Last updated: February 16, 2026
Exemption Statement
18.Network ("18.network") is not a producer of any visual depictions of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct appearing on this website.
Nature of Content
All visual content displayed on 18.Network falls into one or more of the following categories:
- Third-Party API Content: Performer thumbnails and profile images are sourced via publicly available APIs from established adult platforms (including but not limited to Chaturbate, BongaCams, and Stripchat). These platforms maintain their own 18 U.S.C. § 2257 compliance records as the original producers.
- User-Uploaded Content: Any content uploaded by registered users is subject to our content moderation policies. Users represent and warrant that all uploaded content complies with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and that all individuals depicted are at least 18 years of age.
- Non-Explicit Content: Logos, icons, illustrations, and promotional graphics that do not depict actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct and are therefore exempt from § 2257 record-keeping requirements.
Record-Keeping
As 18.Network does not produce any visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct, it is not subject to the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 or 28 C.F.R. Part 75.
The original producers of content accessible through 18.Network are responsible for maintaining compliance records as required by law. Users seeking § 2257 compliance records should contact the originating platform directly:
- Chaturbate: Multi Media LLC — records maintained per § 2257
- BongaCams: Proweb LTD — records maintained per § 2257
- Stripchat: Technius Ltd — records maintained per § 2257
Custodian of Records
Not applicable. 18.Network is exempt from the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 as it is not a primary or secondary producer of any content depicted on this site.
Zero Tolerance Policy
18.Network maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding content depicting minors. Any content suspected of depicting individuals under 18 years of age will be immediately removed, reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and reported to law enforcement authorities.
