This provision reflects categorical legal prohibitions under federal and state law; its inclusion as an explicit acceptable use restriction establishes a compliance baseline but does not change underlying legal obligations, which apply regardless of platform policy.
This provision was extracted and specialized from the broader 'Prohibited Harmful and Illegal Content' rule, with explicit terminology (CSAM) and specific age threshold added for clarity.

"You may not use ElevenLabs to generate content that sexually exploits minors, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or content that sexualizes individuals under the age of 18.Excerpt from ElevenLabs's Usage Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Federal law under 18 U.S.C. prohibits child sexual abuse material including synthetic and AI-generated content depicting minors in sexual contexts. The EARN IT Act and related federal legislative developments address platform obligations regarding CSAM detection and reporting. NCMEC CyberTipline reporting obligations apply to electronic service providers. Enforcement authority includes DOJ, FBI, and NCMEC. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low as a compliance exposure for legitimate users; categorical prohibition reflects legal requirements. High reputational and legal exposure for any violation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Federal prohibition applies in the United States; analogous prohibitions exist across all major jurisdictions globally. There are no jurisdictional carve-outs or ambiguities in this provision. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether their own acceptable use policies and content moderation frameworks for end users address AI-generated CSAM in terms consistent with their legal obligations and ElevenLabs' policy requirements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Enterprise API customers should implement content moderation and reporting workflows consistent with applicable CSAM detection and mandatory reporting obligations under federal and state law, independent of ElevenLabs' platform-level controls.
