How we keep Chitchat safe

Yes. Chitchat is moderated in real time by three layers working together: automated review of activity as it happens, human moderators on the judgment calls, and face-based age checks when an account signals as underage. Over the 90 days ending July 16, 2026, that produced more than 100,000 enforcement actions, and over 89% of them were taken before any user filed a report. No platform can vet a stranger before you are talking to them, so the practical advice still holds: keep personal details out of chat, leave any conversation that feels wrong, and use the report button rather than just closing the tab.

In the 90 days ending July 16, 2026, Chitchat took more than 100,000 enforcement actions, an average of over 8,000 every week. The largest category was suspected under-18 access at 40,000+, followed by spam and malicious behavior at 30,000+, severe policy violations at 14,000+, and deceptive or scam accounts at 13,000+. Each figure counts an enforcement record rather than a unique person, because a single chat can produce more than one record.

Yes. Chitchat is an 18+ platform, and accounts that signal as being under that threshold are routed to a face-based age check with a third-party provider before they can keep using the service. The check is escalation-triggered rather than applied to every visitor, so it runs when other signals suggest it is needed. Confirmed underage use results in a ban, and blocked under-18 access was the single largest enforcement category in the last 90 days, at more than 40,000 actions.

Both, and either can act on its own. Automated systems carry most of the volume by reviewing activity while it happens, which is why more than 89% of enforcement actions came before any user report. Human moderators handle the judgment calls, including user reports that reach that stage, and they also review cases automation has already actioned, as a check on the system rather than a rubber stamp.

The report is logged immediately against both the account and that specific chat, independently of anything automation had already flagged. It is then reviewed, automatically for clear-cut categories and by a person for anything that needs judgment. Every report ends in either an enforcement action or a dismissal, never silence, and a report that turns out to be unfounded does not count against the person who was reported.

No. Chitchat is built, marketed, and moderated as an 18+ platform and is not designed for anyone under 18. Suspected under-18 access is the largest single enforcement category on the platform, with more than 40,000 blocked attempts in the last 90 days, roughly 450 a day. If you believe someone on the platform is underage, report the account directly rather than waiting for automated detection to reach it.

Visitors from more than 190 countries and territories used chitchat.gg in the 90 days ending July 15, 2026, across more than 21 million visits, averaging over 1.6 million visits a week. That reach figure comes from Chitchat's own web analytics and covers a window one day shorter than the moderation data on this page, which is noted here rather than quietly smoothed over.

Every figure on this page is counted directly from Chitchat's production systems: enforcement records come from the moderation database, and visit totals come from Chitchat's own web analytics. Nothing here is modelled, sampled, or estimated. Figures are rounded down from the exact internal count and never up, so the real numbers are equal to or higher than what is published.

Chitchat publishes this report on a 90-day cycle, and each edition covers the 90-day window ending on its publication date. This edition was first published on July 16, 2026 and last updated on July 23, 2026. Every figure states the window it covers, so a number can always be read against the period it was measured in rather than the date you happen to read it.
