Media.com is committed to protecting network users against adult sexual abuse and the sharing of non-consensual intimate imagery. We recognize the profound impact and violation of privacy and dignity this represents, and will take action where we feel necessary to protect the safety of our users.

The following conduct is prohibited on Media.com:

• offering rewards, financial incentives or non-financial incentives in exchange for intimate images or videos; and,
• any conduct that might constitute blackmail or a form of blackmail relating to content of a sexual nature.

Media.com, at our sole discretion, may allow users to publish:

•  consensually produced non-pornographic, adult content marked as sensitive; and/or, 
•  content shared for educational, documentary, or denunciatory purposes that contains appropriate context and sensitivity measures.

Users can flag content on Media.com they believe to be in violation of this policy via our reporting tool.
