Child Safety Standards

AfroMax is committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment that protects children from exploitation, abuse, and harm. As an 18+ platform, we have implemented comprehensive safety standards and reporting mechanisms to prevent, detect, and respond to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

1. Age Verification and Access Control

AfroMax maintains strict age verification to ensure only users 18 years and older can access our platform:

• All users must verify they are 18+ during account creation through multiple verification methods.
