Area 03 · Creator welfare

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.

What this covers

Scope of this assessment area

A platform that protects viewers but exploits performers is not a safe platform. We look for evidence that the people generating revenue have independent control of their earnings, identity and exit.

Assessment framework

Criteria a platform is scored against

Each criterion is publicly defined and applied consistently across every platform we review.

Independent earnings access

Performer can withdraw to their own bank, in their own name, without an intermediary.

Panic & opt-in moderation

One-click hide / kick / ban during a live session.

Safe-exit support

Account closure without losing earned balance; data export on request.

Identity-protection tooling

Region / IP block lists; reverse-image alerts; verified takedown channel.

Practical next steps

If you are affected - what to do first

Sequential, low-risk actions you can take right now.

STEP 01

Contact a worker helpline

Anti-trafficking and adult-industry worker organisations can act confidentially.

STEP 02

Preserve contracts & chats

Photograph contracts, save chat logs, store off-device.

STEP 03

Transfer to independent account

If safe to do so, move balances and ID to an account only you control.

STEP 04

Request studio reassignment

Ask the platform to detach you from the current studio / manager.
