A class-action lawsuit claims that Passes platform and CEO Lucy Guo permitted minors to create explicit content. The suit alleges that executives disregarded safety protocols designed to safeguard underage users. Passes, funded with $49 million, previously allowed creators aged 15-17 but has recently banned all underage users.
This case underscores significant worries regarding child safety on platforms for creators. Minors aiming to monetize their online presence may face risks of exploitation. Despite asserting rigorous content moderation, Passes reportedly did not stop the circulation of inappropriate content involving minors.
