Child Safety Standards

At Glide2, the safety and protection of all users—especially children and young people—is our highest priority. We are committed to maintaining a platform that is free from child sexual abuse material (CSAM), exploitation, harassment, and other harmful content.

This page outlines our comprehensive safety standards, technical measures, and enforcement policies that make Glide2 a safe space for content creation and consumption.

1. Zero Tolerance for CSAM and Child Exploitation

We define prohibited content as including, but not limited to:

• Any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving minors
• Content that sexualizes, grooms, or solicits minors
• Content facilitating or promoting child exploitation
• Sharing, requesting, or trading CSAM in any form
• Adult sexual content featuring individuals who appear to be minors
• Drawn, animated, or digitally created content depicting minors in sexual situations

2. AI-Powered Content Moderation System

Glide2 employs a sophisticated multi-layered content moderation system powered by artificial intelligence and human oversight to detect and prevent harmful content before it reaches our platform.

2.1 Ollama-Based AI Moderation

Our content moderation pipeline uses Ollama, a locally-hosted AI model infrastructure running specialized vision and language models. This approach provides:

• Privacy-First Analysis: Content is analyzed on our secure servers without third-party data sharing
• Real-Time Scanning: All uploaded videos are scanned before publication
• Multi-Modal Detection: Simultaneous analysis of video frames, audio, captions, and metadata
• Contextual Understanding: AI models trained to understand context and nuance

2.2 What Our AI Detects

2.3 Human Review and Oversight

While our AI systems provide the first line of defense, human moderators review:

• Content flagged by AI with medium-to-high confidence scores
• User reports of harmful content
• Appeals of content removal decisions
• Edge cases requiring contextual judgment

Our moderation team is trained in child safety protocols and receives ongoing education on emerging threats and exploitation tactics.

3. In-App Reporting Mechanisms

Every user has the power to report content that violates our Community Guidelines or endangers children. Our reporting system is designed to be fast, accessible, and confidential.

3.1 How to Report Content

3.2 Priority Handling for Child Safety Reports

Reports related to child safety receive the highest priority:

• Immediate Review: CSAM reports are reviewed within 1 hour
• Expedited Action: Suspected CSAM is removed within 2 hours of confirmation
• 24/7 Monitoring: Dedicated safety team operates around the clock
• Confidential Reporting: Reporter identity is protected from reported users

3.3 Anonymous Reporting Options

Users can report content without fear of retaliation:

• All in-app reports are anonymous to the reported party
• Users can report content without being logged in (web version)
• External reporting via email: safety@glide2.app

4. User Blocking and Restriction Features

Glide2 provides robust tools to help users—especially young people and parents—control their experience and protect themselves from unwanted interactions.

4.1 Blocking Users

When you block another user:

• They cannot view your profile or content
• They cannot send you messages or comments
• They cannot follow you or see your activity
• Existing follows are removed
• They are not notified of the block

4.2 Privacy Settings for Minors (Ages 13-17)

Accounts for users aged 13-17 have enhanced default privacy settings:

4.3 Restricted Words Filter

Users can enable automatic filtering of comments containing:

• Profanity and offensive language
• Sexual solicitation
• Spam and scam attempts
• Custom keyword lists (user-defined)

4.4 Mute and Restrict Options

Less severe than blocking, these features allow users to:

• Mute: Hide content from specific users without blocking them
• Restrict: Limit interactions while keeping the relationship intact

5. Age Verification and Parental Consent Systems

5.1 Age Verification at Registration

All new users must provide their date of birth during account creation:

• Minimum Age: Users must be at least 13 years old
• Age-Gating: Users under 13 are prevented from creating accounts
• AI-Assisted Verification: Profile photos are analyzed to detect age misrepresentation
• Behavioral Signals: System monitors for patterns indicating false age declaration

5.2 Parental Consent (Ages 13-15 in Certain Jurisdictions)

In jurisdictions requiring parental consent for users under 16 (e.g., GDPR territories), we implement:

5.3 Ongoing Age Monitoring

We continuously monitor for signs of age falsification:

• Users suspected of being underage may be asked to provide ID verification
• Accounts confirmed to belong to users under 13 are immediately deleted
• Appeals process available for false positives

6. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

Glide2 works proactively with law enforcement agencies worldwide to combat child exploitation and bring offenders to justice.

6.1 Mandatory Reporting

6.2 Proactive Partnerships

We maintain relationships with:

• National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
• Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)
• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• INTERPOL and international law enforcement agencies

6.3 Hash Database Integration

Glide2 uses industry-standard hash databases to prevent re-upload of known CSAM:

• PhotoDNA technology integration (Microsoft)
• Comparison against NCMEC and IWF hash databases
• Automatic blocking of known CSAM before upload completes
