  • Our commitment to expression

 

The goal of our Community Standards is to create a place for expression and give people a voice. We want people to be able to talk openly about the issues that matter to them, whether through written comments, photos, music or other artistic mediums, even if some may disagree or find them objectionable. In some cases, we allow content – which would otherwise go against our standards – if it’s newsworthy and in the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value against the risk of harm, and we look to international human rights standards to make these judgments. In other cases, we may remove content that uses ambiguous or implicit language when additional context allows us to reasonably understand that the content goes against our standards.

Our commitment to expression is paramount, but we recognise that 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:

 

  1. Authenticity

We want to make sure that the content people see is authentic. We believe that authenticity creates a better environment for sharing, and that’s why we don’t want people using weDIDit.Health to misrepresent who they are or what they’re doing.

 

  1. Safety

We’re committed to making weDIDit.Health a safe place. We remove content that could contribute to a risk of harm to the physical security of persons. Content that threatens people has the potential to intimidate, exclude or silence others and isn’t allowed here.

 

  1. Privacy

We’re committed to protecting personal privacy and information. Privacy gives people the freedom to be themselves, choose how and when to share on weDIDit.Health and connect more easily.

 

  1. 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

Our Community Standards apply to everyone all around the world, and to all types of content.

 

Each section of our Community Standards starts with a “policy rationale” that sets out the aims of the policy followed by specific policy lines that outline:

⛔ Content that’s not allowed; and

⚠️Content that requires additional information or context to enforce on, content that is allowed with a warning or content that is allowed but can only be viewed by adults




  • Violence and criminal behaviour

 

  1. Violence and incitement

 

Policy rationale

We aim to prevent potential offline harm that may be related to content on weDIDit.Health.. While we understand that people commonly express disdain or disagreement by threatening or calling for violence in non-serious ways, we remove language that incites or facilitates serious violence. We remove content and disable accounts when we believe there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety. We also try to consider the language and context in order to distinguish casual statements from content that constitutes a credible threat to public or personal safety. In determining whether a threat is credible, we may also consider additional information such as a person’s public visibility and the risks to their physical safety.

In some cases, we see aspirational or conditional threats directed at terrorists and other violent actors (e.g. “Terrorists deserve to be killed”), and we deem those non-credible, absent specific evidence to the contrary.

 

⛔ Do not post:

  • Indicates knowledge of or shares sensitive information that could expose others to harm (e.g. content that either makes note of or implies awareness of personal information that might make a threat of physical violence more credible. This includes implying knowledge of a person’s residential address, their place of employment or education, daily commute routes or current location)
  • Local context or subject matter expertise confirms that the statement in question could be threatening and/or could lead to imminent violence or physical harm.
  • The subject of the threat reports the content to us via support@weDIDit.Health

This may be the case, for example, when there is a known protest and counter-protest planned or violence broke out at a protest in the same city within the last seven days



  1. Dangerous organisations and individuals

 

Policy rationale

In an effort to prevent and disrupt real-world harm, we do not allow organisations or individuals that proclaim a violent mission or are engaged in violence to have a presence on our platform. We assess these entities based on their behaviour both online and offline – most significantly, their ties to violence. Under this policy, we designate individuals, organisations and networks of people. These designations are divided into three tiers that indicate the level of content enforcement, with Tier 1 resulting in the most extensive enforcement because we believe that these entities have the most direct ties to offline harm.

Tier 1 focuses on entities that engage in serious offline harm – including organising or advocating for violence against civilians, repeatedly dehumanising or advocating for harm against people based on protected characteristics, or engaging in systematic criminal operations. Tier 1 entities include terrorist, hate and criminal organisations. We remove praise, substantive support and representation of Tier 1 entities, as well as their leaders, founders or prominent members. Tier 1 includes hate organisations, criminal organisations, including those designated by the United States government as specially designated narcotics trafficking kingpins (SDNTKs), and terrorist organisations, including entities and individuals designated by the United States government as foreign terrorist organisations (FTOs) or specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs). We remove praise, substantive support and representation of Tier 1 entities, as well as their leaders, founders or prominent members.

In addition, we do not allow content that praises, substantively supports or represents events that weDIDit.Health designates as violating violent events – including terrorist attacks, hate events, multiple-victim violence or attempted multiple-victim violence, serial murders or hate crimes. Nor do we allow (1) praise, substantive support or representation of the perpetrator(s) of such attacks; (2) perpetrator-generated content relating to such attacks; or (3) third-party imagery depicting the moment of such attacks on visible victims. We also remove content that praises, substantively supports or represents ideologies that promote hate, such as nazism and white supremacy.

