Overview

Content or activity that sexually exploits people or facilitates or coordinates the exploitation of humans, including human trafficking, will be removed.

This includes all forms of human exploitation, of minors and adults, sexual or otherwise. When we become aware of exploitation and any activities supporting acts of exploitation, we will report it to the appropriate authorities, in compliance with applicable laws.

Unpress does permit the sharing of experiences by victims of exploitation, but we will remove content that graphically depicts, threatens or promotes sexual violence, sexual assault, or sexual exploitation. We also remove content that displays, advocates for or coordinates sexual acts with non-consenting parties to avoid facilitating non-consensual sexual acts.

To protect victims and survivors, we remove images that depict incidents of sexual violence and intimate images shared without the consent of the person(s) pictured. We may also remove content when law enforcement or other security organizations provide information that specific content is linked to harmful activity.

Nudity of Minors

Sometimes people include content that contains nudity of minors. Even if well intentioned, we may remove this content in an effort to prevent potential abuse and unauthorized reuse or appropriation of this content.

Minors in this document is defined as children, toddlers or babies including legal minors. As an internet platform that lacks geographic boundaries, we generally define this as persons under the age of 18, although this may vary depending on country and context.

What happens if you violate these standards?

Content may be labelled or removed, platform functionality may be restricted and for egregious violations, accounts may be banned. We may also relay egregious violations to the appropriate authorities.
