Child Safety Policy

Zoebook has strict child safety policies to protect minors from harm, including content that sexualizes, abuses, or endangers them. These policies prohibit content featuring minors in sexually suggestive ways, participating in dangerous activities, or suffering physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Also, Zoebook prohibits content that targets young minors with mature themes. Zoebook uses a combination of automated systems and human reviewers to enforce these policies and remove violating content.

Zoebook doesn’t allow content that endangers the emotional and physical well-being of anyone with the age below 18.

If you find content that violates this policy, report it. If you believe that a child is in danger, you should get in touch with your local law enforcement to report the situation immediately.

Zoebook can be reached immediately at info@zoebook.com to report any of the clauses mentioned above.

Severity and Importance of the Policy

Please do not post content on Zoebook if it fits any of the descriptions below.

Sexualization of Minors

Sexually explicit content featuring minors and content that sexually exploits minors including minor nudity posted with comedic intent. We report content containing child sexual abuse imagery to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who work with global law enforcement agencies.

Harmful or Dangerous Acts Involving Minors

Content showing a minor participating in dangerous activities or encouraging minors to do dangerous activities, particularly if someone watching could imitate the dangerous act or if the content encourages or praises the dangerous act.

Never put minors in harmful situations that may lead to injury, including dangerous stunts, challenges, dares, or pranks. Dangerous acts include, but are not limited to, any act in the categories listed under Extremely Dangerous challenges, such as asphyxiation or electrocution.

Examples include content that shows minors:

• Drinking alcohol
• Using vaporizers, e-cigarettes, tobacco, or marijuana
• Misusing fireworks
• Using firearms unsupervised
• Inflicting or advocating for the infliction of physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child, including inflicting emotional distress on minors

Content that contains infliction of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse of a child within an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context and with blurring may receive an exception.

Content that Could Cause Minor Participants or Viewers Emotional Distress

• Exposing minors to mature themes
• Simulating parental abuse
• Coercing minors
• Violence

Misleading Family Content

Content that targets young minors and families, but contains:

• Sexual themes
• Violence
• Obscenity or other mature themes not suitable for young audiences
• Medical procedures
• Self-harm
• Use of adult horror characters
• Other inappropriate themes intended to shock young audiences

Content that targets young minors and families with age-inappropriate themes within an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context may receive an exception. This is not a pass to target young minors and families with mature themes intended to shock young audiences.

Family friendly cartoons that target young minors and contain adult or age-inappropriate themes such as violence, sex, death, drugs, and more are not allowed. Content labeled as suitable for kids in the videos title, description, tags, or in the audience selection must not contain age-inappropriate themes.

Make sure your titles, descriptions, and tags match the audience you are targeting. In addition, ensure your audience selection accurately represents the audience your content is suitable for.

Cyberbullying and Harassment Involving Minors

Content that:

• Intends to shame, deceive or insult a minor
• Reveals personal information like email addresses or bank account numbers
• Contains sexualization
• Encourages others to bully or harass

This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, comments, posts, live streams, playlists, and any other Zoebook product or feature. Keep in mind that this is not a complete list.

Please note these policies also apply to external links in your content. This can include clickable URLs, verbally directing users to other sites in video, as well as other forms.

Age-Restricted Content

We may add an age restriction to content that includes any of the following:

• Harmful or dangerous acts that adults or minors could imitate: Content containing adults participating in dangerous activities that adults or minors could easily imitate.
• Note: Simply saying, “Don’t try this at home” may not result in an exception.
• Adult themes in family content: Content meant for adult audiences but could easily be confused with family content. This includes cartoons that contain adult themes such as violence, sex, or death.
• Vulgar language: Some languages are not appropriate for younger audiences. Content using sexually explicit language or excessive profanity may lead to age restriction.

Content Featuring Minors — Examples

Here are some examples of content not allowed on Zoebook:

• Videos or posts featuring minors involved in provocative, sexual, or sexually suggestive activities, challenges and dares, such as kissing or groping.
• Showing minors involved in dangerous activities. For example: performing stunts, using weapons or explosives, or consuming controlled substances such as alcohol, nicotine, vapes, or e-cigarettes.
• A video with tags like "for children", or whose audience is set to “Yes, it’s made for kids”, featuring family friendly cartoons engaging in inappropriate acts like injecting needles.

Remember these are just some examples, and do not post content if you think it might violate this policy.

What Happens if Content Violates This Policy

If your content violates this policy, we will remove the content and send you an email to let you know. If we can’t verify that a link you post is safe, we may remove the link. Note that violative URLs posted within the video itself or in the video’s metadata may result in the video being removed.

We have zero tolerance for predatory behavior on Zoebook. If we think a child is in danger based on reported content, we’ll help law enforcement investigate the content.
