Safety Standards &
Content Policy (UGC)

01 · Zero tolerance policy

Dit maintains an absolute zero-tolerance policy toward any form of offensive content, abusive behaviour, or harmful interactions on our platform. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Bullying and harassment — repeated unwanted signals, intimidation, or any behaviour intended to distress, humiliate, or threaten another user.
• Hate speech — content or behaviour that promotes violence, discrimination, or hostility against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic.
• Threats and violence — any direct or implied threats of physical harm, violence, or self-harm directed at any user.
• Impersonation — creating accounts that impersonate other individuals, organisations, or entities with intent to deceive or cause harm.
• Spam and abuse of the signal system — sending excessive unsolicited signals with intent to harass, flood, or disrupt another user's experience.

While Dit is not a messaging platform and does not transmit text, images, or media between users, we recognise that the signal system (dit/dah) and user profile features (username, name, bio) can be misused. We take all forms of abuse equally seriously regardless of the mechanism used.

02 · Child safety

Our commitment

Dit is committed to the safety of minors on our platform. We adhere to the following principles:

• Zero tolerance for CSAM — any content, profile information, or use of the platform that involves, depicts, promotes, or facilitates child sexual abuse material is absolutely prohibited.
• Zero tolerance for CSAE — any behaviour that constitutes, promotes, or facilitates the sexual abuse or exploitation of children — including grooming, solicitation, trafficking, or any form of predatory behaviour — is absolutely prohibited.
• Immediate account termination — any account suspected of involvement in CSAM or CSAE activities will be immediately and permanently suspended without prior notice.
• Mandatory reporting to authorities — all suspected CSAM or CSAE activity is reported to the relevant law enforcement authorities and child protection organisations, including but not limited to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and equivalent bodies in the applicable jurisdiction.
• Data preservation for law enforcement — when we identify or receive reports of suspected CSAM or CSAE, we preserve all relevant account data and evidence for law enforcement as required by applicable law.

Age requirements

Dit is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age of digital consent in the user's jurisdiction). We do not knowingly allow minors below this age to create accounts. If we become aware that a user is below the minimum age, the account will be immediately terminated and all associated data permanently deleted.

Compliance with child safety laws

Dit complies with all applicable child safety laws and regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions regarding minors, and the UK Age Appropriate Design Code. We continuously monitor regulatory developments and update our practices accordingly.

03 · Prohibited content & behaviour

Although Dit does not transmit text messages, images, or media between users, the following are strictly prohibited in any user-controlled element of the platform (usernames, display names, bios, profile pictures) and in any use of the signal system:

04 · How to report violations

Dit provides an in-app reporting mechanism that allows any user to report violations directly without leaving the application. We encourage all users to report any behaviour or content that violates these standards.

How to report within the app

Reporting by email

If you are unable to use the in-app reporting mechanism, you can also report violations by emailing tricabit@gmail.com with a description of the issue and, if possible, the username of the account in question.

Emergency situations

If you believe a child is in immediate danger, please contact your local law enforcement immediately. In the United States, you can also report to the NCMEC CyberTipline. Do not rely solely on our platform's reporting mechanism in emergency situations.

05 · Moderation & enforcement

Review process

Our moderation team reviews all user reports. We aim to review and act on reports within 24 hours for standard violations and immediately for any reports involving child safety or imminent threats.

Actions we take

The Dit moderation team reserves the sole and absolute right to take any of the following actions in response to violations, without prior notice to the offending user:

• Content removal — immediate removal of any profile content (username, bio, profile picture) that violates these standards.
• Account suspension — temporary suspension of the account pending investigation.
• Permanent ban — permanent and irreversible termination of the account and deletion of all associated data. The user is prohibited from creating new accounts.
• Reporting to authorities — for violations involving CSAM, CSAE, credible threats of violence, or other criminal activity, we report to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and cooperate fully with any investigation.

Enforcement principles

• Proportionality — enforcement actions are proportional to the severity of the violation. Minor first-time offences may result in a warning; serious or repeated violations result in immediate permanent ban.
• Consistency — the same standards apply to all users equally, regardless of account age, activity level, or any other factor.
• Transparency — when possible, affected users are informed of the specific rule they violated. However, we are not obligated to disclose investigation details.
• Decisiveness — the moderation team's decisions are final. We err on the side of safety, particularly in matters involving minors.
