Meet Community Guidelines

At Meet, our mission is to provide the best shared social experience created by our growing community where creators and communities can interact safely. To achieve this goal, we ask that all users participate in such a way that promotes a friendly, positive experience for our global community. Meet is explicitly intended to be used by individuals 18 years of age or older. To report a user under the age of 18, please email support@meet.live with the subject line, “Underage User.”

Meet also recommends parents and guardians talk to their teenagers about general internet safety when using any type of social networking service. You can use these internet safety tips to start the conversation
