Child safety: exploitation, nudity and abuse

We (JustTalk app) do not allow content or activity that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions. However, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images.

We work with external experts and to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children. 

Although we do not allow pictures or videos to be shared on the timeline (only profile pictures and background profile pictures at the moment). We still do not permit any form of activity that sexually exploits or endangers children.

Please do not hesitate to report any profile or post that has unacceptable content. they will be reviewed, and necessary actions will be taken.
