In the U.S., follow 18 U.S.C. \u00a72257 record-keeping where applicable, and publish your 2257 statement.<\/li><li>Prohibited content: Zero tolerance for illegal content, including CSAM, revenge porn, bestiality, or non-consensual material. Implement automated detection and a manual review queue.<\/li><li>DMCA\/notice-and-takedown: Publish a clear DMCA policy, designate a copyright agent, and enforce a repeat-infringer policy.

Prefer VPS or dedicated servers. Offshore options can reduce copyright pressure but don\u2019t legalize illegal content.<\/li><li>Object storage: Put heavy media (images\/videos) in S3-compatible storage with lifecycle policies and versioning.

Use VPS, cloud, or dedicated servers with explicit adult-friendly terms.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1770353553356\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do all CDNs allow adult content?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. Several mainstream CDNs ban adult content or UGC porn.

At minimum, an age gate is required; some countries mandate robust verification (ID or payment token). Check local laws where you target users and where you host.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1770353556773\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is 2257 compliance and do I need it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In the U.S., 18 U.S.C. \u00a72257 covers record-keeping for certain sexually explicit content. If applicable, you must keep records verifying age\/identity and publish a 2257 statement. Consult qualified counsel for scope.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1770353558836\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What\u2019s the safest way to handle user uploads?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Moderate before publishing.
