Gema Child Safety Rules

Who these rules cover

Gema - Group Voice Room is a live group voice application published by Projuktir Pothe.

Projuktir Pothe is the team that builds and runs Gema. The same team sets these child-safety rules and acts on them. The rules apply to the app, to live rooms, and to anything a person sends or asks for through Gema.

Gema does not allow child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Harm to a child, sexual exploitation of a child, and any attempt to put a child in danger are outside the service entirely. Making that kind of material, handing it to someone else, asking for it, or encouraging it are all covered by this bar.

Who to contact

Child-safety reports can be sent straight to the team:

• Developer: Projuktir Pothe
• Application: Gema - Group Voice Room
• Responsible for child safety: ELA RANI SIKDER
• Email: mahabub5136@gmail.com

Use this address for a CSAE concern, a CSAM concern, or any other child-safety issue.

Who may join

Gema is built for people aged 18 and older. The team takes practical steps so that minors do not reach voice conversations and social features meant for adults.

• If an account appears to belong to a minor, the team may look into it and limit that account.
• An account involved in a child-safety breach may be closed for good.

Conduct that is never allowed

The following are not permitted on Gema. Each description is part of the same bar against CSAE.

• Sexual exploitation of a child. Using, pressuring, threatening, or manipulating a child for a sexual purpose.
• Grooming. Trying to win a child's trust in order to exploit, abuse, manipulate, or otherwise deal with that child in a sexual or otherwise improper way.
• Sextortion. Threatening or blackmailing a child with sexual material, pictures, recordings, or messages.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Making, uploading, sharing, requesting, sending, or otherwise distributing material that shows the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child.
• Any other danger to a child. Any activity that puts a child at risk of harm, abuse, or exploitation.

Live rooms and microphones

Gema offers real-time voice rooms. The team applies room rules so that harmful conduct can be found and stopped.

• Review of live rooms. Moderation and the safety tools the team has are used to spot possible breaches in a room and to respond to them.
• Hosts and the microphone. The person who opens a room is responsible for keeping that room safe. A host who knowingly lets improper interaction with a minor go on, or who otherwise breaks these rules, may have the room taken offline and the account restricted.
• People can report a conversation, a behavior, or an account from inside the app. A report that points to CSAE, CSAM, grooming, or another child-safety risk is reviewed before ordinary complaints.
• An account that is found to have broken these rules may be removed and not restored.

How to send a report

A person can report a suspected child-safety problem from inside Gema. A report may concern:

• Child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE)
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
• Grooming, or other improper contact with a minor
• Any other sign that a child may be at risk

The in-app report control is available on a user profile, inside a voice room, and on pages where people interact with content. The same report can be emailed to the address above.

What happens after a report

The team reads child-safety reports and applies a response that matches what the report shows.

• A possible breach. The report goes to human review first. The team then takes the measure that fits the case.
• Confirmed CSAM, CSAE, or grooming. The account is closed permanently, the violating material is removed, and the case is passed to the relevant authorities when the law requires that step.

A report about CSAM or CSAE is handled as an urgent safety matter. Once a violation is confirmed, action against the account can be taken immediately, with any further step that applicable law requires. Where the law asks the team to work with public authorities or with organizations that protect children, the team does so.

Working with authorities

When the law requires it, the team cooperates with law-enforcement agencies and with child-protection organizations.

If CSAM or CSAE is confirmed, the team may keep the records that matter and assist an authorized authority through the proper legal process.

When applicable law requires it, confirmed CSAM and other covered child-sexual-exploitation violations are reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, or to the law-enforcement authority that the law designates.
