Child Safety & CSAE Policy

The Signal, operated by Culture Signal Media, has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). The safety of minors on our platform is our highest priority.

Our Standards

We strictly prohibit any content or behavior that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors, including but not limited to:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in any form • Grooming, luring, or solicitation of minors • Sexualized content involving anyone under 18 • Content that encourages or normalizes the sexualization of children • Sharing, linking to, or directing users toward CSAE material, including on external platforms

We do not permit any imagery, text, audio, or links that depict, describe, or promote the sexual exploitation of children, regardless of whether it is produced, AI-generated, animated, or simulated.

Enforcement

Upon becoming aware of any CSAE content or conduct, we take immediate action:

• We remove the offending content without delay • We suspend or permanently ban the responsible account • We preserve relevant records for law enforcement • We report the incident, along with account and content information, to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via the CyberTipline, and we cooperate fully with law enforcement

Age Requirements

Users must be at least 13 years of age to create an account on The Signal. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to use the platform. Accounts suspected of being held by users under 13 will be removed.

Reporting

Anyone can report suspected CSAE content or conduct through the in-app Report tools available on every post, comment, message, and profile, or by contacting our moderation team. All CSAE reports are prioritized and reviewed urgently.

Designated Contact

CSAE reports and law enforcement inquiries may be directed to our moderation team through the app's reporting tools or support channel.

Commitment

We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members and to complying with all applicable laws protecting children, including 18 U.S.C. § 2258A reporting obligations.
