 Understanding and Preventing Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA)

Effective Date: February 25, 2025

1. Introduction

At CHAM - Meet Random People, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all users. A critical aspect of this commitment is our unwavering stance against Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA). This article aims to educate our community about what constitutes CSEA, why it is strictly prohibited, and how we can collectively work to prevent it.

2. What is Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA)?

CSEA encompasses any form of sexual activity involving a minor (individuals under 18 years of age), including but not limited to:

  • Creating, sharing, or possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
  • Engaging in or facilitating sexual conversations with minors.
  • Grooming behaviors intended to prepare a minor for sexual activity.

Such activities are illegal, exploitative, and cause profound harm to victims.

3. Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

CHAM enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of CSEA. Engaging in activities that exploit or abuse children will result in immediate account termination and reporting to appropriate authorities. This policy aligns with our commitment to user safety and complies with Google Play's Child Safety Standards.

4. How You Can Help Maintain a Safe Community

  • Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter content or behavior that suggests involvement of minors or CSEA, report it immediately using the in-app reporting feature. Prompt reporting helps us take swift action to protect our community.

  • Verify User Ages: Engage only with users who are 18 years or older. If you suspect someone is underage, cease interaction and report the user.

  • Educate Yourself: Familiarize yourself with the signs of grooming and exploitation to recognize and prevent potential abuse.

5. Resources and Support

For more information on recognizing and preventing CSEA, consider visiting reputable organizations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or Google's Child Safety Resources.

6. Conclusion

Protecting children from exploitation and abuse is a collective responsibility. By adhering to these guidelines and remaining vigilant, we can help ensure that CHAM remains a safe space for all users.
