Question

Inappropriate (potentially illegal?) stock photos of minors in searches

I searched 'teen' in images for a project. There are a lot of highly questionable images that come up as a result. Does anyone screen these photos? It's very uncomfortable.

Most of the photos seem to be coming from a specific account:

I glanced at the first 2 pages and see women in swimsuits and some nudity, but none that violate Adobe's standards for nudity. If you've come across specific images that are pornographic or suggestive, Adobe will look into those, but at a glance I don't see a need to investigate the entire account which contains 10,000 images.

While you are right that there is not nudity, this photo is tagged as a teenager and it is extremely suggestive, especially considering her age.

All assets are screened by human moderators for compliance with Adobe's guidelines and standards. It's possible that something that makes you uncomfortable didn't catch the attention of the moderator. If you come across any images that you think are exploitive, you can report the asset numbers here and an Adobe rep will ask the moderation team to take another look.
