The question we must confront is how technology partnerships can responsibly shape the future of adult content without sacrificing safety or creativity.
We believe collaboration between platforms, payment processors, creators, and regulators offers the best path forward to balance innovation with ethical obligations.
Together, we can design interoperable tools for age verification, consent tracing, and content classification that respect privacy while reducing exploitation.
We must also create shared standards for moderation, transparency reports, and avenues for creators to resolve disputes and receive fair compensation.
By pooling expertise, we unlock scalable machine learning systems that detect abuse, yet we pair those systems with human oversight to avoid bias and false positives.
As stewards of this ecosystem, we advocate for ongoing research, cross-sector audits, and community-led governance models.
Through principled partnerships, we can advance adult content innovation that prioritizes dignity, accountability, and the wellbeing of creators and consumers alike.
Partnership Principles
We’ll commit to transparent, safety-focused partnerships that prioritize user consent, age verification, and clear accountability.
We embrace partners who share our insistence on consent verification as a non-negotiable baseline.
- We’ll build systems that make consent visible, auditable, and revocable.
We’ll center privacy-preserving design in every integration so people feel secure and included rather than exposed.
- Privacy-by-default settings and minimized data collection will guide integrations.
- Design choices will favor user control and data minimization.
We’ll demand interoperable standards that support cross-platform moderation, enabling coordinated responses to harmful content while respecting context and nuance.
- Standards will enable sharing of signals and actions across platforms without exposing unnecessary personal data.
- Contextual metadata and provenance will be preserved to avoid overbroad enforcement.
We’ll create governance frameworks that let community voices influence policy.
- Participatory governance structures will include diverse community representation.
- Policy processes will be transparent and include channels for public input.
We’ll set measurable safety KPIs so progress isn’t just talk.
- KPIs will be specific, time-bound, and publicly reported.
- Metrics will include effectiveness, fairness, and unintended-impact monitoring.
We’ll share threat intelligence and tooling responsibly, and we’ll document our decisions so partners and users can hold us accountable.
- Information sharing will follow safeguards to prevent misuse and protect privacy.
- Decision records, rationales, and impact assessments will be published where possible.
We’ll prioritize accessible processes for reporting, remediation, and appeals, ensuring no one feels sidelined.
- Reporting channels will be easy to find and usable by people with varying abilities and languages.
- Appeals and remediation pathways will be timely, transparent, and include human review.
Together, we’ll advance technology that protects dignity and choice, balancing innovation with clear commitments to safety, privacy, and shared responsibility.
Age Verification Solutions
We’ll evaluate and adopt age verification solutions that reliably confirm users’ ages while minimizing data collection and preserving user privacy.
We’ll work together to implement systems that respect our community’s desire to belong without exposing unnecessary personal information.
By prioritizing privacy-preserving design, we will:
- Limit stored data to only what’s essential.
- Use cryptographic proofs where possible (for example, zero-knowledge proofs) to verify age without exposing identifiers.
- Ensure verifiers don’t retain identifiers long-term, enforcing retention limits and automatic deletion.
We’ll integrate consent verification as a complementary check, ensuring adults affirm their willingness to access content while:
- Keeping consent metadata minimal.
- Making consent records unlinkable to identity to prevent correlation across services.
Our partners will align on transparent policies and shared standards so users experience consistent cross-platform moderation and age controls across sites and apps.
We’ll choose vendors and open-source options that allow audits, interoperability, and minimal friction for legitimate users.
When challenges arise, we will address them collaboratively by:
- Updating methods as needed.
- Communicating changes clearly to users and partners.
Together we’ll build age verification that’s respectful, robust, and designed to protect both safety and privacy.
Consent Tracking Systems
We will implement consent tracking systems that record only the minimal, unlinkable metadata needed to prove an adult has given permission to view content, while preventing long‑term identity correlation.
We will center consent verification on short‑lived tokens tied to a specific session and purpose.
- Short‑lived tokens limit re‑use and reduce the need for people to re‑prove themselves frequently.
- Each token will be scoped to a single purpose and session to avoid cross‑context correlation.
We will adopt privacy‑preserving design principles that separate consent status from personal identifiers.
- Store consent status independently from identity data.
- Use technical and organizational measures to prevent profiling based on consent records.
