CSAE
CSAE refers to child sexual abuse and exploitation, including content or behavior that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers children. This includes, for example, grooming a child for sexual exploitation, sextorting a child, trafficking of a child for sex, or otherwise sexually exploiting a child.

How we address child sexual abuse material, abuse and exploitation (CSAM/CSAE)
When we detect CSAM on our platforms, we remove it, make a “CyberTipline” report to NCMEC, and, depending on the nature and severity of the violation, we may provide a warning, limit an account’s access or disable the account.
NCMEC serves as a clearinghouse and comprehensive reporting center in the United States for issues related to child exploitation. Once a report is received by NCMEC, they may forward it to law enforcement agencies around the world.
