01
Child & teen safety
Protecting under-18s from grooming, sexualised exposure, fake adult profiles, coercive private contact, sextortion and unsafe live-streaming environments. The single most important safety surface on every platform we review.
Twelve dimensions
Every safety dimension we measure.
Twelve risk areas, each with published indicators, criteria and remediation steps. Click an area to view the assessment template applied to every platform.
02
Age verification & identity integrity
Whether a platform can actually tell who is on either side of an interaction - and how easily that breaks. Weak age and identity checks are the root cause behind most of the other risks on this site.
03
Creator & model safety
Stalking, doxxing, agency pressure, earnings control and unsafe working conditions for the people on camera. The performer side of the platform is too often treated as content rather than as workers.
04
Coercion & modern slavery
When the person on camera is not freely participating - debt bondage, third-party control, exploitative recruitment and trafficking indicators that platforms are increasingly responsible for detecting.
05
Privacy & data exposure
How private recordings, identity documents, viewing history and payment details are collected, stored, retained and ultimately leaked or sold by adult platforms.
06
Sextortion & blackmail
When sexual interaction becomes leverage. Photos, recordings or fake-relationship trust used to extract money, more intimate content, or both - and recurring scripts that show coordinated operation.
07
Financial abuse & laundering risk
How tipping, tokens, fan-club fees and crypto rails on adult platforms are used for fraud, coercive payment patterns and money-laundering - well beyond the typical entertainment-spending category.
08
AI, deepfakes & synthetic harm
AI-generated profiles, voice clones, deepfake nudes and automated grooming bots running at industrial scale. The fastest-growing category of harm and the one least covered by existing platform policies.
09
Cross-platform manipulation
How harm starts on one platform and continues through WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram or crypto wallets - often invisible to any single platform's safety team and rarely investigated end-to-end.
10
Content creation ethics
Attention loops, addiction mechanics, parasocial pressure and monetisation patterns that push both creators and viewers into unhealthy or unsafe behaviour - by design, not by accident.
11
Complaint handling standards
Whether a platform actually responds when a victim reports something - including evidence preserved off-platform - and how transparent the appeals process is when it doesn't.
12
Organized network indicators
Patterns that suggest more than one operator behind an account, a studio or a network - coordinated scripts, shared payment channels and reused profile artefacts that single-account moderation will miss.
