How does PlayHouse prevent non-consensual intimate images?

A non-consensual intimate image (NCII) is a nude or sexually explicit image or video of someone that was taken, made or shared without their consent. That includes content made privately and never meant to be shared, and fake or AI-altered images of a real person. It's prohibited on PlayHouse.

How we prevent it

• Creators are accountable. Creators verify their identity before they're approved, and each creator is responsible for what they post. Explicit content may feature only verified PlayHouse creators, each tagged by username, or another adult who has completed our release form. See Can my content feature other people?.
• Matching at upload. Every photo and video uploaded to PlayHouse is checked against the StopNCII.org and NCMEC Take It Down hash lists before it's published. We check content already on PlayHouse again when new hashes arrive.
• Specialist review. Suspected NCII is handled by trained reviewers, separately from everyday moderation.
• Removal requests. Anyone can ask us to remove an intimate image of them, with or without an account, and we act on valid requests within 48 hours. See How do I ask PlayHouse to remove an intimate image of me?.

What happens when content matches

A matching upload is held back from view while our team reviews it. When we confirm that content is non-consensual, we remove it and act against the account, up to a permanent ban. Where appropriate, we work with law enforcement. If your content was removed as NCII and you believe it's a mistake, you can ask for a review through the legal request form and choose Legal inquiry. A trained reviewer who wasn't involved in the original decision looks at it.

If it's you

• Ask us to remove it. See How do I ask PlayHouse to remove an intimate image of me?.
• Create hashes of your images at StopNCII.org, or at Take It Down if you were under 18, so partner platforms can block them. See How can I use StopNCII.org to protect my images?.
