What CSAM is? What are your (legal) responsibilities?
CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) also known as CP (child pornography) has different legal definitions in different countries/jurisdictions. The minimum defines CSAM as imagery or videos that show a person who is a child and is engaged in or is depicted as being engaged in explicit sexual activity.
The fight against child exploitation, CSAM, and the propagation of sexual abuse material is a common fight and a responsibility at the same time. From both moral and law enforcement standpoints.
Here is what you need to know about your responsibilities:
Engaging in any interaction (written, audio, video) that contains CSAM content is strictly prohibited. Interaction refers to a Skype call/conversation that has a CMD attached payment (pay per minute, prepaid, tips, etc.);
In the event that you receive a show proposal from a CMD member where CSAM content is involved, your responsibilities are to:
Decline the proposal;
Immediately stop any contact/communication with the member. As a secondary action, you should also consider blocking/reporting the member on Skype;
Report the member to the CMD team. Please consider this a very important step so that we can start a due diligence process and take the right actions. You can open a report directly from your account, from the section Tools > Report a member.
About the report:
You will be providing us with all the details, in writing, you have about the reported member and the case/crime.
Considering the CSAM content restrictions, you should not have and you will not be asked to provide any screenshots/pictures/images/videos or any other form of information/proof that contains CSAM.
Other notes:
Note that owning, distributing/sharing CSAM content is strictly prohibited;
In case you have been exposed to such content, this content has to be immediately destroyed;
