Illustration: content that may be harmful or dangerous to the development of minors

What can be reported?

In the Other content harmful to minors category, we expect to receive reports of content which the reporting person deems to be harmful to the mental, spiritual, moral or physical development of minors and that does not fit into any of the other reporting categories.

Examples

  • A website with adult, pornographic content that does not use the 18+ rating and “meta tags” or does not apply them as required
  • Advertisements on YouTube not intended for minors

What happens to the report?

  1. Examining the reported content: We will investigate the content at the URL or link indicated in the report, if it is still available.
  2. Contacting the service provider or the social media platform: We will contact the content and/or hosting service provider, social media platform concerned, and ask for the content in question to be investigated and, if necessary, removed.
  3. Contacting the reporting person: In all cases where the report is not anonymous, i.e. the reporting person has provided their email contact details, we will inform the reporting person of the action taken. If necessary, we will ask for further information or clarification.

Before filing a report, please consider the following

  • Do you have a specific URL or link to the offending content that would allow the Internet Hotline to investigate your report?
  • Do you have any other evidence, such as a screenshot?

In what situations are we unable to help?

  • Block pornographic websites that are operating in compliance with the regulations.
