How to report to DesiSexGram

If the content is on this Site or referenced by this Site:

Please also report serious crimes directly to authorities

Some types of content require parallel reporting to specialised authorities. They have the legal power to investigate and prosecute. Reporting to us alone is not enough for these crimes.

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

Report immediately to:

• NCMEC (US-based, accepts global reports): report.cybertip.org
• Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) — UK / Global: iwf.org.uk/report
• INHOPE — Global hotline network: inhope.org
• Germany — BKA (Bundeskriminalamt): bka.de or local police (110)
• India — National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal: cybercrime.gov.in

Trafficking

• Polaris (US, with global reach): humantraffickinghotline.org — Phone: 1-888-373-7888

Our response process

When we receive an illegal content report:

1. We acknowledge receipt (usually within 24 hours)
2. We review the report. For CSAM and similar most-serious content, we act immediately — usually within hours — and preserve evidence for law enforcement
3. For other illegal content categories, we review and act within a reasonable timeframe — typically 1–3 business days
4. If the content is verified as illegal, we remove it and (where appropriate) report to authorities
5. We retain reports and any associated evidence for the period required by law to support investigations

Cooperation with law enforcement

We cooperate fully with law enforcement requests from competent authorities in Germany, the EU, and other jurisdictions where legally appropriate. We preserve evidence in response to valid preservation requests and respond to lawful production orders.

What we cannot do

We have no control over third-party platforms linked from this Site. If you see illegal content on a platform we link to, please report it to that platform and to the appropriate authority listed above. We will also act on our end by removing the link from our directory.

False reports

Filing a knowingly false report of illegal content may itself be an offence under defamation and abusive-process laws. We may decline action on reports that are evidently fraudulent. However, our default is to investigate seriously — we would rather act in error and reinstate content than leave illegal content visible while we deliberate.
