Last updated: September 2026
Zero tolerance: any child sexual abuse material (CSAM) will result in immediate account termination and mandatory reporting to law enforcement authorities worldwide.
1. Our Position
GoFitDaddy has an absolute zero-tolerance policy towards child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any content that exploits, endangers, or sexualises minors. This policy applies globally and without exception.
2. Prohibited Content
The following are strictly prohibited and will never be permitted on our platform:
- Any sexual content involving persons under the age of 18

- Content depicting or facilitating the grooming, trafficking, or exploitation of minors
- Any content that could be used to identify, locate, or contact a minor for harmful purposes
- Any image of a minor in any context, even if non-sexual
3. Detection Methods
We use multiple layers of detection:
- AI-based image classification of every uploaded image and video
- PhotoDNA hash-matching against known CSAM — integrated and pending activation by Microsoft
- Human content moderation reviewers

4. Mandatory Reporting
Upon detection of suspected CSAM, we are legally required to and will immediately:
