Community standards

A safe place for family history

Share with care, respect relatives’ privacy, and obtain permission for their photographs and personal information. A private invitation is not permission to harass another person or upload content you do not have the right to share.

Prohibited content and conduct

Do not post threats, targeted harassment, hate or discriminatory abuse, sexual exploitation, intimate imagery shared without consent, sexual content involving minors, illegal sexual content, graphic content intended to shock, scams, spam, or instructions encouraging serious harm. Do not impersonate others, evade suspensions, exploit children’s information, or share credentials and payment details in family content.

Child safety: no sexual abuse or exploitation

Family Connections, operated by 54MediaGroup LLC, prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including grooming, sexual extortion, trafficking, sexualization of children, and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This includes illegal images, videos and computer-generated depictions, and attempts to solicit, create, store or share them. These standards apply to every account, family space, profile, story, message and upload.

Use Report content in the app and choose Child safety, or contact our designated child-safety contact at fkhosti@gmail.com. Include a report reference or content location; do not send or redistribute suspected illegal imagery. Reports go to service safety staff. We prioritize child-safety concerns, remove confirmed prohibited material, restrict offending accounts, and report confirmed CSAM to the appropriate regional or national authority as required by applicable law. Relevant records are handled and preserved only as required for safety and legal reporting. Contact local emergency services if a child is in immediate danger.

Filtering and review

Text checks reject selected threatening and exploitative phrases. These checks are not a guarantee that all objectionable content is detected. Reports and human safety review cover text, images, video, profiles and uploaded files. Safety staff can remove prohibited content and suspend abusive accounts independently of family-creator permissions or the seven-day message lock.

Report or block

Choose Report content on a profile, story, memory or message. Reports share that selected content and your report details with Family Connections safety staff, not just the family creator. The reporting workflow does not notify the reported person. You can also email fkhosti@gmail.com with the report reference. Do not email passwords, private exports or unnecessary sensitive information.

Use Block this person on a profile to hide their profile and content for you. Manage blocked people in Settings. Blocking does not remove the person from a shared family or stop them from seeing shared family content. For removal from the service, submit a safety report. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

How decisions are handled

Safety staff review reports and may remove content, suspend an account, request clarification, or close a report where no violation is found. Serious child-safety or credible-threat concerns receive priority. Contact support with your report reference if you need an update or want a decision reconsidered. Reporting must not be used to target or silence relatives through false claims.
