Vimeo Acceptable Use Community Guidelines changes — dated 2025-09-22 (NOTED)

What changed, in plain language

Nothing changed in the actual rules. The only difference is the scrambled code inside a link for the CSAM-reporting email address — it still points to the same address (legal@vimeo.com). This is an automatic anti-spam encoding that the site rotates on its own.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

± CHANGEDReporting email link re-scrambled (same address)
The link people use to report suspected child sexual abuse material now uses a different scrambled code. Both the old and new codes decode to the very same email address, so who you contact and how you report has not changed at all.
