I’m under 18 and something upset me — what do I do?

Mosaikin is a shared photo album for one event, not a social network. If a photo or message upsets you, report it from the photo, tell the host, and tell an adult you trust.

What Mosaikin is. It is a shared photo album for one event — a wedding, a party, a school fair. Someone scans a code or opens a link, adds their photos, and can write a message in the guestbook. The person who set up the event is called the host. The host keeps the album afterwards.

What Mosaikin is not. It is not a social network. There are no accounts and no profiles. Nobody can message you. There are no friend lists and no followers. There is no feed that picks things for you to look at. Nobody can find you on Mosaikin, because there is nothing to find — only the photos and messages from that one event.

What you might see. Photos and messages from the other people at the event. Every photo and message goes through a safety check before anyone can see it, and the host can take anything down. But no check is perfect, and sometimes a photo is fine for the check but not fine for you. You might see a photo of yourself that you did not want shared, or a message that is unkind, or something that scares or upsets you.

If something upsets you, do these three things. You can do them in any order, and you do not have to do all of them.

1. Report it. Every photo and every guestbook message has a Report link. Tap it, choose the reason that fits best, and tap Send report. You do not need to give your name or your email. The picture above shows what it looks like.
2. Tell the host. The host is the person who set up the event — often a grown-up you know. They can take a photo or message down straight away.
3. Tell an adult you trust. A parent, a carer, a teacher, an older relative. You do not have to deal with it on your own, and you are not in trouble for saying something.

What happens after you report. The host sees your report straight away. Reports that say a child is at risk, or that something is illegal, are looked at first — we aim for a first look within 48 hours. Everything else is looked at within 7 days. The person who put the photo or message there is never told who reported it. If you left an email address, we tell you what was decided. The rules the host follows are here: How are reports and flagged content decided?

A photo of you that you want gone. Tap Report on the photo and choose It shows me or someone else without permission, or ask the host to take it down. See I appear in a photo I did not want shared. What can I do?
