- Reporting tools are available in-app for users to flag inappropriate behavior or content.
- Accounts involved in any CSAE behavior are permanently banned and reported to relevant authorities.
3. Detection and Moderation
We monitor activity using automated and manual tools to detect potential CSAE violations. This includes a user's ability to flag and report other users in the application.
4. Reporting and Escalation
