  "statement": "Campaign content must not promote underage, non-consensual or otherwise illegal sexual themes, simulated or real.",
  "rationale": "This is the one band of content where carriers act on a single message and escalate outside the ordinary rejection process, because the exposure of carrying it is criminal rather than commercial. It sits apart from the general adult-content prohibition because simulation does not soften it: fiction, roleplay and \"barely legal\" framing are treated identically to the real thing, which is the distinction operators of legal adult businesses most often get wrong.",

  "notes": "AT&T additionally bans how-to material about pedophilia or non-consensual contact. Content promoting the sexual exploitation of minors is a separate obligation (catalog MSG-166) that routes to human handling rather than to an automated verdict, and no rule in this registry decides it.",
