Trust Report

Real people. Really consenting. Verified before you ever watch.

Dusk exists because the adult internet made you choose between free-but-unaccountable and safe-but-behind-a-wall. We refused the trade. Below is exactly how every person on screen is verified and consenting, and how illegal or non-consensual material is kept off the platform. These controls are live in the product today. Not a roadmap.

Everyone on screen is a verified adult

Every creator and every person depicted completes government-ID and age verification before anything they appear in can be published. Viewers pass an age check to watch. There are no anonymous uploads. Every piece of content is bound to a verified creator account.

Consent is recorded, and revocable

Every person in every post has documented appearance and distribution consent, kept in an append-only ledger. The part that matters most: withdraw consent and the content comes down automatically. No email, no request queue, no waiting. Consent isn’t a checkbox at upload; it’s a live permission the person keeps control of.

A human reviews everything before it publishes

Nothing reaches viewers without a trained reviewer approving it. This isn’t a policy we can quietly relax. Moderation-before-publish is enforced by the platform’s database itself, so no setting, rush, or mistake can push unreviewed content live.

Every upload is screened for illegal content first

Before anything can go live, every image and every video is matched against known child sexual abuse material (via Microsoft PhotoDNA) and scanned for malware. A match is frozen immediately, hash-blocked so it can never be re-uploaded, and preserved. We detect, preserve, and report apparent child sexual abuse material to NCMEC as required by law.

Reporting and takedowns are fast and open

Anyone can report content without an account. Non-consensual intimate imagery is hidden the moment it’s reported and removed on a 48-hour service level. We honor DMCA takedowns, terminate repeat infringers, and block re-uploads of anything removed.

Records kept, law enforcement supported

Age and identity records are maintained per 18 U.S.C. § 2257 / 2257A and encrypted at rest, with a designated custodian. We cooperate with valid legal process and preserve material when the law requires it.

Compliance is architecture, not a promise

The publish gate, the consent ledger, and the no-anonymous-uploads rule are enforced in the database. Invariants the code cannot bypass. Trust here isn’t a marketing claim; it’s a property of how the system is built.

The bottom line. On Dusk, verification and consent are prerequisites of publishing, enforced by the system itself. If someone withdraws consent, their content is gone automatically. If content is illegal, it never publishes. That's the whole point.
