  • AI assessments are supplementary; final decisions on actions are made by the operations team

Article 4 (Data Access in Case of Reports)

For the purpose of investigating misuse, the operations team may access the content of a reported chat or Plaza post (text and images). Access is limited to the purpose of handling reports and will not be conducted for any other purpose.
