Maum strictly prohibits the following acts under its zero-tolerance policy on sexual crimes against minors or any actions that encourage such crimes:
You must not create, sell, rent, distribute, or share any kind of child sexual exploitation materials. Even expressing an intent to do so is strictly prohibited.
According to the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse, this rule applies not only to real minors but also to any images, videos, or illustrations that clearly depict minors in a sexual or exploitative manner.
Even if such content is shared privately through email or messaging apps, the recipient can report it, which may lead to serious consequences, including permanent bans and legal action.
Creating, sharing, or promoting child sexual exploitation materials
You must not possess or use any form of child sexual exploitation materials, knowing that they were created using minors.
Storing such content on any internet service or storage platform may lead to legal consequences under the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse.
Possessing or using child sexual exploitation materials knowingly
You must not assist in the creation of child sexual exploitation materials in any way, including providing information, engaging in transactions, or acting as an intermediary.
Facilitating the creation of child sexual exploitation materials
You must not provide or attempt to provide any obscene or exploitative content to minors, knowing that they will access or use it.
Providing minors with obscene or exploitative content
You must not buy, sell, or act as an intermediary for any transaction involving the sexual exploitation of minors, nor express intent to do so.
Engaging in the buying, selling, or brokering of minors for sexual purposes
You must not plan, discuss, or depict sexual crimes against minors, such as sexual assault, molestation, or child prostitution, especially for the purpose of arousing sexual desire.
Planning or depicting sexual crimes against minors
Grooming refers to building trust and emotional connections with a minor to manipulate them into engaging in sexual activities.
You must not approach minors with the intent of establishing trust and closeness for sexual exploitation or control.
Any form of sexual solicitation—such as engaging in sexual conversations, arranging meetings, or requesting explicit photos—will be considered sexual control and exploitation.
Engaging in grooming behavior towards minors

Expressing or implying that minors are objects of sexual activity, whether through public posts or comments, is grounds for disciplinary action.
This includes maliciously altering, distorting, or synthesizing images or videos of minors into explicit content, which, like previously mentioned offenses, is subject to legal consequences.
Sexual objectification of minors
You must not promote, encourage, or facilitate sexual crimes against minors in any form, including providing locations for such activities or attempting to lure or solicit minors for sexual purposes.
