Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Mistral will permanently delete your account and immediately report you to police if you generate or try to generate child sexual abuse material. There are no exceptions and no second chances.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Any user who attempts to generate CSAM — even unsuccessfully — will have their Mistral account permanently terminated and will be reported to law enforcement authorities, with no appeal process described in this policy.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

This is the most severe enforcement provision in the document — it triggers both automatic account termination and mandatory law enforcement referral for any attempt, not just successful generation.

View original clause language
Mistral AI has a zero tolerance policy regarding CSAM. Any generation or attempt to generate CSAM on our Mistral AI Products is strictly prohibited. We will report all actual or suspected CSAM to the relevant law enforcement authorities and will terminate your account.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implements obligations under EU Directive 2011/93/EU (combating sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children), France's LCEN, and equivalent national mandatory reporting laws. It also aligns with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) Article 14 (notice and action mechanisms for illegal content) and Article 36 (crisis response). Enforcement authorities include national police and judicial authorities in applicable jurisdictions, and the DSA enforcement body (European Commission for very large platforms). (2)