Tier 2 focuses on entities that engage in violence against state or military actors, but do not generally target civilians – what we call “violent non-state actors”. We remove all substantive support and representation of these entities, their leaders and their prominent members. We remove any praise of these groups’ violent activities.

Tier 3 focuses on entities that may repeatedly engage in violations of our Hate Speech or Dangerous Organisations Policies on or off the platform, or demonstrate strong intent to engage in offline violence in the near future, but have not necessarily engaged in violence to date or advocated for violence against others based on their protected characteristics. This includes militarised social movements, violence-inducing conspiracy networks, and individuals and groups banned for promoting hatred. Tier 3 entities may not have a presence, or coordinate on our platforms.

We recognise that users may share content that includes references to designated dangerous organisations and individuals to report on, condemn or neutrally discuss them or their activities. Our policies are designed to allow room for these types of discussions while simultaneously limiting risks of potential offline harm. We thus require people to clearly indicate their intent when creating or sharing such content. If a user’s intention is ambiguous or unclear, we default to removing content.

In line with international human rights law, our policies allow discussions about the human rights of designated individuals or members of designated dangerous entities, unless the content includes other praise, substantive support or representation of designated entities or other policy violations, such as incitement to violence.

We remove:

We remove praise, substantive support and representation of various dangerous organisations. These concepts apply to the organisations themselves, their activities and their members. These concepts do not proscribe peaceful advocacy for particular political outcomes.

Praise, defined as any of the below:

  • Speak positively about a designated entity or event;
    • E.g. “The fighters for the Islamic State are really brave!”
  • Give a designated entity or event a sense of achievement;
    • E.g. “Timothy McVeigh is a martyr.”
  • Legitimising the cause of a designated entity by making claims that their hateful, violent or criminal conduct is legally, morally or otherwise justified or acceptable;
    • E.g. “Hitler did nothing wrong.”
  • Aligning oneself ideologically with a designated entity or event.
    • E.g. “I stand with Brenton Tarrant.”

We remove praise of Tier 1 entities and designated events. We will also remove praise of violence carried out by Tier 2 entities.

Substantive support, defined as any of the below:

  • Any act which improves the financial status of a designated entity – including funnelling money towards or away from a designated entity;
    • E.g. “Donate to the KKK!”
  • Any act which provides material aid to a designated entity or event;
    • E.g. “If you want to send care packages to the Sinaloa Cartel, use this address:”
  • Putting out a call to action on behalf of a designated entity or event;
    • E.g. “Contact the Atomwaffen Division – (XXX) XXX-XXXX”
  • Recruiting on behalf of a designated entity or event;
    • E.g. “If you want to fight for the Caliphate, DM me”
  • Channelling information or resources, including official communications, on behalf of a designated entity or event
    • E.g. Directly quoting a designated entity without caption that condemns, neutrally discusses or is a part of news reporting.

We remove substantive support of Tier 1 and Tier 2 entities and designated events.

Representation, defined as any of the below:

  • Stating that you are a member of a designated entity, or are a designated entity;
    • E.g. “I am a grand dragon of the KKK.”
  • Creating a Page, profile, event, group or other weDIDit.Health entity that is or purports to be owned by a designated entity or run on their behalf, or is or purports to be a designated event.
    • E.g. A Page named “American Nazi Party”.

We remove representation of Tier 1 and 2 designated organisations, hate-banned entities and designated events.

Types and tiers of dangerous organisations

Tier 1: Terrorism, organised hate, large-scale criminal activity, attempted multiple-victim violence, multiple victim violence, serial murders and violating violent events

We do not allow individuals or organisations involved in organised crime, including those designated by the United States government as specially designated narcotics trafficking kingpins (SDNTKs); hate; or terrorism, including entities designated by the United States government as foreign terrorist organisations (FTOs) or specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs), to have a presence on the platform. We also don’t allow other people to represent these entities. We do not allow leaders or prominent members of these organisations to have a presence on the platform, symbols that represent them to be used on the platform or content that praises them or their acts. In addition, we remove any coordination of substantive support for these individuals and organisations.

We do not allow content that praises, substantively supports or represents events that weDIDit.Health designates as terrorist attacks, hate events, multiple-victim violence or attempted multiple-victim violence, serial murders, hate crimes or violating violent events. Nor do we allow (1) praise, substantive support or representation of the perpetrator(s) of such attacks; (2) perpetrator-generated content relating to such attacks; or (3) third-party imagery depicting the moment of such attacks on visible victims.

We also do not allow praise, substantive support or representation of designated hateful ideologies.

