Users aged 16 and 17 are under stricter protection. This is not a punishment; it is a protective safety mode.
In dating/discovery features, users aged 16–17 may be shown only to each other. Users 18+ must not be shown to 16–17 in dating context, and the reverse must also be blocked.
Conversations and interactions between 16–17 and 18+ outside dating context should be carefully monitored by protective bot rules. These extra rules expire automatically when the user turns 18.
Users under 18 must not upload nude or explicit sexual images and must not see sexual/NSFW explicit media. Mildly revealing content for 16–17 may be allowed only with strict safety limits and review depending on provocativeness.
The system should be especially strict with grooming, pressure, repeated viewing, stalking patterns, requests for photos and attempts to bypass the age wall.
