Transparency Reports (Annual)

1. Purpose & Scope

Transparency is a foundational principle of ReelCiety. This report is intended to inform users, creators, regulators, civil society, and business partners about how moderation, enforcement, and governance systems operate across the platform.

This report covers activity across ReelCiety for the applicable reporting year and includes data related to:

• Content moderation actions
• User reports and enforcement outcomes
• Appeals and reinstatement decisions
• Automated vs human moderation activity
• Legal and law enforcement requests
• Child safety and high-risk content escalations
• Platform integrity and abuse prevention efforts

2. Moderation Systems Overview

ReelCiety employs a layered moderation model combining automated detection systems, human review teams, escalation workflows, and policy oversight. Moderation actions may be initiated through:

• User-submitted reports
• Proactive automated detection
• Trust & Safety investigations
• Legal or regulatory notifications
• Emergency or crisis escalation pathways

Moderation decisions are guided by ReelCiety’s published policies and internal enforcement guidelines, reviewed regularly for consistency and legal compliance.

3. Content Enforcement Activity

During the reporting period, ReelCiety took enforcement action against content that violated platform policies. Enforcement actions include:

• Content removals
• Visibility limitations or reach reduction
• Account warnings or strikes
• Temporary account restrictions
• Permanent account bans

Enforcement decisions are proportionate, contextual, and severity-based. Certain violations—such as CSAM, credible threats of violence, or severe exploitation—result in immediate and irreversible actions.

4. User Reports & Flagging

ReelCiety provides accessible reporting tools allowing users to flag content or accounts for review. Reports may be submitted for:

• Harassment or hate speech
• Threats or violent content
• Misinformation or harmful deception
• Impersonation or identity abuse
• Child safety concerns
• Privacy violations or doxxing

Reports are triaged based on risk severity, with expedited handling for high-risk categories such as child safety or imminent harm.

5. Appeals & Reinstatement Outcomes

Users subject to enforcement actions may submit appeals through ReelCiety’s Appeals System. Appeals are reviewed by trained human moderators independent from the original enforcement decision.

Appeals outcomes include:

• Decision upheld
• Partial modification of enforcement
• Full reinstatement of content or account
• Escalation to senior review

Repeated or abusive appeals may be restricted to preserve system integrity.

6. Automated Moderation & AI Systems

ReelCiety uses automated systems to detect policy violations at scale, including machine-learning classifiers and rule-based detection models. Automated systems are primarily used to:

• Identify high-risk content for human review
• Detect spam, bots, and coordinated manipulation
• Surface child safety and exploitation signals
• Reduce exposure to harmful content

Automated systems do not operate without oversight. Human review remains central to enforcement for sensitive or complex cases.

7. Child Safety & High-Risk Escalations

Child safety remains a top priority. ReelCiety maintains zero tolerance for CSAM and grooming behavior. During the reporting period:

• Suspected CSAM was immediately removed
• Accounts were permanently terminated
• Reports were submitted to appropriate authorities
• Preservation orders were honored where required by law

8. Law Enforcement & Government Requests

ReelCiety receives requests from law enforcement and government authorities worldwide. Requests are reviewed for legal validity, jurisdiction, and scope before any action is taken.

Requests may include:

• Content removal orders
• Data preservation requests
• Emergency disclosure requests
• Account identification or subscriber information

Where legally permissible, ReelCiety notifies affected users of such requests.

9. Geographic & Jurisdictional Considerations

Enforcement activity may vary based on regional legal requirements. ReelCiety applies geo-blocking or jurisdiction-specific actions when required by local law while preserving global policy consistency.

10. Platform Integrity & Abuse Prevention

ReelCiety actively combats spam, coordinated inauthentic behavior, and manipulation. Integrity efforts include:

• Bot detection and removal
• Rate limiting and behavior analysis
• Network-based abuse detection
• Disruption of coordinated campaigns

11. Policy Updates & Governance

Policies referenced in this report are reviewed regularly and updated as needed to reflect:

• Regulatory changes
• Emerging risks
• Product or feature updates
• Learnings from enforcement outcomes

12. Limitations of Reporting

While ReelCiety strives for transparency, certain information may be withheld or aggregated to:

• Protect user privacy
• Preserve the effectiveness of safety systems
• Comply with legal confidentiality obligations

13. Publication & Accessibility

Annual Transparency Reports are published publicly and archived for reference. Historical reports may be accessed through ReelCiety’s Transparency Center.
