-As Snapchat continues to grow, we aim to foster a platform that empowers people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together -- all in a safe and secure environment. To do so, we continually improve our safety and privacy practices — from our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, to tools for preventing, detecting and enforcing against harmful content, to initiatives that help educate and empower our community. 
+As Snapchat grows, our aim is to continue to empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together — all in a safe and secure environment. To do so, we continually improve our safety and privacy practices — including our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines; tools for preventing, detecting and enforcing against harmful content; and initiatives that help educate and empower our community. 

 To provide insight into these efforts and visibility into the nature and volume of content reported on our platform, we publish transparency reports twice a year. We are committed to continuing to make these reports more comprehensive and informative to the many stakeholders who care deeply about online safety and transparency. 

-This report covers the first half of 2021 (January 1 - June 30). As with our previous reports, it shares data about the total number of policy violations globally during this period; the number of content and account-level reports we received and enforced against across specific categories of violations; how we responded to requests from law enforcement and governments; and our enforcement actions broken down by country. It also captures recent additions to this report including the Violative View Rate of Snapchat content, potential trademark violations, and incidences of false information on the platform. 
+This report covers the second half of 2021 (July 1 - December 31). As with our previous reports, it shares data about the global number of in-app content and account-level reports we received and enforced against across specific categories of violations; how we responded to requests from law enforcement and governments; and our enforcement actions broken down by country. It also captures recent additions to this report, including the Violative View Rate of Snapchat content, potential trademark violations, and incidences of false information on the platform.

-As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both our safety enforcement and our transparency reports themselves, for the first time this report shares our median turnaround time to action user reports in minutes instead of hours, to provide more granular detail on our operational practices and efficacy. 
+As part of our ongoing focus on improving our transparency reports, we are introducing several new elements to this report. For this installment and going forward, we are breaking out drugs, weapons and regulated goods into their own categories, which will provide additional detail about their prevalence and our enforcement efforts.

-We have continued to expand our partnerships with industry experts as well as our in-app features to help educate Snapchatters about online risks and how to use in-app reporting to alert our Trust and Safety teams to any type of concern or policy violation.
-
-
-In addition, we continued to add partners to our trusted flagger program, which provides vetted safety experts with a confidential channel to report emergency escalations. We work closely with these partners to provide safety education, wellness resources, and other reporting guidance so they can help support the Snapchat community. 
+For the first time, we have also created a new suicide and self-harm reporting category to provide insight into total content and account reports we receive and take action on. As part of our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of our community, our Trust and Safety teams share in-app resources with Snapchatters in need, and we're also sharing more detail about that work here. 

 For more information about our policies for combating online harms, and plans to continue evolving our reporting practices, please read our recent Safety & Impact blog about this transparency report.

 To find additional resources for safety and privacy on Snapchat, see our About Transparency Reporting tab at the bottom of the page.

 Overview of Content and Account Violations

-Every day, on average more than five billion Snaps are created using our Snapchat camera. From January 1 - June 30, 2021, we enforced against 6,629,165 pieces of content globally that violated our policies.
+From July 1 - December 31, 2021, we enforced against 6,257,122 pieces of content globally that violated our policies. Enforcement actions include removing the offending content or terminating the account in question. 

-Enforcement actions could include removing the offending content or terminating the account in question. If an account is terminated for violating our Guidelines, the account holder is not permitted to create a new account or use Snapchat again. 
+During the reporting period, we saw a Violative View Rate (VVR) of 0.08 percent, which means that out of every 10,000 Snap and Story views on Snapchat, 8 contained content that violated our guidelines.

For example, it lets Pixy know that a face is a face or that a body is a body. But, object detection isn’t the same as facial identification.
