Child Safety Standards

SquaddUp is committed to the safety and protection of all users, especially minors. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that exploits or endangers children. This page outlines our safety standards, prevention measures, and reporting mechanisms.

1. Prohibition of CSAM and Child Exploitation

SquaddUp strictly prohibits the creation, upload, distribution, or solicitation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexually exploits or endangers minors. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Content that sexualizes minors in any way
• Solicitation or grooming of minors
• Any activity that facilitates the exploitation of children

2. Detection and Prevention

We employ multiple layers of protection to prevent child exploitation on our platform:

• Content Moderation: All user-uploaded images are screened using automated moderation systems before being made publicly visible.
• Text Moderation: User-generated text content (activity descriptions, messages, profiles) is analyzed for policy violations.
• Age Verification: Activities marked as 18+ require age verification before users can view or join them.
• User Reporting: All users can report suspicious content or behavior directly through the app and website.
• Automated Flagging: Accounts that receive multiple reports are automatically flagged for manual review by our trust and safety team.
