Illegal Content Notices & Platform Compliance

Version: 1.1 · Effective date: 12 October 2026

Anyone, with or without a ta.ke account, can tell us about content they believe is illegal, and every person whose content we restrict is told why and can challenge it. This page also gives the information required by the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and Australia's Online Safety Act 2021.

How content moderation works

  • Automated checks: when an answer is submitted, automated rules check it for exposed personal information (such as phone numbers or links) and for high-risk content. They can publish it, hold it for a person, or keep it out of WORLD; they never delete it from your private history.
  • Human review: a person reviews held answers, reports about child safety, threats and exposure, and every review request. Automated tools alone never close an account.
  • Measures we can take: keep a take out of WORLD; remove it; temporarily restrict or close an account; report to authorities where the law requires.
  • Repeat misuse: after a warning, we may suspend for a reasonable period accounts that often post manifestly illegal content, and stop handling notices from people who often send manifestly unfounded ones.

Report illegal content

In the app, use ••• → Report on the take. Without an account, or for a formal notice, write to support@take.international with the subject "Illegal content notice" and include:

  1. why you believe the content is illegal, and under which law if you know it;
  2. where it is: the date of the daily question and the exact text of the take, or a screenshot (takes have no public web address);
  3. your name and email address (not required for reports of child sexual abuse material);
  4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the information in your notice is accurate and complete.

We confirm receipt, decide in a timely, diligent and objective way, and tell you our decision and how to challenge it.

When we restrict your content or account

We tell you in the app (and by email for account measures) what we did, the facts and the rule or law it was based on, whether automated means were used, and how to challenge it. You can Request review in the app or write to support@take.international within 6 months; a person not involved in the original decision reviews it. In the EU you may also use a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under Article 21 of the DSA, and everywhere you can go to court.

EU Digital Services Act

  • Single point of contact for authorities, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services (Article 11) and for users (Article 12): support@take.international, in English or Turkish.
  • Legal representative in the EU (Article 13): will be designated before ta.ke is made available in the EU and named here.
  • Average monthly active recipients in the EU (Article 24(3)): published here every six months once ta.ke is available in the EU.

United Kingdom: Online Safety Act 2023

ta.ke is a user-to-user service. We assess and reduce the risk of illegal content, act quickly to remove illegal content we become aware of, and keep our users' freedom of expression and privacy in mind when doing so. You can complain to us at support@take.international about: content you think is illegal; content that breaks our Community Rules; our decision to remove or restrict your content or account; or our compliance with our online safety duties. We acknowledge complaints, review them and tell you the outcome. ta.ke is for adults: users confirm they are 18 or over, and we do not currently use age verification. Ofcom is the UK regulator for online safety.

Australia: Online Safety Act 2021

You can report content that may be cyber-abuse, threatening or otherwise harmful through the app or to support@take.international, and we act on reports promptly. If we do not, you can complain to the eSafety Commissioner at esafety.gov.au.
