"For exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm, children in any way, whether or not prohibited by Law, including by: distributing or promoting child sexual abuse material; facilitating or promoting trafficking, sextortion, grooming, or abuse of children; exposing children to sexual or other inappropriate content; collecting children's personal information without proper disclosures and consent; or using children's personal information for secondary purposes without proper disclosures and consent. Report any violations of this AUP relating to exploitation or abuse of children, including child sexual abuse material, to the National Center of Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other relevant authorities and organizations.— Excerpt from Pika's Pika Acceptable Use Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision reflects obligations under 18 U.S.C. Section 2258A, which requires electronic service providers to report apparent violations involving child sexual exploitation to NCMEC. It also engages COPPA with respect to children's personal information, and state-level child protection statutes. The provision's phrase 'whether or not prohibited by Law' asserts a standard beyond minimum legal compliance. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. CSAM-related violations carry criminal liability under federal and state law. The NCMEC reporting commitment reflects a legally grounded obligation for covered service providers. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Federal law in the United States, EU law under the CSA Regulation proposal, and UK Online Safety Act obligations all create heightened requirements in this area. The prohibition on collecting children's personal information without proper disclosures engages COPPA for US-based users under 13. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers deploying Pika in educational or youth-facing contexts should verify that their own consent and disclosure frameworks for children's personal information comply with COPPA and applicable state law. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The explicit NCMEC reporting commitment should be noted in data handling and incident response planning. Organizations should ensure their internal policies prohibit use of Pika in any context involving minors' personal data without proper COPPA-compliant consent mechanisms.
