Child Sexual Abuse and Expoitation Policy

Within the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), we are committed to protecting children and preventing child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) on our platform. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any content or activity that promotes, facilitates, or depicts CSAE in any form. Our policies align with international legal standards and best practices to ensure a safe and responsible online environment for all users.

1. Prohibited Content and Behavior

OBOD strictly prohibits:

• Any content, including images, descriptions, or links, that depicts or promotes the sexual exploitation or abuse of children.
• Any solicitation, grooming, or predatory behavior targeting minors (under 18 years of age).
• Any form of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including digitally generated, altered, or AI-manipulated content.
• Any accounts or users engaged in CSAE-related activities, including distribution, solicitation, or facilitation of such content.

2. Reporting and Detection Measures

To prevent CSAE, OBOD has implemented robust detection and reporting mechanisms within our products and services:

• User Reporting Tools: Users can report CSAE content or suspicious behavior directly within our platform. Reports are reviewed promptly.
• Moderators: Our moderators investigate all CSAE reports and takes immediate action.
• Partnerships with Authorities: We cooperate with law enforcement, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), and other relevant organizations to report and address CSAE incidents.
