The goal of our Community Standards has always been to create a place for sharing information. As such, we consider the newsworthiness of content posted by anyone, including news organizations and individuals users.

 

Our commitment to expression is paramount, but we recognize the internet creates new and increased opportunities for abuse. For these reasons, when we limit expression, we do it in service of one or more of the following values:

·       Authenticity: We want to make sure the content people are seeing on 伴你童行 is authentic. We believe that authenticity creates a better environment for sharing, and that’s why we don’t want people using 伴你童行 to misrepresent who they are or what they’re doing.

·       Safety: We are committed to making 伴你童行 a safe place. Expression that threatens people has the potential to intimidate, exclude or silence others and isn’t allowed on 伴你童行.

·       Privacy: We are committed to protecting personal privacy and information. Privacy gives people the freedom to be themselves, and to choose how and when to share on 伴你童行 and to connect more easily.

·       Dignity: We believe that all people are equal in dignity and rights. We expect that people will respect the dignity of others and not harass or degrade others.

 

Our Community Standards apply to everyone, and to all types of content. They’re designed to be comprehensive – for example, content that might not be considered hateful may still be removed for violating a different policy. We recognize that words mean different things or affect people differently depending on their local community, language, or background. We work hard to account for these nuances while also applying our policies consistently and fairly to people and their expression. Our enforcement of these standards relies on information available to us. In some cases, this means that we may not detect content and behavior that violates these standards, and in others, enforcement may be limited to circumstances where we have been provided with additional information and context.

 

The consequences for violating our Community Standards vary depending on the severity of the violation and the person's history on the platform. For instance, we may warn someone for a first violation, but if they continue to violate our policies, we may restrict their ability to post on 伴你童行 or disable their profile. We also may notify law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of physical harm or a direct threat to public safety.

 

Please note that the English version of the Terms reflects the most up-to-date set of the policies and should be used as the master document.

In an effort to promote a safe environment on 伴你童行, we remove content that encourages suicide or self-injury, including certain graphic imagery, real-time depictions, and fictional content that experts tell us might lead others to engage in similar behavior. Self-injury is defined as the intentional and direct injuring of the body, including self-mutilation and eating disorders. We want 伴你童行 to be a space where people can share their experiences, raise awareness about these issues, and seek support from one another, which is why we allow people to discuss suicide and self-injury.

 

We work with organizations around the world to provide assistance to people in distress. We also talk to experts in suicide and self-injury to help inform our policies and enforcement. For example, we have been advised by experts that we should not remove live videos of self-injury while there is an opportunity for loved ones and authorities to provide help or resources.

We do not allow content that sexually exploits or endangers children.

2.3    Sexual Exploitation of Adults

 

We recognize the importance of 伴你童行 as a place to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. In an effort to create space for this conversation and promote a safe environment, we allow victims to share their experiences, but remove content that depicts, threatens or promotes sexual violence, sexual assault, or sexual exploitation. We also remove content that displays, advocates for, or coordinates sexual acts with non-consenting parties to avoid facilitating non-consensual sexual acts.

 

To protect victims and survivors, we remove images that depict incidents of sexual violence and intimate images shared without the consent of the person(s) pictured.

2.4    Bullying and Harassment

 

Bullying and harassment happen in many places and come in many different forms, from making threats to releasing personally identifiable information, to sending threatening messages, and making unwanted malicious contact. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior because it prevents people from feeling safe and respected on 伴你童行.

 

We distinguish between public figures and private individuals because we want to allow discussion, which often includes critical commentary of people who are featured in the news or who have a large public audience. For public figures, we remove attacks that are severe as well as certain attacks where the public figure is directly tagged in the post or comment. For private individuals, our protection goes further: we remove content that's meant to degrade or shame, including, for example, claims about someone's sexual activity.

 

Context and intent matter, and we allow people to share and re-share posts if it is clear that something was shared in order to condemn or draw attention to bullying and harassment. In certain instances, we require self-reporting because it helps us understand that the person targeted feels bullied or harassed.

 

Do not:

Repeatedly contact someone in a manner that is:

·       Unwanted or

·       Sexually harassing or

·       Directed at a large number of individuals with no prior solicitation

2.5    Human Exploitation

 

 

In an effort to disrupt and prevent harm, we remove content that facilitates or coordinates the exploitation of humans, including human trafficking. We define human trafficking as the business of depriving someone of liberty for profit. It is the exploitation of humans in order to force them to engagein commercial sex, labor, or other activities against their will. It relies on deception, force and coercion, and degrades humans by depriving them of their freedom while economically or materially benefiting others.

