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.
Scope of this assessment area
The biggest harms on adult platforms are rarely the work of a single bad actor. They are run as small businesses, with scripts, shared infrastructure and rotating staff. Per-account moderation cannot see this. Network-aware moderation can.
What we look for
Observable patterns that trigger investigation under this area.
Criteria a platform is scored against
Each criterion is publicly defined and applied consistently across every platform we review.
Network-aware moderation
Decisions made on the cluster, not just the account.
Link analysis on payments
Wallets / processor endpoints clustered and risk-scored.
Persistent bans across ownership
Studio rebrands don't reset the safety record.
Sister-platform coordination
Bans on one shared with the rest of the corporate group.
Published de-platforming criteria
Network-level enforcement criteria public and reviewable.
If you are affected - what to do first
Sequential, low-risk actions you can take right now.
Bundle complaints across victims
Volume of complaints against a network is more effective than one.
Hand the platform the network graph
Handles, wallets, scripts, IPs - make their job possible.
Escalate to cyber-fraud unit
National cyber-fraud teams handle network-scale operations.
Share anonymised pattern
Safety researchers and NGOs use anonymised data to disrupt at scale.
