Yahoo deeply respects the privacy of our users and takes matters of abuse seriously. We are committed to providing an enjoyable and harassment-free experience on our network, and as part of that commitment, nonconsensual pornography is not tolerated. If confronted with a potential abuse concern, Yahoo provides mechanisms to report matters to our attention. Upon receipt, we are committed to investigating to take appropriate action.
Note: Sometimes, our Yahoo teams may need to verify that you’re the person involved to investigate fully. As part of this, they may ask for a legible copy of your photo ID (passport, driver’s license, or state issued ID). Rest assured we have measures in place to protect your information.
