Child Safety Policy
Last updated: January 15th, 2025
Viberse is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and responsible environment for all users. Our platform is intended for individuals aged 13 or older. We recognize the importance of protecting young people, especially minors—defined generally as anyone under the age of 18—from exploitation, abuse, and harm. While users under 13 are not permitted on our platform, we take additional measures to safeguard all users, particularly those under 18. This Child Safety Policy outlines our approach to ensuring a safe and secure community.
How Should You Post
Viberse strictly prohibits any content that depicts or promotes the exploitation or abuse of minors. This includes:
1.
Child sexual abuse and exploitation
2.
Child pornography
3.
Content depicting physical, emotional, or psychological violence or abuse towards minors
4.
Content that puts minors at risk, such as sharing personal information or encouraging dangerous activities
5.
Inappropriate interactions between adults and minors, including grooming or solicitation
If your content fits any of the above descriptions, do not post it on Viberse. We will remove such content, and the responsible accounts may be temporarily suspended or permanently banned.
