Content Moderation Plan

Sliqd Limited operates a multi-layered content moderation system to protect users, comply with the Online Safety Act 2023, and maintain the integrity of the Sliqd Platform. Sliqd takes responsibility for all content published on the Platform and moderates all content before publication in accordance with this Policy.

The following content is prohibited and results in immediate removal. Where illegal, it is also referred to law enforcement:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), blocked at upload via IWF Image Intercept before publication; reported to IWF and NCMEC immediately upon detection; permanent ban and law enforcement referral
• Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), removed within 24 hours of credible report
• Content facilitating terrorism or human trafficking, immediate removal, permanent ban, law enforcement referral
• Content inciting violence or hatred, immediate removal
• Bestiality, content depicting or suggesting sexual acts involving animals or non-human creatures, immediate removal, permanent ban, law enforcement referral where applicable
• Content depicting or including weapons, content not published; removed on detection
• Content depicting or describing blood, including menstrual blood or any reference to menstruation, content not published; removed on detection
• Content depicting or describing scat or any bodily waste, content not published; removed on detection
• Content depicting or including alcoholic beverages, anything that may reasonably appear to be an alcoholic beverage, or any illegal or controlled substance, content not published; removed on detection
• Content depicting or including animals or pets of any kind, content not published; removed on detection
• Content depicting any person other than the verified Creator, or a tagged and consented verified User, including any incidental or background person, whether in the distance, in a reflection, or otherwise. Such persons may not be blurred or obscured as an alternative to removal, content not published

• CSAM / illegal content: immediate removal, permanent ban, law enforcement report, no appeal
• Non-consensual imagery: removal within 24 hours, account suspension, referral to NCII helpline
• Blood, scat, alcohol or drugs, animals, or unauthorised third parties in content: content not published; removed on detection; repeated violations escalate under the strike system
• Counterfeit goods: Listing removal, seller warning, escalation to ban on repeat
• Misleading provenance claims: listing removal or correction; isolated genuine errors resolved without penalty; repeated or deliberate misrepresentation investigated and escalated under the strike system
• Prohibited items: listing removal, warning or suspension depending on severity
• Content policy violations: warning, removal, or suspension depending on severity and history
• Bestiality: immediate removal, permanent ban, law enforcement referral, no appeal

In compliance with Visa and Mastercard requirements, Sliqd maintains a blocked keyword list applied to listing titles, descriptions, tags, usernames, messages, and search terms, and screens all uploaded media for prohibited content. The Platform must not allow content, titles, tags, or search functionality to imply, suggest, or display prohibited content categories. The following terms and categories are blocked:

• Terms implying minors in a sexual context, including but not limited to: "underage", "teen" (in sexual context), "young", "barely legal", "schoolgirl/schoolboy" (in sexual context)
• Terms implying non-consensual activity, including but not limited to: "force", "forced", "rape", "non-con", "coerced", "drugged", "asleep", "unconscious", "passed out", "intoxicated"
• Terms implying bestiality or trafficking
• Blood, including any reference to menstrual blood or menstruation, in both text and media
• Scat or other bodily waste, in both text and media
• Alcoholic beverages, anything that may reasonably appear to be an alcoholic beverage, or any illegal or controlled substance, in both text and media
• Animals or pets of any kind, in both text and media
• Any person other than the verified Creator or a tagged, consented verified User, including any incidental or background person, whether in the distance, in a reflection, or otherwise. Such persons may not be blurred or obscured as an alternative to removal

The blocked keyword list and content rules are maintained by Sliqd and reviewed quarterly. Any listing, message, or search query triggering a blocked keyword, and any uploaded media containing prohibited content, is automatically held for review and not published or surfaced until cleared by a moderator. The list is updated promptly when new prohibited terms or content types are identified.

Users may report any content or account by using the in-platform report function or by emailing reports@sliqd.com.

Reports are acknowledged within 24 hours and actioned within timeframes set by content category. Users who make reports are notified of the outcome.

Sliqd will publish periodic transparency reports detailing:

• Monthly reports submitted to our payment processor detailing: volume of flagged content by category, content removed, accounts actioned, user complaints received, and IWF/NCMEC referrals, in compliance with applicable Visa and Mastercard requirements
• Volume of content removed by category
• Volume of accounts suspended or terminated
• Volume of law enforcement referrals
• User reports received and actioned
• Appeal outcomes

Sliqd does not currently offer live streaming functionality. In the event that live streaming is introduced, the following controls will be required before launch:

• Full moderation control over all live streams, including the ability to terminate any stream immediately
• Verified identity and age confirmation required for all live streamers before going live
• Automated detection of prohibited content in live streams with automatic termination capability
• Only verified content providers permitted to initiate live streams - no anonymous or unverified live streaming

This Content Moderation Plan is designed to comply with Sliqd's duties under the Online Safety Act 2023 as a user-to-user service, including illegal content duties, adult content duties, and transparency obligations. The plan is reviewed and updated in line with Ofcom codes of practice.
