What is the purpose of this web page?
This document sets out AZMen's Content Moderation Policy (“Policy”). This Policy explains when, why, and how AZMen can moderate content, and how content that violates AZMen's Terms of Service is handled. If you are an AZMen user, this Policy forms part of your legal agreement with AZMen. Please carefully read this Policy in full. Here are a few key things to note:
- Our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines explain what is and what is not permitted on AZMen.
- Interpretation: Unless specifically defined in this Policy, the meanings given to words defined in the Terms of Service have the same meanings in this Policy.
When does AZMen moderate content?
We moderate content to check if it complies with our Terms of Service, which includes our Community Guidelines.
Why does AZMen moderate content?
We moderate content to protect our user community.
What type of content does AZMen moderate?
At any time, we can choose to review and remove content shared on AZMen, including text, audio, images, direct messages, and videos.
How does AZMen moderate content?
We use state-of-the-art digital technologies paired with human moderation to check whether content is allowed. Our trained moderators identify and take action to remove any content which they believe violates our Terms of Service.
What technology does AZMen use to moderate content?
We use a variety of technology tools to identify content which may violate our Terms of Service. These include:
- Hashlists and stop words: These scan media, audio, and text to block terms and images which are not permitted. Hashlists are collections of unique identifiers assigned to existing harmful online media, including non-consensual intimate images (NCII) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Text or media content that matches a bad hashlist or stop word will automatically be blocked from appearing on AZMen.
- Image and text scanning technology: These tools help our human moderators prioritize the content they review. The tools automatically scan media and text for potential violations of our Terms of Service. These potential violations can then be reviewed by human moderators prior to any decision to deactivate content.
What happens if a user shares improper content?
If a user shares content that violates AZMen's Terms of Service, we may:
- Deactivate the content,
- Issue a warning,
- Issue a final warning,
- Deactivate the account,
- Ban the account holder from the AZMen platform.
If a user commits serious violations or repeatedly posts content that violates AZMen Terms of Service, we may suspend or terminate that user’s account(s) and prohibit them from opening new accounts on AZMen.
Why might AZMen remove content?
We most commonly remove content for violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, such as content that:
- Features a celebrity or creator we cannot verify as 18+.
- Features a celebrity or creator whose identity we cannot verify, including accounts or content which are wholly AI-generated.
- Features a celebrity or creator pretending to be under 18, even if this is role play or fiction.
- Is sexually explicit and includes a person who is not the verified creator and has not confirmed their age, identity, or consent.
- Involves nudity in a public place, or around animals.
- Is illegal where you live or where the content was captured.
- Features blood or could be considered violent or extreme.
- Features weapons or illegal drugs.
- Features an everyday object being used in a way that is likely to cause harm, including using it as a sex toy.
What does AZMen do about illegal content?
We will deactivate the content and, where appropriate, make a report to law enforcement. We report all suspected CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through their Cyber Tipline.
How can a user appeal a content moderation decision?
