Does Fluxer scan my messages or files?

Nobody at Fluxer reads your messages except in four specific cases, and we run no generative AI or LLM over them. Automated checks look for spam, coordinated abuse, taken-over accounts, harmful links and explicit images.

Nobody at Fluxer reads your messages except in the four cases below, and we run no generative AI or LLM over your messages, files or calls. fluxer.com has automated checks that look for spam, coordinated abuse, taken-over accounts and harmful links using signals such as how often messages are sent, and a small image classifier on servers we run decides whether an image is explicit so your settings can blur it.

A person on our team handles every report, including every report of child sexual abuse material, and Fluxer doesn't scan for that material automatically.

Does Fluxer scan my messages?

To find signs of spam, coordinated abuse and taken-over accounts, automated checks look at signals such as how often messages are sent, how links are built, how old the account is, the reputation of its IP address, email domain and client details, as section 5 of our privacy policy lists. Fluxer doesn't block messages using lists of banned phrases.

People on our team write rules based on real abuse they have seen, and those rules flag likely spam and scam activity. A person on our team looks into everything the rules flag.

When an account is very likely spam, these checks can limit it, for example by pausing its messages, until a person on our team reviews it. Section 9 of our community guidelines lists these limits, and you can ask a person on our team to lift them if they were a mistake.

Nobody at Fluxer reads your messages, and we don't have anyone else read them for us. The only exceptions are when an authorized person on our team looks at the specific messages involved because someone reported them, we're investigating a specific rule break, there's a credible safety issue or we received a valid legal request.

Images are also checked for explicit content automatically on servers we run, so that your sensitive media settings can blur or block the explicit ones.

Does Fluxer scan images for child sexual abuse material?

Every report of child sexual abuse material goes to a person on our team, and Fluxer reports confirmed material to NCMEC's CyberTipline. Fluxer hasn't automatically scanned messages or files for child sexual abuse material since April 2026.

For a short time early in 2026, fluxer.com used an outside detection service, and we turned it off in April. Fluxer has never imported hash lists of known material.

Child sexual exploitation is prohibited without exception. As of October 2026, no EU law requires Fluxer to scan for this material, and our article on Chat Control explains why.

What happens when someone reports child abuse material?

When people report material that shows real, abused children, a person on our team confirms it, and then Fluxer files a report with NCMEC's CyberTipline. People on our team do all of this, and these reports always get the highest priority.

When a person on our team confirms that a link or file is harmful, they can block it, and after that nobody on fluxer.com can send or upload it. If you think a link or file was blocked by mistake, you can contact our support team and ask them to look at it again.

Are uploads scanned for viruses?

No. Fluxer doesn't scan uploaded files with antivirus software.

Why was an image blurred?

Blurring is part of your sensitive media settings and has nothing to do with the checks above. A small image classifier on Fluxer's servers decides whether an image is explicit, and depending on your settings an explicit image is blurred or limited to people 18 and over. It doesn't punish accounts or file reports, and you can change your settings at any time.
