18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance

1. We Are a Directory, Not a Producer

Let's be absolutely clear about the nature of this website. GWGL is a search engine and open directory service. We function exactly like a digital phone book or a search index for WhatsApp invite links.

We do not produce content. We do not hire models. We do not hold a camera, direct scenes, or pay anyone to perform. Consequently, the operators of this site are not "producers" of sexually explicit conduct as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2257. Because we do not produce the content, we are legally exempt from the record-keeping requirements regarding the age and identity of performers found in that statute.

2. User-Generated Content & Third-Party Responsibility

Every single link and group image you see on this site is User-Generated Content (UGC). These are submitted by the public or indexed from open, public sources on the internet. We act as the messenger, not the author.

When you click a "Join" button, you leave our servers immediately. You are redirected to WhatsApp, a platform owned by Meta. We have zero control over what happens inside those groups, who manages them, or what files are shared there. If a specific group contains adult material, the burden of 2257 compliance—including age verification records—falls entirely on the original content creator and the group administrator, not on this directory.

3. AI-Powered Safety & Moderation

Just because we are an open directory doesn't mean we turn a blind eye. We take safety aggressively seriously. We don't just rely on luck; we use technology.

We have deployed automated AI detection systems that scan submitted group icons and descriptions before they go live. This system is trained to flag and reject:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) - Zero Tolerance.
• Non-consensual content or "revenge porn."
• Extreme violence or illegal gore.

However, technology isn't magic. It can make mistakes. It might miss something. If a user bypasses our filters, it is a violation of our Terms, not a reflection of our intent. We do not knowingly host or facilitate illegal content.

4. Zero Tolerance for Minors

This site is strictly for adults (18+). We have a rigid, non-negotiable policy regarding minors. If we become aware—either through our AI scans or a user report—that a link leads to CSAM or depicts a minor in a sexual way, we act instantly:

• The link is permanently deleted from our database.
• The submitter's IP address and digital fingerprint are banned.
• We cooperate with law enforcement and the NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) when required by law.

5. Reporting a Violation

We rely on our community to be our eyes and ears. If you find a link on our directory that you believe violates US law, 18 U.S.C. § 2257, or depicts non-consensual content, do not assume we know about it.

Please report it immediately. We are not here to defend illegal content; we are here to remove it. Valid DMCA notices and compliance reports are processed on a priority basis.

6. Official Resources

For reference regarding the laws we adhere to and the responsibilities of content producers versus service providers:

• 47 U.S.C. § 230 (Section 230 Protection)
