⚠️ Legal Compliance
Age Restriction Enforcement:

Only users 18 years and older should be allowed to create accounts.

Use date of birth verification and possibly government ID verification to prevent underage registration.

COPPA / GDPR-K / Local Laws:

If the app is accessible globally, it must comply with child data protection laws (like COPPA in the U.S. or GDPR-K in Europe).

🔐 Verification & Moderation
Strict Profile Verification:

Use manual moderation and identity proof uploads to verify the authenticity of profiles.

Content Filtering:

Monitor and restrict inappropriate language, images, or communication.

Set up AI or moderator flags for suspicious or grooming behavior.

🧒 Child Protection by Design
No Child-Facing UI:

Ensure the app’s design doesn’t appeal to children (e.g., no cartoonish visuals or gamified interactions).

Report & Block Features:

Users should be able to easily report suspicious activity and block others.

Reports involving underage users should be prioritized and escalated.

📚 Education & Transparency
Community Guidelines:

Clearly communicate that the platform is for adults only.

Include safety tips and guidelines prominently.

Parental Awareness (optional):

If any teen-related feature is considered (e.g., for family-arranged profiles), ensure guardian involvement is documented.

🔍 Regular Audits & Risk Assessments
Perform regular security and safety audits.

Keep logs of reports, blocked users, and suspicious activity for review.
