Reporting

We are aware that bad actors may abuse reporting systems to harass creators, particularly marginalized creators. We combat this by:

• Reviewing patterns of mass-reporting and coordinated harassment campaigns
• Penalizing users who file false or bad-faith reports
• Providing creators with information about who reported their content (in aggregate, not individual identities) when safe to do so
• Offering enhanced protections (e.g., requiring higher thresholds for removal) for creators targeted by harassment
