Sexual Content

We prohibit the following sexual harms: 

• Any activity that involves sexual exploitation or abuse of a minor, including sharing child sexual exploitation or abuse imagery, grooming for sexual purposes, sexual extortion (sextortion) or the sexualisation of children. Never post, save, send, forward, distribute or ask for nude or sexually explicit content involving anyone under the age of 18 (this includes sending or saving such images of yourself). We report any child sexual exploitation that we’ve identified, including attempts to engage in such conduct, to the appropriate authorities, including the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in line with legal requirements. 

• Any communication or behaviour that attempts to persuade, trick or coerce a minor with the intent of sexual abuse or exploitation, or which leverages fear or shame to keep a minor silent.

• All other forms of sexual exploitation, including sex trafficking, sextortion and deceptive sexual practices, including efforts to coerce or entice users to provide nudes. 

• Producing, sharing or threatening to share non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) – including sexual photos or videos taken or shared without permission, as well as “revenge porn” or behaviour that threatens to share, exploit or expose individuals’ intimate images or videos without their consent.

• All forms of sexual harassment. This may include making unwanted advances, sharing graphic and unsolicited content, or sending obscene requests or sexual invitations to other users.

• Promoting, distributing, or sharing pornographic content, including photos, videos or even highly realistic animation, drawings or other renderings of explicit sex acts, or nudity where the primary intention is sexual arousal.

• Offers of sexual services, including both offline services (such as, for example, erotic massage) and online experiences (such as, for example, offering sexual chat or video services).

We do allow for non-sexual nudity in certain contexts, such as breastfeeding, medical procedures and other similar depictions.

Our goal is to foster a safe community where Snapchatters can express themselves, and we do not tolerate sexually explicit or exploitative content. If you ever feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate to reach out to a trusted person in your life, report violating content and block any offending users.
