This report covers the period starting on 1 January 2025 and ending on 31 December 2025.
Background
The sexual exploitation of any member of our community, especially minors, is illegal, abhorrent, and prohibited by our Community Guidelines. Preventing, detecting, and eradicating Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) on our platform is a top priority for Snap, and we continually evolve our capabilities to combat these and other crimes.
The technologies we use include (a) PhotoDNA robust hash-matching and Google’s Child Sexual Abuse Imagery (CSAI) Match to identify known illegal images and videos of CSEA, respectively; and (b) Google’s Content Safety API to identify novel, "never-before-hashed" CSEA imagery. We report CSEA imagery to the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), as required by law. NCMEC, in turn, coordinates with law enforcement in the U.S. and other countries, as needed.
Report
The chart below includes data about proactive detection and resulting enforcements against EU users for CSEA imagery during 2025. (Note: some enforcements resulting from proactive scanning in 2025 may still be subject to appeal as of when this report was compiled, and therefore would not be reflected in the appeals and reinstatements data below.)

1. This category reports enforcements for violations of Snap’s Community Guidelines prohibiting child sexual exploitation. Proactively detected content that is enforced for other violations of Snap’s Community Guidelines is not reported here.
2. An enforcement can be overturned if we determine it was erroneous based on our policies in effect at the time of enforcement, or if we determine it was correctly enforced originally, but our applicable policy has changed at the time of reviewing the appeal.
Content Moderation Safeguards
The safeguards applied for CSEA Media Scanning are set out in the above EU DSA Transparency Report.
