Porn Tones – Our Commitment to Trust & Safety

At Porn Tones, the safety and security of our community come first. We believe that adult freedom of expression and an inclusive environment can only exist on a platform that users, creators, and partners can genuinely trust. Protecting our users from illegal and harmful content — especially child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual intimate images — is a core responsibility we share with every online service. Meeting this responsibility demands constant vigilance, innovation, cooperation with experts, and ongoing improvement.

We have built and continue to strengthen a multi-layered system designed to detect, block, remove, and report prohibited material before and after it reaches the platform. While independent child-protection organizations have acknowledged meaningful progress in our efforts, we recognize that safety work is never finished.


Key Safeguards & Initiatives We Have Implemented

Verified Uploaders Only

Porn Tones restricts content uploads exclusively to verified creators. No unverified accounts can publish videos, photos, or other media. Verified creators include:

  • Models enrolled in our Model Program
  • Studios and partners enrolled in our Content Partner Program

Verification requirements:

  • Every creator must submit valid government-issued photo ID proving they are at least 18 years old (or the higher age of majority in their jurisdiction).
  • For every performer appearing in uploaded content, the creator must maintain and — upon request — promptly provide:
    • Government-issued photo identification for all individuals
    • Signed consent/release forms confirming voluntary participation and agreement to distribution on Porn Tones
  • Creators certify compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 record-keeping obligations for all submitted material.

To apply or learn more about becoming a verified creator, visit the Model Program or Content Partner Program sections on the site.

Download Ban

We have permanently disabled the ability for users to download videos or images directly from Porn Tones. Combined with our content-fingerprinting technology, this measure significantly reduces the risk of removed material being re-uploaded elsewhere or recirculated on our platform.

Content Moderation System

We employ a combination of automated detection tools, artificial intelligence, and large teams of trained human moderators to review every upload before it goes live. Additional proactive sweeps continuously audit already-published content to catch any policy violations that may have slipped through.

Our banned-keyword list is extensive and regularly expanded. We actively monitor emerging search patterns that attempt to evade filters and update safeguards accordingly.

Key technologies we utilize include:

  • Proprietary fingerprinting (Safeguard) to block re-uploads of previously removed content
  • PhotoDNA (Microsoft) for known CSAM image matching
  • CSAI Match (YouTube) and Google Content Safety API for detecting child-exploitation imagery
  • MediaWise (Vobile) audiovisual fingerprinting
  • Safer (Thorn) — we were among the first adult platforms to integrate this tool
  • Instant Image Identifier (European Commission / Offlimits)
  • NCMEC and Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) hash databases
  • StopNCII.org hashes for preventing non-consensual intimate-image distribution
  • Age-estimation AI to flag potential underage appearances
  • Audio transcription + banned-word scanning
  • Watermark detection to identify and block related violative uploads

Users can report suspected violations directly:

All reports are treated confidentially and reviewed promptly.

Trusted Flagger Program

We maintain a formal Trusted Flagger Program with dozens of respected non-profit organizations, NGOs, and child-safety groups worldwide. Trusted Flaggers have priority access to our moderation team; content they identify as potentially violating policy is immediately disabled pending full review.

(Examples of current partners are available in our Transparency Reports.)

Reporting to Authorities

Since early 2020, Porn Tones has voluntarily participated in the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline program. We maintain an automated system to report apparent CSAM and cooperate fully with global law enforcement on investigations involving illegal content.

Transparency Reports

We publish semi-annual Transparency Reports detailing:

  • Volume and categories of reported/removed content
  • Moderation actions taken (proactive vs. reactive)
  • Results of our Trust & Safety efforts
  • Partnerships and technology deployments

Porn Tones was among the first adult platforms to release such reports (starting in 2021). These documents are publicly available on our site and aim to provide clear insight into how we detect, prevent, and respond to policy violations.


We remain fully committed to evolving our policies, tools, and partnerships to keep Porn Tones as safe as possible for adult users and creators. Safety is not a one-time achievement — it is an ongoing priority.