 

Human trafficking is multi-faceted and global; it can affect anyone regardless of age, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, gender, or location. It takes many forms, and any given trafficking situation can involve various stages of development. By the coercive nature of this abuse, victims cannot consent.

 

While we need to be careful not to conflate human trafficking and smuggling, the two can be related and exhibit overlap. Without necessity for coercion or force, it may still result in the exploitation of vulnerable individuals who are trying to leave their country of origin, often in pursuit of a better life. Human smuggling is a crime against a state, relying on movement, and human trafficking is a crime against a person, relying on exploitation.

 

Do not post:

Content or exhibit behavior that may lead to human exploitation, which includes any of the following:

·       Sex Trafficking, covering minors and adults

·       The sale of children for illegal adoption

·       Orphanage Trafficking and Orphanage Volun-tourism

·       Forced Marriages

·       Labor Exploitation (incl. bonded labor)

·       Domestic Servitude

·       Non-regenerative Organ Trafficking

·       Forced Criminal Activity (e.g. forced begging, forced drug trafficking)

·       Recruitment of Child Soldiers

·       Recruitment of potential victims through force, fraud, coercion, enticement, deception, blackmail or other non-consensual acts.

·       Facilitation of human exploitation by coordinating, transporting, transferring, harboring or brokering of victims prior or during the exploitation.

·       Exploitation of humans by promoting, depicting, or advocating for it.

 

Content that offers or assists in smuggling of humans

3.    Objectionable Content

 

3.1    Hate Speech

 

We do not allow hate speech on 伴你童行 because it creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion and in some cases may promote real-world violence.

We define hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics — race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, and serious disease or disability. We protect against attacks on the basis of age when age is paired with another protected characteristic, and also provide certain protections for immigration status. We define attack as violent or dehumanizing speech, harmful stereotypes, statements of inferiority, or calls for exclusion or segregation. We separate attacks into three tiers of severity, as described below.

 

Sometimes people share content containing someone else’s hate speech for the purpose of raising awareness or educating others. In some cases, words or terms that might otherwise violate our standards are used self-referentially or in an empowering way. People sometimes express contempt in the context of a romantic break-up. Other times, they use gender-exclusive language to control membership in a health or positive support group, such as a breastfeeding group for women only. In all of these cases, we allow the content but expect people to clearly indicate their intent, which helps us better understand why they shared it. Where the intention is unclear, we may remove the content.

 

In addition, we believe that people are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary using their authentic identity.

 

Do not post:

Tier 1

·       Expressions about deviating from the norm, including but not limited to: freaks, abnormal

We do allow criticism of immigration policies and arguments for restricting those policies.

 

Content that describes or negatively targets people with slurs, where slurs are defined as words that are inherently offensive and used as insulting labels for the above-listed characteristics.

 

3.2    Violent and Graphic Content

 

We remove content that glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others because it may create an environment that discourages participation. We allow graphic content (with some limitations) to help people raise awareness about issues. We know that people value the ability to discuss important issues like human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. We also know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent content. For that reason, we add a warning label to especially graphic or violent content so that it is not available to people under the age of eighteen and so that people are aware of the graphic or violent nature before they click to see it.

 

Do not post:

Imagery of People

 

Videos of people or dead bodies in non-medical settings if they depict

·       Dismemberment

·       Visible internal organs; partially decomposed bodies

·       Charred or burning people unless in the context of cremation or self-immolation when that action is a form of political speech or newsworthy

·       Victims of cannibalism

·       Throat-slitting

Live streams of capital punishment of a person

 

3.3    Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity

 

We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content. Additionally, we default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content. Restrictions on the display of sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless it is posted for educational, humorous, or satirical purposes.

 

Our nudity policies have become more nuanced over time. We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause, or for educational or medical reasons. Where such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding, and photos of post-mastectomy scarring. For images depicting visible genitalia or the anus in the context of birth and after-birth moments or health-related situations we include a warning label so that people are aware that the content may be sensitive. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.

