MyLOL has a photo moderation feature on the site and app according to their "Safety" page. However, a lot of members can be seen using "fake" images such as fictional characters, memes, or celebrities.

Having a photo is a requirement if you want to send a message using the desktop version. However, if you are using the app using the same account, you can send messages to anyone even if you don't have a photo.
