Child Safety Standards — FrndTalk

Effective date: 7/12/2026
FrndTalk has a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSAE). This page describes our standards, and is incorporated by reference into our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

1. Zero tolerance for CSAE

We do not allow content that sexualizes or endangers children, real or fictional (for example, in anime, digital images, illustrations, or text). This includes any visual depiction, sharing of third-party links, or discussion of sexually explicit conduct involving a child. It is prohibited to upload, store, produce, share, or entice anyone to share child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on FrndTalk, even if the stated intent is to express outrage or raise awareness about the issue.

2. Photos of children

We understand members may want to share images of their own children, or of themselves as children, with their connections. Any discussion involving children must remain appropriate, relevant, and lawful. If you include a photo of a child on your profile or in a post, the child must be fully clothed and must not appear alone in the image. This applies to childhood photos of yourself as well. We do not allow profile photos or posts depicting a baby's, toddler's, or child's genitalia or buttocks, even when partially covered (including by emojis or stickers).

3. Enforcement

Any violation of this policy results in immediate removal of the content, and permanent removal of the responsible member from FrndTalk. Age or identity misrepresentation intended to circumvent our 18+ eligibility requirement (see Section 2 of the Terms) is treated as a violation of this policy.

4. Reporting to authorities

In compliance with U.S. law, if we become aware of apparent child sexual exploitation, child grooming, or child sexual abuse material on the Service, we report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via its CyberTipline. NCMEC may make that report available to relevant local, national, and international law enforcement authorities.

5. How to report a concern

You can report a user, a video, a livestream, or a chat message directly in the app using the Report feature — see Section 14 of the Terms — which routes the report to our moderation and admin tools for review. If you believe a child is in danger, contact local law enforcement first. If you believe we made a mistake in taking action on your account or content, or if you cannot use the in-app reporting tool, contact us at the address below.