 

Do not post:

Images of

·       Real nude adults, where nudity is defined as

·       Visible genitalia except in the context of birth giving and after-birth moments or health-related situations (for example, gender confirmation surgery, examination for cancer or disease prevention/assessment)

·       Visible anus and/or fully nude close-ups of buttocks unless photoshopped on a public figure

·       Uncovered female nipples except in the context of breastfeeding, birth giving and after-birth moments, health-related situations (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest

·       Sexual activity, including

·       Sexual intercourse

·       Explicit sexual intercourse, defined as mouth or genitals entering or in contact with another person's genitals or anus, where at least one person's genitals are nude

·       Implied sexual intercourse, defined as mouth or genitals entering or in contact with another person's genitals or anus, even when the contact is not directly visible, except in cases of a sexual health context, advertisements, and recognized fictional images or with indicators of fiction

·       Implied stimulation of genitalia/anus, defined as stimulating genitalia/anus or inserting objects into genitalia/anus, even when the activity is not directly visible, except in cases of sexual health context, advertisements, and recognized fictional images or with indicators of fiction

·       Erections

3.4    Sexual Solicitation

 

We do this to avoid facilitating transactions that may involve trafficking, coercion, and non-consensual sexual acts. We also restrict sexually explicit language that may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content and it may impede the ability for people to connect with their friends and the broader community.

 

Do not post:

Attempting to coordinate adult commercial sexual services or prostitution activities, such as requesting or offering or asking for rates for escort services and paid sexual fetish or domination services.

 

Attempted coordination of or recruitment for adult sexual activities, including but not limited to:

·       Filmed sexual activities

·       Pornographic activities, strip club shows, live sex performances, erotic dances

·       Sexual, erotic, or tantric massages

 

Explicit sexual solicitation by, including but not limited to the following, offering or asking for:

 

·       Sex or sexual partners

·       Sex chat or conversations

·       Nude photos/videos/imagery

 

Content that is implicitly or indirectly offering or asking for sexual solicitation and meets both of the following criteria. If both criteria are not met, it is not deemed to be violating. For example, if content is a hand-drawn image depicting sexual activity but does not ask or offer sexual solicitation, it is not violating:

 

·       Criteria 1: Offer or Ask

·       Content implicitly or indirectly* (typically through providing a method of contact) offers or asks for:

·       Nude imagery, or

·       Sex or sexual partners, or

·       Sex chat conversations

·       Criteria 2: Suggestive Elements

·       Content makes the aforementioned offer or ask using one of the following sexually suggestive elements:

·       Contextually specific and commonly sexual emojis or emoji strings, or

·       Regional sexualized slang, or

·       Mentions or depictions of sexual activity (including hand drawn, digital, or real world art) such as: sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (sexual penetration or self-pleasuring), or

·       Imagery of real individuals with nudity covered by human parts, objects, or digital obstruction, including long shots of fully nude butts

 

An offer or ask for pornographic material (including, but not limited to, sharing of links to external pornographic websites)

 

Sexually explicit language that goes into graphic detail beyond mere reference to:

 

·       A state of sexual arousal (wetness or erection) or

·       An act of sexual intercourse (sexual penetration, self-pleasuring or exercising fetish scenarios)

 

3.5    Sexual Solicitation

 

We believe that people share and connect more freely when they do not feel targeted based on their vulnerabilities. As such, we have higher expectations for content that we call cruel and insensitive, which we define as content that targets victims of serious physical or emotional harm.

We remove explicit attempts to mock victims and mark as cruel implicit attempts, many of which take the form of memes and GIFs.

Do not post:

Content that depicts real people and laughs at or makes fun of their serious physical injury, starvation, or serious or fatal disease or disability.

 

Content that contains sadistic remarks and any visual or written depiction of real people experiencing premature death, serious physical injury, physical violence or domestic violence.

 

Imagery that depicts real animals that are visibly experiencing and being laughed at, made fun of, or contain sadistic remarks for any of the following (except staged animal vs. animal fights or animal fights in the wild):

 

·       premature death

·       serious physical injury (including mutilation)

·       physical violence from a human

 

4.    Integrity and Authenticity

 

4.1    Misrepresentation

 

Authenticity is the cornerstone of our community. We believe that people are more accountable for their statements and actions when they use their authentic identities. That's why we require people to connect on 伴你童行 using the name they go by in everyday life. Our authenticity policies are intended to create a safe environment where people can trust and hold one another accountable.

 

Do not:

 

Misuse our products by

·       Maintaining multiple accounts

·       Creating a profile assuming the persona of or speaking for another person or entity

·       Creating a Page assuming to be or speak for another person or entity for whom the user is not authorized to do so.

