1Othord is for adults
Othord is only for people aged 18 and over. Everyone confirms their age when they sign up. When I learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, I delete it.
2What’s prohibited
There is zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation on Othord. In posts, comments, messages, profile photos, bios and usernames, it is forbidden to:
- share, ask for or link to child sexual abuse material, real or generated;
- post anything that sexualises a minor;
- groom a minor, or contact a minor for sexual purposes;
- extort anyone with sexual images (sextortion), or traffic or exploit a child in any way;
- post anything else that puts a child in danger.
3How to report it
If a child is in immediate danger, call the police right away: 19 in Morocco (or 177, the Gendarmerie royale, outside towns), or your local emergency number.
- In the app: report the post, the comment or the account from its menu (•••, or press and hold a comment) and choose Involves a minor. These reports reach me straight away, marked urgent.
- By email: write to hello@othord.com with the subject Child safety, the username and where you saw it. Don’t send me the images themselves.
You can also report it directly to Morocco’s national police (DGSN) on e-blagh.ma, their platform for reporting illegal content online, or to the NCMEC CyberTipline or the Internet Watch Foundation.
4What I do
- Reports involving a minor come first, before anything else.
- I remove the content and permanently ban the account.
- I keep the evidence: a copy of what was reported is held with the report, even if the account is deleted.
- I report it to the DGSN through e-blagh.ma, and cooperate with the police and the public prosecutor.
- I comply with Moroccan law on the protection of children.
