Scope

  • Identity-related content:

- Pictures, Videos

- all pieces of content that would reveal the identity of a person [i.e. we believe a general discussion of Star Wars Kid [1] is not necessarily bad; however pieces of content linking StarWars Kid's real name to the footage are potentially harmful for the person]

  • Minors:

- Content uploaded by minors about themselves or other minors

- excludes: 25 year-old uploads pictures of when 16

- Reference point: provision to wipe juvenile criminal record

Involved Parties
