JOURNAL DES CHANGEMENTS
Justification de la politique
Comme indiqué dans la Politique relative à l'exploitation sexuelle d’adultes, les utilisateurs utilisent nos services pour discuter et attirer l'attention sur la violence et l'exploitation sexuelles. Nous reconnaissons l'importance de cette discussion et l'autorisons. Nous autorisons également les discussions sur la défense des droits des travailleurs du sexe et la réglementation du travail du sexe. Cependant, nous fixons la limite aux contenus qui facilitent les rencontres sexuelles ou les services sexuels commerciaux entre adultes, ou lorsque les contenus demandent ou proposent des contenus pornographiques ou sexuels. Nous faisons cela afin d'éviter de faciliter des transactions pouvant impliquer la traite de personnes, la coercition et des actes sexuels non consentis.
Nous limitons également les propos sexuellement explicites pouvant mener à des sollicitations sexuelles, car certains membres de notre communauté mondiale peuvent être sensibles à ce type de contenu, qui peut nuire à la capacité des utilisateurs à communiquer avec leurs amis et la communauté en général.
Nous n’autorisons pas ce qui suit :
Le contenu qui propose, sollicite ou fournit des moyens de communiquer en vue de se livrer à la prostitution, définie comme le fait de solliciter ou de s'offrir pour des relations sexuelles en échange d'argent ou de toute autre chose de valeur, en :
  • Proposant ou sollicitant des relations sexuelles (par exemple, services d'escorte, massages sexuels ou érotiques, discussions ou conversations à caractère sexuel, services fétichistes ou de domination)
  • Utilisant le jargon associé à la prostitution, combiné à une demande ou une offre de disponibilité, un prix ou tout autre signe indiquant une transaction en échange d'argent ou d'un objet de valeur, un lieu ou des coordonnées.
  • Se livrant à des sollicitations à caractère sexuel accompagnées d'une offre d'argent ou de quelque chose de valeur en échange
  • Décrivant ou mentionnant des rencontres à caractère sexuel ou des partenaires contre rémunération ou tout autre signe de transaction monétaire ou en nature.
  • Le recrutement ou l'offre de services sexuels à des tiers à des fins commerciales est couvert par la politique relative à l'exploitation humaine.
Le contenu qui incite à la sollicitation sexuelle en proposant, demandant ou fournissant des moyens de mise en relation à des fins sexuelles, tels que :
  • Les rapports sexuels ou la stimulation sexuelle
  • Le sexe oral
  • Le fétichisme sexuel
  • Les discussions ou clavardages à caractère sexuel
  • Les massages à caractère sexuel ou érotique
  • Les danses érotiques ou le déshabillage
  • Le partage d'images de nudité (telles que des photos ou vidéos à caractère sexuel)
Le contenu qui demande, propose ou fournit des moyens de communication pour obtenir du matériel pornographique, ou qui contient des noms d'utilisateur ou des liens vers des sites pornographiques.
Le langage sexuellement explicite qui utilise des détails explicites ou graphiques concernant :
  • Les organes génitaux,
  • Les stades de l'excitation sexuelle (par exemple, humidité ou érection)
  • Les rencontres de nature sexuelle
  • Ce qui précède n'inclut pas le contenu partagé dans un contexte humoristique, satirique ou en tant qu'insulte à caractère sexuel
Nous autorisons les contenus qui sont par ailleurs couverts par cette politique lorsqu'ils sont publiés dans un contexte de condamnation, d'éducation, de sensibilisation ou d'information. Nous n'interdisons pas non plus les discussions sur les pratiques sexuelles dans le cadre de cette politique. Toutefois, celles-ci pourraient être réservées aux adultes de plus de 18 ans, conformément à la politique en matière de santé et de bien-être, afin de garantir aux mineurs des expériences adaptées à leur âge.
Pour le contenu suivant, nous limitons l’accès aux adultes de 18 ans et plus.
  • Le contenu traitant de pratiques ou d'expériences sexuelles
  • Le contenu contenant des noms d'utilisateur, des liens vers ou des logos de sites Web d'abonnement pour adultes
  • Le langage sexuellement explicite dans un contexte humoristique ou satirique, y compris les métaphores sexuelles
  • Le langage sexuellement suggestif faisant référence à des relations sexuelles
Afin de faire respecter les Normes de la communauté suivantes, nous avons besoin d’informations ou de contexte supplémentaires pour les appliquer :
  • Dans certains cas, nous autoriserons des contenus qui pourraient autrement enfreindre les Normes de la communauté lorsqu'il est établi que ces contenus sont satiriques. Le contenu ne sera autorisé que si les éléments litigieux sont satirisés ou attribués à quelqu'un ou quelque chose d'autre dans le but de le ridiculiser ou de le critiquer.

  • Suggestive statements, such as “looking for a good time tonight”
  • Sexualized slang
  • Sexual hints such as mentioning sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (sexual penetration or self-pleasuring), commonly sexualized areas of the body such as the breasts, groin, or buttocks, state of hygiene of genitalia or buttocks

Sexually explicit language that adds details and goes beyond mere naming or mentioning of:
  • A state of sexual arousal (wetness or erection)

Recent media coverage and online conversation has revealed that our Sexual Solicitation policy is not entirely clear and has led to confusion and concern.
To that end, we have revised the language to clarify our policy. Under the policy, implicit sexual solicitation is not allowed. We define implicit sexual solicitation as an offer or ask to engage paired with at least one suggestive element, which would not violate on its own.
Deciding where to draw the line is always a challenge and we welcome feedback on how we can continue to improve and update our policies. Our approach has been to ensure Facebook is not a place for coordinating sexual activity.
Policy Rationale
As noted in Section 8 of our Community Standards (Sexual Exploitation of Adults), people use Facebook to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We recognize the importance of and want to allow for this discussion. We draw the line, however, when content facilitates, encourages or coordinates sexual encounters between adults. We also restrict sexually explicit language that may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content and it may impede the ability for people to connect with their friends and the broader community.

This policy, which disallows sexual solicitation, has long been in place under the headings of “Sexual Exploitation of Adults” and "Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity" (Section 14). We know sexual solicitation isn’t necessarily exploitative, and that the language we use and their organization under our Community Standards matter a lot. We also heard from our review teams that the policy as previously written wasn't clear, so we sought to distinguish the solicitation policy with its own heading (See Section 15: Sexual Solicitation) and removed this language from the Sexual Exploitation of Adults section of our Community Standards.
This policy change went through our formal policy process in 2018, which included getting external input from a number of stakeholders.
The policy covers 1) coordination and recruitment of sexual activities, 2) explicit sexual solicitation, and 3) implicit sexual solicitation, 4) offers or asks for pornography or sexual partners, and 5) sexually explicit language.
