เหตุผลสำหรับนโยบาย
เราไม่อนุญาตให้มีเนื้อหาหรือกิจกรรมที่แสวงหาประโยชน์ทางเพศจากเด็กหรือเป็นอันตรายต่อเด็ก เมื่อเราทราบถึงการแสวงหาประโยชน์จากเด็กอย่างชัดเจน เราจะรายงานไปยังศูนย์แห่งชาติสำหรับเด็กที่สูญหายและถูกฉวยโอกาส (NCMEC) โดยเป็นไปตามกฎหมายที่บังคับใช้ เราทราบว่าบางครั้งผู้คนแชร์ภาพเปลือยของบุตรหลานของตนด้วยเจตนาที่ดี อย่างไรก็ตาม เรามักลบภาพเหล่านี้เนื่องจากอาจมีผู้อื่นตอบสนองอย่างไม่เหมาะสม และเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงไม่ให้ผู้คนนำภาพไปใช้ต่อหรือนำไปใช้งานในทางที่ไม่เหมาะสม
นอกจากนี้ เรายังร่วมมือกับผู้เชี่ยวชาญจากภายนอก รวมถึงคณะกรรมการที่ปรึกษาด้านความปลอดภัยของ Meta เพื่อหารือและปรับปรุงนโยบายและการบังคับใช้นโยบายด้านความปลอดภัยออนไลน์ โดยเฉพาะที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเด็ก เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติมเกี่ยวกับเทคโนโลยีที่เราใช้เพื่อต่อสู้กับการแสวงหาประโยชน์จากเด็ก

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 remove imagery depicting the aftermath of non-sexual child abuse when reported by news media partners, NGOs, or other trusted safety partners.
We may remove content that identifies alleged victims of child sexual exploitation through means other than name or image if content includes information that is likely to lead to the identification of the individual.
We may remove content created for the purpose of identifying a private minor if there is a risk to the minor’s safety, when requested by Law Enforcement, Government, Trusted Partner, or the content is self-reported by the minor or the minor’s parent/legal guardian
We have updated the examples in the Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Nudity (CSEAN) policies based on recent application.
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.

We may remove imagery depicting the aftermath of non-sexual child abuse when reported by news media partners, NGOs, or other trusted safety partners.
We may remove content that identifies alleged victims of child sexual exploitation through means other than name or image if content includes information that is likely to lead to the identification of the individual.
We may remove content created for the purpose of identifying a private minor if there is a risk to the minor’s safety, when requested by Law Enforcement, Government, Trusted Partner, or the content is self-reported by the minor or the minor’s parent/legal guardian.
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 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.
