Foto’s Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

Last Updated: 1/29/2025

At Foto, we are committed to protecting children and preventing child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) on our platform. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any content or activity that promotes, facilitates, or depicts CSAE in any form. Our policies align with international legal standards and best practices to ensure a safe and responsible online environment for all users.

1. Prohibited Content and Behavior

Foto strictly prohibits:

  • Any content, including images, descriptions, or links, that depicts or promotes the sexual exploitation or abuse of children.

  • Any solicitation, grooming, or predatory behavior targeting minors.

  • Any form of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including digitally generated, altered, or AI-manipulated content.

  • Any accounts or users engaged in CSAE-related activities, including distribution, solicitation, or facilitation of such content.

2. Reporting and Detection Measures

To prevent CSAE, Foto has implemented robust detection and reporting mechanisms:

  • Automated Monitoring: We use AI-powered moderation tools and industry-standard detection technologies to identify and remove illegal content.

  • User Reporting Tools: Users can report CSAE content or suspicious behavior directly within our platform. Reports are reviewed promptly.

  • Dedicated Review Team: Our trained moderation team investigates all CSAE reports and takes immediate action.

  • Partnerships with Authorities: We cooperate with law enforcement, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and other relevant organizations to report and address CSAE incidents.

3. Enforcement Actions

Foto takes strict action against users who violate our CSAE policies, including:

  • Immediate removal of violating content.

  • Permanent banning of offending accounts.

  • Reporting violations to law enforcement and relevant child protection agencies.

4. Industry Collaboration and Compliance

Foto works with industry partners and organizations to combat CSAE. We adhere to legal obligations, including the U.S. PROTECT Act, COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), and global initiatives to prevent online child exploitation.

5. How to Report CSAE Content

If you encounter any CSAE content on Foto, report it immediately using our in-app reporting tools or contact us at help@fotoapp.co. We also encourage users to report suspected CSAE content to NCMEC’s CyberTipline (https://report.cybertip.org) or local authorities.

Foto is committed to fostering a safe and respectful online space. We will continue to enhance our policies, tools, and enforcement measures to prevent CSAE and protect children.
