Fortnite voice reporting is always on for players under 18

In Fortnite, voice reporting is always on if you are under 18. If you are using chat and someone breaks the rules, you can send an in-game report so Epic can review your voice chat to investigate. This describes reporting and review of an incident; it does not say Epic continuously listens to every conversation.