We will share interoperable, hashed indicators that prove permission without revealing identity.
- Use strong, standardized hashing or tokenization schemes so partners can verify permission without accessing raw identifiers.
- Ensure indicators are context‑bound (purpose, time) to prevent replay or linkage.
We will give community members clear controls to revoke consent at any time.
- Provide simple, accessible UI/UX for revocation.
- Ensure revocation updates or invalidates associated tokens promptly across systems.
We will audit storage and access policies together, inviting partners and users into governance conversations so everyone’s voice shapes rules.
- Conduct regular joint audits of storage, access controls, and retention.
- Include community representatives in governance and policy reviews.
We will document technical specifications and retention limits openly, and publish transparency reports that show how consent data is used and deleted.
- Publish retention schedules, deletion procedures, and technical APIs.
- Release periodic transparency reports detailing usage, requests, and deletions.
By doing this, we will sustain trust across services while minimizing data exposure and strengthening mutual responsibility.
- Minimized data collection and unlinkability reduce privacy risk.
- Open governance and transparency foster accountability and community confidence.
Cross-Platform Moderation
We will collaborate across services to detect, share, and address harmful adult content while minimizing data sharing and preserving users’ privacy.
We believe cross-platform moderation strengthens community safety without isolating platforms or people; we’ll build shared signals and protocols so abusive patterns are recognized quickly and acted on consistently.
We’ll integrate consent verification standards into these efforts so verified permissions travel with content flags, reducing disputes and protecting creators.
We commit to interoperable reporting, rapid takedown coordination, and common appeal pathways so community members feel supported wherever they engage.
Our approach centers users who want belonging: we’ll be transparent about why content is moderated, offer clear remediation steps, and provide pathways back into the community when issues are resolved.
We’ll minimize sensitive data exchange, apply strict access controls, and audit processes regularly.
Through focused partnerships, shared learning, and accountable governance, cross-platform moderation can keep people safe and connected while respecting dignity and rights.

Shared Transparency Metrics
We will define a shared set of measurable transparency metrics so partners, creators, and users can reliably see how content decisions, payments, and safety efforts are made and tracked.
We will publish clear indicators for:
- moderation rates
- decision timelines
- payment timelines
- appeals outcomes
We will include consent verification audit logs and summaries that confirm creators’ permissions without exposing sensitive details.
We will adopt privacy-preserving design methods to report aggregate statistics and cryptographic proofs where needed, balancing openness with individual protection.
We will standardize labels and formats so dashboards from different platforms align, enabling meaningful comparisons and collaboration on cross-platform moderation.

How will these technology partnerships affect performers’ day-to-day creative control and the ability to independently produce and distribute content?
We see the question about creative control and independent distribution, and we’ll say partnership effects vary.
We’ll keep more control when platforms prioritize creator-led tools and clear rights; we’ll lose some when integrations centralize workflows or enforce policies.
We’ll push for transparent contracts, revenue fairness, and interoperable tools so we can independently produce, own our content, and still benefit from shared tech that amplifies reach without eroding agency.
What specific measures are in place to prevent smaller creators from being excluded or marginalized by larger platforms participating in these partnerships?
We’re committed to ensuring smaller creators aren’t pushed aside and to promoting inclusion.
Key commitments:
- Transparent revenue-sharing
- Accessible API access
- Fair discovery algorithms
- Funding for creator support programs
Policy and governance measures:
- Open standards to prevent lock-in and enable interoperability.
- Anti-monopoly clauses to limit dominant platforms from crushing competition.
- Arbitration paths designed so dispute resolution does not systematically favor large platforms.
Support and community measures:
- Cooperative networks to help creators pool resources and gain bargaining power.
- Mentorship grants to keep independent voices visible, viable, and connected within the ecosystem.
How will disputes between partners (for example over data use, moderation decisions, or revenue sharing) be resolved, and will dispute resolution be transparent to creators and users?
Dispute resolution procedure
We’ll resolve partner disputes through clear, jointly agreed procedures: mediation first, then arbitration if needed, with independent auditors for data and moderation audits.
Publication of outcomes
We’ll publish summaries of outcomes and rationales in accessible language so creators and users can see decisions without exposing private details.
Community review and feedback
We’ll commit to regular community review sessions and feedback channels so everyone feels heard.
