Community Standards – Pusula Amerika

🛡️ Community Standards

Zero Tolerance: Pusula Amerika strictly prohibits any content, behavior, or material that sexually exploits or abuses children (CSAE — Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation) in any form. Violations result in immediate account termination and reporting to law enforcement.

1. Prohibited Content

Pusula Amerika expressly prohibits the following on its platform:

Any content that constitutes Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)
Any content that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers minors
Grooming, solicitation, or any predatory behavior targeting minors
Sharing, distributing, or linking to CSAM or related material
Any communication or content that facilitates child exploitation
Hate speech, harassment, or threats of any kind
Spam, misleading information, or fraudulent content

2. User Responsibilities

All users of Pusula Amerika agree to:

Comply with all applicable child safety laws and regulations
Refrain from posting, sharing, or promoting any content that harms, exploits, or endangers children
Report any suspicious activity or content involving minors immediately
Use the platform only for its intended purpose: connecting the Turkish-American community

3. Pre-Publication Review

Pusula Amerika has no public posting, comments, chat, or user profiles. Every business, event, job, and business-update submission is held in a private, pending state and is reviewed and approved by an authorized administrator before it becomes visible to any other user — nothing a user submits is ever published automatically.

4. Reporting, Hiding & Review Timeline

Every published business, event, and job listing has an in-app "Hide & Report" ("İçeriği Gizle ve Bildir") action. Selecting it immediately removes the item from that user's device (it will not reappear, even after restarting the app) and sends a report to our moderation team — no account or sign-in is required to report content.

All objectionable-content reports are reviewed by our moderation team within 24 hours. Content found to violate these standards is removed/unpublished. Where applicable, violations are also reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement authorities.

Because Pusula Amerika has no consumer accounts or user-to-user interaction, there is no traditional "block a user" feature. Instead, objectionable content is removed from the reporting user's device immediately, the developer is notified, and repeat or abusive submitters (identified through our private submission records) may be prevented from submitting further content.
