Grundgedanke dieser Richtlinie
Wir lassen keinerlei Inhalte oder Aktivitäten zu, in denen oder durch die Kinder sexuell missbraucht oder gefährdet werden. Wenn wir Kenntnis von möglicher Ausbeutung oder dem Missbrauch von Kindern erlangen, melden wir dies in Einklang mit geltendem Recht dem Nationalen Zentrum für vermisste, ausgebeutete und missbrauchte Kinder (NCMEC – National Center for Missing and Exploited Children). Wir wissen, dass Nutzer manchmal in bester Absicht Nacktfotos ihrer eigenen Kinder teilen. Allerdings entfernen wir diese Bilder generell, da sie die Möglichkeit des Missbrauchs durch Dritte eröffnen. So möchten wir verhindern, dass Dritte die Bilder weiterverwenden bzw. widerrechtlich verwenden.
Zudem arbeiten wir mit externen Experten zusammen (einschließlich dem Meta Safety Advisory Board), um unsere Richtlinien rund um das Thema Online-Sicherheit und deren Durchsetzung – insbesondere in Bezug auf Kinder – zu erörtern und zu verbessern. Mehr zur Technologie, die wir zur Bekämpfung von Kindesmissbrauch einsetzen.
Folgendes ist untersagt:

Policy Rationale
We do not allow content or activity that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images.
We also work with external experts, including the Meta Safety Advisory Board, to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children. Learn more about the technology we’re using to fight against child exploitation.

  • We may restrict access to products and features (e.g., the ability to message certain other users) for adults based on their interactions with other accounts, searches for or interactions with violating content, or membership in communities (e.g. Groups) we have removed for violating our policies.
For the following content, we include a warning screen so that people are aware the content may be disturbing and limit the ability to view the content to adults ages eighteen and older:
  • Videos or photos that depict police officers or military personnel committing non-sexual child abuse

Policy Rationale
We do not allow content or activity that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images.
We also work with external experts, including the Meta Safety Advisory Board, to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children. Learn more about the technology we’re using to fight against child exploitation.

Policy Rationale
We do not allow content or activity that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images.
We also work with external experts, including the Meta Safety Advisory Board, to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children. Learn more about the technology we’re using to fight against child exploitation.

We do not allow content that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images.
We also work with external experts, including the Facebook Safety Advisory Board, to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children. Learn more about the newtechnology we’re using to fight against child exploitation.

Imagery that depicts non-sexual child abuse regardless of sharing intent
Content that praises, supports, promotes, advocates for, provides instructions for or encourages participation in non-sexual child abuse
We already prohibit content that depicts non-sexual child abuse, but had previously included the prohibition in our Graphic and Violent Content section because the content can be graphic. However, since non-sexual child abuse is a child safety issue much like child nudity and exploitation, we have moved the policy to this section and relabeled it to more appropriately reflect the type of content we remove.

Nutzungserlebnisse
Hier einige Beispiele dafür, wie die Durchsetzung für Facebook-Nutzer*innen aussieht: So sieht es aus, wenn eine Person etwas meldet, das nach ihrer Meinung nicht auf Facebook sein sollte, wenn einer Person mitgeteilt wird, dass sie gegen unsere Gemeinschaftsstandards verstoßen hat, und wenn eine Warnmeldung für bestimmte Inhalte angezeigt wird.
Hinweis: Wir nehmen ständig Verbesserungen vor. Deshalb könnte das, was hier zu sehen ist, im Vergleich zu dem, was wir zurzeit verwenden, nicht mehr ganz aktuell sein.
