Under the UK Online Safety Act 2023, we are required to implement proportionate measures to detect, assess, and mitigate risks of illegal content. This includes maintaining systems for takedown and user reporting, and conducting regular risk assessments.
We are entitled to act in good faith and with due diligence on our own initiative and voluntarily conduct investigations or take other measures to detect, identify, and remove illegal content or to take the necessary steps to access or remove such content.

In addition, we will notify the competent authorities, in particular law enforcement, administrative, and communications authorities and regulators such as the ICO and Ofcom (for users residing in the UK), and will take measures to remove or render unlawful content inaccessible. We will, at the latest, at the time of executing the order or, where applicable, at the time specified by the issuing authority in its order, inform the relevant recipient of the service about the order received and its execution. The information provided to the recipient will include the reasons for the order, the available remedies, and the territorial scope of the order. If we become aware, based on an order issued by a public authority, that unlawful content is available through its service, we will remove the content without undue delay or disable access to it.
Content moderation decisions may involve the processing of personal data. We carry out such moderation in accordance with UK GDPR and ICO guidance, ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect for users’ information rights.
In the case of illegal content, the following methods may be used to make the content unavailable:
** Removal of content
** Termination of access to the content
** Suspension of service

Please note that we do not use any automated decision-making tools in the assessment of your notice. All moderation decisions are made by human reviewers in accordance with applicable law and our internal policies.
** We do not pre-screen or monitor (but we reserve the right to do so) user-generated content, including private messages and communications between users or results procured by users and therefore we do not endorse (and we expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with) any content or any other materials uploaded or exhibited or otherwise exploited by users.
