At Free Speech, Inc., we are committed to providing a safe and secure platform for all users. We take child safety extremely seriously and maintain a zero-tolerance policy for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE), including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
Although the Free Speech app is intended for adults (18+), we still follow strict child safety standards to prevent, detect, remove, and report any CSAE- or CSAM-related activity on our platform.

This includes grooming, sexual harassment of or by minors, solicitation of sexual acts, sexual extortion (“sextortion”), trafficking of children for sexual purposes, or any behavior that sexualizes a child for adult benefit.
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) means any content that depicts or involves a child in a sexually explicit situation. CSAM can include photos, videos, live streams, chat messages, illustrations, or any other material that shows or promotes sexual abuse or exploitation of a child.
CSAM is illegal and strictly prohibited on Free Speech.
