非法或受管制的活动

We aim to balance safety and privacy in our approach to protecting users. We use a combination of automated tools and human review to prevent users from being exposed to illegal or regulated activity, such as the attempted sale of illicit drugs or weapons, criminal activity, or the promotion of broadly regulated goods or activities on public surfaces (such as Spotlight, Public Stories and Maps).

For serious violations such as attempted human trafficking or smuggling, as well as the attempted sale of illicit drugs or weapons, we use proactive, automated tools to detect and remove violating content. We also work closely with law enforcement, as appropriate, where we believe there may be an imminent threat to human life. Snap’s approach is to maintain established protocols for assisting law-enforcement authorities globally, including dedicated channels for responding to potential imminent harm situations, subject to strict legal safeguards. More information for law enforcement can be found here.

We are committed to ensuring that Snapchatters have as much information as possible regarding the types of online behavior and activities that may violate the law and present serious risk to their safety. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and collaboration with diverse safety stakeholders, we aim to raise awareness about high-risk activities and ways that Snapchatters can stay safe. This includes in-app resources, like Here for You and Heads Up, as well as collaborations with safety stakeholders. We also cooperate with law enforcement agencies in response to valid legal processes concerning activities on Snapchat that may provide evidence of a crime.
