If we learn of shared or published content depicting nudity, graphic sex acts, or other sexually explicit material, we may remove the reported content. This also applies to content that drives traffic to commercial pornography sites or that promotes pedophilia, incest, or bestiality.

We have a zero tolerance policy towards content that exploits children. Some examples of this include:

• Child pornography: We will terminate the accounts of any user we find hosting, publishing or sharing child pornography. We will also report the content and its owner to law enforcement.
• Pedophilia: We do not allow content that encourages or promotes sexual attraction towards children. For example, we do not allow content consisting of collections of images of children in their underwear.

If we learn of shared or published hate speech content, we may remove the reported content. By hate speech, we mean content that promotes hate or violence towards other groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity. For example, this would include content saying that members of a particular race are criminals or advocating violence against followers of a particular religion.

If we learn of shared or published content that is crude or shockingly graphic, we may remove the reported content. For example, close-up images of gunshot wounds or bodily functions would both violate this policy.

If we learn of shared or published content that threatens, harasses or bullies other people, we may remove the reported content. For example, detailed death threats against another person (or a group of people) or content encouraging people to take violent action against another person would violate this policy.

Don't violate copyright laws. For example, don't share or publish someone else's copyrighted pictures. We will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement (read more about our copyright procedures).

If we learn of shared or published content containing another person's private or confidential information, we may remove the reported content. For example, someone else's credit card numbers, Social Security number, unlisted phone numbers, or driver's license number would all be considered private or confidential information under this policy. Also, please keep in mind that in most cases, information that is already available elsewhere on the Internet or in public records is not considered private or confidential under our policies.

We do not allow impersonation of others through our services in a manner that is intended to or does mislead or confuse others.

If we learn of users using this product to engage in illegal activities or to share or publish content promoting dangerous and illegal activities, we may remove the content and report the users to the appropriate authorities. For example, content encouraging people to commit date rape would violate this policy.
