"You may not use ElevenLabs' services to generate content that sexually exploits minors, including content that depicts, describes, or promotes the sexual abuse or exploitation of children.Excerpt from ElevenLabs's Safety Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages 18 U.S.C. 2256 and related federal statutes prohibiting child sexual abuse material, as well as the PROTECT Act. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline reporting obligations apply to electronic service providers who discover CSAM on their platforms. The EU's proposed Child Sexual Abuse Regulation also imposes detection and reporting obligations on online service providers operating in the EU. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Platforms that generate audio content must maintain detection and reporting mechanisms for CSAM-equivalent material consistent with federal mandatory reporting obligations. The document's prohibition is consistent with legal requirements, but compliance teams should confirm that ElevenLabs maintains NCMEC CyberTipline reporting procedures and that these are documented in vendor agreements for enterprise deployments. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This prohibition applies globally. Federal law in the United States, EU member state law, and UK law all impose mandatory prohibitions and reporting obligations for CSAM. Enterprise customers in regulated industries should confirm that ElevenLabs' detection and reporting procedures satisfy applicable mandatory reporting obligations in their operating jurisdictions. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise vendor agreements should confirm that ElevenLabs maintains mandatory CSAM detection, reporting, and escalation procedures. Procurement teams should request documentation of the company's NCMEC reporting status and content moderation procedures for CSAM detection as part of standard due diligence. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: No affirmative user action is required beyond compliance with the prohibition. Enterprise customers should ensure that their own acceptable use policies pass through this prohibition to end users and that their terms of service establish equivalent restrictions.