 

4.2    Spam

 

We work hard to limit the spread of spam because we do not want to allow content that is designed to deceive, or that attempts to mislead users to increase viewership. This content creates a negative user experience and detracts from people's ability to engage authentically in online communities. We also aim to prevent people from abusing our platform, products, or features to artificially increase viewership or distribute content en masse for commercial gain.

 

Do not:

·       Post, share, engage with content, or create accounts, groups, pages, events or other assets, either manually or automatically, at very high frequencies.

·       Attempt to or successfully sell, buy, or exchange site privileges or product features, such as accounts, admin roles, permission to post, pages, groups, likes, etc., except in the case of clearly identified branded content.

·       Require or claim that users are required to engage with content (e.g. liking, sharing) before they are able to view or interact with promised content.

·       Encourage likes, shares, follows, clicks, or the use of apps or websites under false pretenses, such as:

·       Offering false or non-existent services or functionality (e.g., “Get a ‘Dislike’ button!”)

·       Failing to direct to promised content (e.g., “Click here for a discount code at Nordstrom”; false play buttons)

·       Directing users off of 伴你童行 through the deceptive or misleading use of URLs, defined as:

·       Cloaking: Presenting different content to 伴你童行 users and 伴你童行 crawlers or tools.

·       Misleading content: Content contains a link that promises one type of content but delivers something substantially different.

·       Deceptive Pop-up websites: Websites that require an action (captcha, watch ad, click here) in order to view the expected landing page content and the domain name of the URL changes after the required action is complete.

·       Like / Share-Gating: Landing pages that require users to like, share, or otherwise engage with content before gaining access to off-伴你童行 content.

·       Deceptive Landing Page Functionality: Websites that have a misleading user interface, which results in accidental traffic being generated (pop-ups/unders, clickjacking, etc.)

·       Impersonation: The website pretends to be a reputable brand or service by using a name, domain, or content featuring typos, misspellings, or other means to impersonate well-known brands.

·       And other behaviors that are substantially similar to those listed above.

 

4.3    Cybersecurity

 

We recognize that the safety of our users extends to the security of their personal information. Attempts to gather sensitive personal information by deceptive or invasive methods are harmful to the authentic, open, and safe atmosphere that we want to foster. Therefore, we do not allow attempts to gather sensitive user information through the abuse of our platform and products.

 

Do not:

Attempt to compromise user accounts or gather sensitive information through unauthorized means, defined as:

·       Gaining access to any account or user data other than your own without explicit permission from the account owner.

·       Encouraging or deceiving users and entities to download or run files or programs that will compromise a user’s online or data security. Such files and programs will be deemed malicious software or "malware" if they harm or gain unauthorized access to a computer, device, or network.

·       Acquiring or requesting another user’s login credentials, whether explicitly or through deceptive means such as phishing (e.g. fake surveys designed to capture log-in info or links to fake login pages or impostor websites).

·       Attempting to obtain the sensitive information of others such as usernames, passwords, or other personal information, through deceptive means or the use of malicious software or websites.

·       Publicly sharing your own or others’ login information on platform or through a third party service.

·       Creating, sharing, or hosting malicious software or malicious browser extensions to compromise accounts or gain access to user data.

·       Providing online infrastructure, including Web Hosting Services, Domain Name System servers, and ad networks that enables abusive links such that a majority of those links on 伴你童行 violate the Spam or Cybersecurity sections of the Community Standards.

 

4.4    Inauthentic Behavior

 

In line with our commitment to authenticity, we don't allow people to misrepresent themselves on 伴你童行, use fake accounts, artificially boost the popularity of content, or engage in behaviors designed to enable other violations under our Community Standards. This policy is intended to create a space where people can trust the people and communities they interact with.

 

Do not:

·       Use multiple 伴你童行 accounts or share accounts between multiple people

·       Misuse 伴你童行 reporting systems to harass others

·       Conceal a Page’s purpose by misleading users about the ownership or control of that Page

·       Engage in or claim to engage in Inauthentic Behavior, which is defined as the use of 伴你童行 assets (accounts, pages, groups, or events), to mislead people or 伴你童行:

4.5    False News

 

Reducing the spread of false news on 伴你童行 is a responsibility that we take seriously. We also recognize that this is a challenging and sensitive issue. We want to help people stay informed without stifling productive public discourse. There is also a fine line between false news and satire or opinion. For these reasons, we don't remove false news from 伴你童行 but instead, significantly reduce its distribution by showing it lower in the News Feed.

