Child Safety Standards

1. Our Commitment

Avokindo is dedicated to protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. As a social platform connecting adults for hospitality and cultural exchange, we:

• Restrict access to users 18 years and older — verified through mandatory identity verification during registration
• Employ advanced content moderation systems to detect and remove prohibited content
• Maintain trained safety teams to review reports and take swift action
• Cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies worldwide
• Report all instances of CSAM to appropriate authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)

2. Prohibited Content and Behavior

The following are strictly prohibited on Avokindo and will result in immediate account termination and reporting to authorities:

• Any sexual content involving minors (under 18 years of age)
• Solicitation of minors for sexual purposes
• Sharing, distributing, or possessing child sexual abuse material
• Grooming behavior or attempts to establish inappropriate relationships with minors
• Discussions promoting or normalizing child exploitation
• Any content that sexualizes children, including fictional or AI-generated content
• Links to external sites containing CSAM or exploitative content

Note: Avokindo is an adults-only platform. Users must be 18 years or older to create an account, and we employ facial verification technology to confirm age.

3. Prevention Measures

3.1 Age Verification

All users must complete our verification process which includes:

• Government ID verification confirming the user is 18+
• Live facial recognition (liveness detection) to prevent identity fraud
• Photo comparison between ID and selfie

3.2 Content Moderation

We employ multiple layers of content moderation:

• Automated detection systems using industry-standard hash-matching technology (PhotoDNA) to identify known CSAM
• AI-powered content analysis for detecting suspicious content patterns
• Human review teams trained to identify and escalate potential violations
• 24/7 monitoring of reported content with priority handling for child safety reports

3.3 Staff Training

All Avokindo team members with access to user content receive specialized training on:

• Recognizing indicators of child exploitation
• Proper reporting procedures to law enforcement
• Trauma-informed content review practices
• Regular updates on evolving threats and tactics

4. Reporting Child Safety Concerns

If you encounter any content or behavior that may involve the exploitation or endangerment of children, report it immediately using one of the following methods:

All reports are treated with the highest priority and confidentiality. We will never disclose the identity of reporters to accused users.

5. Response and Enforcement

When we receive a report or detect potential CSAE content, we take immediate action:

• Immediate content removal — Suspected CSAM is removed within minutes of detection
• Account suspension — Accounts involved in CSAE are immediately and permanently suspended

• Authority notification — We report all confirmed CSAM to NCMEC and cooperate with local law enforcement
