Human Trafficking Policy Explainer

Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is an abhorrent activity that Discord takes very seriously.

It includes the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit. Men, women and children of all ages and from all backgrounds can become victims of human trafficking. Common forms of human trafficking include sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, criminal exploitation, and human organ trafficking.

Human trafficking can start, be facilitated by, and result in victims both online and offline. 

If we suspect activity related to human trafficking on Discord we may report it to law enforcement and remove the accounts and servers involved from our service.

As one of the highest-harm areas of abuse, human trafficking is also subject to our Off-Platform Behaviors Policy.

We will take statements of desire or intent to engage in illegal activities at face-value.

• Do not engage in any trafficking-related activity that constitutes or results in the exploitation of people
• If you aren’t sure if a piece of content might violate this policy, do not post it

If you see this content being shared in a direct message or in a server, report it to us immediately, block the user, and leave the DM or server

Reporting safety violations is critically important to keeping you and the broader Discord community safe. All Discord users can report policy violations in the app by following the instructions here. For more information on this policy, please reference our Community Guidelines #27.