 

4.6    Manipulated Media

 

Media, including image, audio, or video, can be edited in a variety of ways. In many cases, these changes are benign, like a filter effect on a photo. In other cases, the manipulation isn’t apparent and could mislead, particularly in the case of video content. We aim to remove this category of manipulated media when the criteria laid out below have been met.

 

In addition, we will continue to invest in partnerships (including with journalists, academics and independent fact-checkers) to help us reduce the distribution of false news and misinformation, as well as to better inform people about the content they encounter online.

 

For the following Community Standards, we require additional information and/or context to enforce:

Do not post:

·       Videos that have been edited or synthesized, beyond adjustments for clarity or quality, in ways that are not apparent to an average person, and would likely mislead an average person to believe:

·       A subject of the video said words that they did not say, AND

·       The video is the product of artificial intelligence or machine learning, including deep learning techniques (e.g., a technical deepfake), that merges, combines, replaces, and/or superimposes content onto a video, creating a video that appears authentic.

·       This policy does not extend to content that is parody or satire or is edited to omit words that were said or change the order of words that were said.

 

5.    Respecting Intellectual Property

 

伴你童行 takes intellectual property rights seriously and believes they are important to promoting expression, creativity, and innovation in our community.

伴你童行 VIP Subscription Terms of Use

·       Auto-renewal: By purchasing the VIP Subscription, you agree to an automatic renewal of your subscription at the end of your subscription period. Charges will be applied unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of your current subscription period. For iOS users, auto-renewal can be turned off in the Account Settings after purchase on the App Store. For Android users, auto-renewal can be turned off in the Subscription section of the Google Play Store settings.

·       Free Trial Periods: Occasionally, either directly or via third-party promotions, we may offer a trial period where users can access our premium Services without charge (“Trial Period”). The duration and specifics of the Trial Period will be outlined during the registration process and/or in related promotional content. While we determine eligibility for these trial offers at our discretion, we might adjust or discontinue the Trial Period option without prior notification, in line with applicable laws. Should payment information be shared upon registration for a Subscription that includes a Trial Period, the user will be automatically billed for the ongoing premium Service once the Trial Period concludes, and the subscription will continue to auto-renew unless terminated. To avoid charges post-Trial Period, the subscription must be terminated at least 24 hours before the Trial Period ends. If the Trial Period was availed through an external party, cancellations must be processed through them. We reserve the right to limit you to one free trial or promotion of a paid Service and to prohibit the combining of free trials or other promotional offers.

·       Cancellation: You can cancel your VIP Subscription at any time. If you cancel your subscription, it will not auto-renew, but you will retain your VIP status until the end of your current subscription period. No refunds will be provided for any unused portion of your subscription term.

·       Payment: Payments for the VIP Subscription will be charged to your Apple ID (or App Store account) for iOS users, or to your Google Play account for Android users, upon confirmation of the purchase.

·       Price Changes: We reserve the right to adjust the pricing for the VIP Subscription or any components thereof in any manner and at any time. Any price changes will take effect following appropriate notice to you.

·       VIP School List Adjustments: We reserve the right to add or remove schools from our VIP list at our sole discretion and without prior notice. While we strive to provide a diverse and comprehensive VIP school list, there may be times when changes are necessary due to various reasons, such as partnerships, agreements, or other operational considerations. By subscribing to the VIP Subscription, you acknowledge and agree that the list of VIP schools may change over time. We encourage users to regularly check the updated list within the app.

·       Modification of VIP Subscription Details: We reserve the right to modify the details, features, or benefits of the VIP Subscription at our sole discretion. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, the range of features, content access, or other subscription-specific benefits. Reasons for modification may include, but are not limited to, necessary business decisions, technical challenges, or compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

·       Termination of Subscription Plan: We reserve the right to terminate or suspend any subscription plan, including the VIP Subscription, at our sole discretion, either temporarily or permanently. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, necessary business decisions, technical challenges, or compliance with applicable laws and regulations. If we terminate your subscription plan before the end of your current billing cycle, and it's not due to a breach of these terms on your part, we will provide a prorated refund for any days remaining in your subscription that you have already paid for. Upon termination or suspension of the subscription plan, all the privileges associated with the VIP Subscription will cease immediately.

·       Limitation of Liability: We shall not be liable for any disturbances or malfunctions that might affect the delivery of VIP benefits, as long as these disturbances are not caused by our intentional breach or gross negligence.
