Question:
Does the company disclose in its modern slavery statement any actions taken in response to modern slavery incidents identified or reported on any social media platforms it owns or distributes?
Answer:
Yes - Removes content or user accounts or apps
As part of this commitment, Apple uses
image matching technology to help find and report child exploitation. Much like spam
filters in email, our systems use electronic signatures to find suspected child
exploitation. We validate each match with individual review by an Apple employee.
Accounts with child exploitation content violate our terms and conditions of service, and
any accounts we find with this material are immediately disabled. p. 4
Pursuant to Appleās App Store Review Guidelines, apps offered on the App Store must
comply with all legal requirements in any location where made available. Apps that
solicit, promote, or encourage criminal or clearly reckless behavior are rejected. In
extreme cases, such as apps that are found to facilitate human trafficking or the
exploitation of children, Apple will notify the appropriate authorities. p. 4
