Safety is at the core of VSCO, and ensuring that our community is safe is our top priority. For that reason, we have built ways to report inappropriate content you may encounter on the VSCO platform.
Our Community Guidelines explicitly prohibit content that contains violence or threats, nudity or sexually explicit imagery, bullying and harassment, promotion of self-harm or suicide, or private information. Additionally, we have policies in place to combat other abuse types such as hateful conduct, spam or phishing, impersonation, intellectual property violations, and illegal conduct.

What should I expect after I make a report?
Our Trust & Safety team’s mission is to provide a safe space for all our creators. After you submit a report, our team will review it to determine if our guidelines have been violated. If there is a breach of policy, we may remove specific content or suspend creators temporarily or permanently.
To prevent abuse of our reporting mechanism, submitting a report does not automatically result in removal of content or the reported creator from our platform. We conduct thorough investigations to determine appropriate courses of action for each report to ensure the safety of our community.
