Σκεπτικό πολιτικής
Δεν επιτρέπουμε κανενός είδους περιεχόμενο ή δραστηριότητα που συνιστά σεξουαλική εκμετάλλευση παιδιών ή θέτει παιδιά σε κίνδυνο. Εφόσον λάβουμε γνώση κάποιου περιστατικού προφανούς εκμετάλλευσης παιδιών, το αναφέρουμε στο National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), όπως απαιτείται από το νόμο. Γνωρίζουμε ότι, ορισμένες φορές, οι χρήστες κοινοποιούν γυμνές εικόνες των παιδιών τους έχοντας καλή πρόθεση. Ωστόσο, κατά κανόνα, αφαιρούμε αυτές τις εικόνες, λόγω της πιθανότητας κατάχρησής τους από τρίτους και επειδή θέλουμε να αποφύγουμε το ενδεχόμενο να τις χρησιμοποιήσουν ή να τις ιδιοποιηθούν άλλοι.
Επίσης, συνεργαζόμαστε με ανεξάρτητους ειδικούς, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Συμβουλευτικής επιτροπής για θέματα ασφάλειας του Meta, προκειμένου να συζητάμε και να βελτιώνουμε τις πολιτικές μας και την επιβολή των κανονισμών που σχετίζονται με θέματα ασφάλειας στο διαδίκτυο, και ειδικά σε ό,τι αφορά τα παιδιά. Μάθετε περισσότερα για την τεχνολογία που χρησιμοποιούμε για την καταπολέμηση της εκμετάλλευσης ανηλίκων.
Δεν επιτρέπονται οι δημοσιεύσεις που περιλαμβάνουν τα εξής:

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 FacebookMeta 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.

29 Ιαν 2021
Policy Rationale
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.

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.
