Unless otherwise defined in this Policy, terms take the same meaning as outlined in our Terms of Service.

 

When We Moderate Content

While Megirlnextdoor is a platform for genuine expression and connection, we moderate content to ensure it complies with our Terms of Service, including our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines.

 

Why We Moderate Content

Megirlnextdoor enables creators to monetize their work and engage with their audience. To protect our user community, we may choose to moderate content to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service.

 

What Content We Moderate

We reserve the right to review and remove any type of content shared on Megirlnextdoor, including text, audio, images, direct messages, and videos.

 

How We Moderate Content

We use advanced digital technologies alongside human moderation to verify whether the content aligns with our policies. Our trained moderators identify and take action to remove any content that they believe violates our Terms of Service.

 

Technologies We Use for Moderation

We employ a variety of technology tools to detect potential violations:

- Hashlists and Stop Words: We use collections of unique identifiers (hashlists) and blocked terms (stop words) to scan media, audio, and text for prohibited content, including non-consensual intimate images (NCII) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Content that matches these hashlists or stop words is automatically blocked from appearing on Megirlnextdoor.

- Image and Text Scanning Tools: These tools help our moderators prioritize their review by flagging potential violations automatically, which are then reviewed by human moderators before any content is deactivated.

 

Consequences of Sharing Improper Content

If a user shares content that violates our Terms of Service, actions may include:

- Deactivating the content,

- Issuing a warning,

- Issuing a final warning,

- Deactivating the account,

- Banning the account holder from Megirlnextdoor.

 

For serious or repeated violations, we may suspend or terminate the user’s account(s) and prohibit them from creating new accounts on Megirlnextdoor.

 

Common Reasons for Content Removal

- Featuring a creator who cannot be verified as 18+,

Handling Illegal Content

Megirlnextdoor will deactivate any illegal content and, if appropriate, report it to law enforcement agencies. We report all suspected CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) through their CyberTipline.
