Safety and consent

Uploading is the declaration

There is no consent checkbox, because a checkbox is not a control — it is a place to click through. Uploading a photo is itself the declaration: you are stating that the material is yours, or that you have the permission of the person in it.

What we record is the upload: the account, the time, the address it came from, and the file's own fingerprint. That record is what a takedown request is checked against.

Uploads are reviewed, and anything the review is unsure about goes to a person rather than through. What we do not do is claim a gate we do not operate — see "what we have not finished" below.

Everything generated is labelled

Images and video are marked as AI-generated in the interface, and the character never claims to be a real person or a living mind. Embedded provenance — the generating model and job id written into the file itself, so the mark survives a download — is on the list below and is not shipped yet.

A character will not claim to be a real person, or to be a living consciousness.

Minors

YOUWORLD is 18+. Uploads that read as a minor go to human review and do not pass automatically. Sexual content involving minors is reported, not merely blocked.

The children's companionship scenario uses a separate, restricted prompt and content set, and is not the same system with a filter on top.

Getting something removed

If a character uses your face or voice without permission, write to abuse@youhere.live with enough detail to identify it. We restrict first and investigate after — the wrong outcome of waiting is worse than the wrong outcome of pausing.

You do not need an account to file a report.

What we have not finished

Three things are not in place yet: the image and video classifier, provenance written into the generated files themselves, and signed expiring links for uploaded media. Until the classifier lands, video uploads are held for review rather than passed, and unknown input is treated as needing review rather than as safe.

We would rather say this plainly than let the absence read as an absence of risk.
