  • Any content that sexually exploits or abuses minors, including written, illustrated, or photographic material
  • Grooming behaviour — using the platform to gain the trust of a minor for the purposes of exploitation
  • Sharing, soliciting, or distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
  • Any attempt to engage minors in sexual conversations or solicit sexual content from minors
  • Content that normalises, glorifies, or promotes the sexual abuse or exploitation of children