Multiple-victim violence and serial murders

  • We consider an event to be multiple-victim violence or attempted multiple-victim violence if it results in three or more casualties in one incident, defined as deaths or serious injuries. Any individual who has committed such an attack is considered to be a perpetrator or an attempted perpetrator of multiple-victim violence.
  • We consider any individual who has committed two or more murders over multiple incidents or locations a serial murderer.

Hateful ideologies

  • While our designations of organisations and individuals focus on behaviour, we also recognise that there are certain ideologies and beliefs that are inherently tied to violence and attempts to organise people around calls for violence or exclusion of others based on their protected characteristics. In these cases, we designate the ideology itself and remove content that supports this ideology from our platform. 

 

These ideologies include:

  • Nazism
  • White supremacy
  • White nationalism
  • White separatism

 

  • We remove explicit praise, substantive support and representation of these ideologies, and remove individuals and organisations that ascribe to one or more of these hateful ideologies.

Tier 2: Violent non-state actors

Organisations and individuals designated by weDIDit.Health as violent non-state actors are not allowed to have a presence on our platform, or have a presence maintained by others on their behalf. As these communities are actively engaged in violence, substantive support of these entities is similarly not allowed. We will also remove praise of violence carried out by these entities.

Violent non-state actors, defined as any non-state actor that:

  • engages in purposive and planned acts of violence primarily against a government military or other armed communities; and
  • that causes or attempts to:
    • cause death to persons taking direct part in hostilities in an armed conflict, and/or
    • deprive communities of access to vital infrastructure and natural resources, and/or bring significant damage to property, linked to death, serious injury or serious harm to civilians

Tier 3: Militarised social movements, violence-inducing conspiracy networks and hate banned entities

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

  • In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirised or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticise them.



  1. Coordinating harm and promoting crime

 

Policy rationale

In an effort to prevent and disrupt offline harm and copycat behaviour, we prohibit people from facilitating, organising, promoting or admitting to certain criminal or harmful activities targeted at people, businesses, property or animals.

  1. SAFETY

 

  1. Suicide and self-injury

 

Policy rationale

We care deeply about the safety of the people who use our platforms. While we do not allow people to intentionally or unintentionally celebrate or promote suicide or self-injury, we do allow people to discuss these topics because we want weDIDit.Health to be a space where people can share their experiences, raise awareness about these issues, and seek support from one another.

We define self-injury as the intentional and direct injuring of the body, including self-mutilation and eating disorders. We remove any content that encourages suicide or self-injury, including fictional content such as memes or illustrations and any self-injury content that is graphic, regardless of context. We also remove content that identifies and negatively targets victims or survivors of suicide or self-injury seriously, humorously or rhetorically, as well as real-time depictions of suicide or self-injury. Content about recovery of suicide or self-harm that is allowed, but may contain imagery that could be upsetting, such as a healed scar, is placed behind a sensitivity screen.

⛔ Do not post:

Policy rationale

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

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.

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.

  1. Bullying and harassment

 

Policy rationale

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

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. We define public figures as state- and national-level government officials, political candidates for those offices, people with over one million fans or followers on social media and people who receive substantial news coverage.

For private individuals, our protection goes further: We remove content that’s meant to degrade or shame, including, for example, claims about someone’s personal sexual activity. 

Context and intent matter, and we allow people to post and share 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:

  1. Human exploitation

 

Policy rationale

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 engage in commercial sex, labour 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, they can be related and exhibit overlap. The United Nations defines human smuggling as the procurement or facilitation of illegal entry into a state across international borders. 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.

In addition to content condemning or raising awareness about human trafficking or smuggling issues, we allow content asking for or sharing information about personal safety and border crossing, seeking asylum or how to leave a country.

⛔ Do not post:

 

Content that recruits people for, facilitates or exploits people through any of the following forms of human trafficking:

 

  • Sex trafficking
  • Sales of children or illegal adoption.
  • Orphanage trafficking and orphanage voluntourism.
  • Forced marriages.
  • Labour exploitation (including bonded labour).
  • Domestic servitude.
  • Non-regenerative organ trafficking, not including organ removal, donation or transplant in a non-exploitative organ donation context.
  • Forced criminal activity (e.g. forced begging, forced drug trafficking).
  • Recruitment of child soldiers.

Content that offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling

Content that asks for human smuggling services

  • We remove reporting on such a leak by state-controlled media entities from the country behind the leak.

In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirised or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticise them.


  • Objectionable content

 

  1. Hate speech

 

Policy rationale

We believe that people use their voice and connect more freely when they don’t feel attacked on the basis of who they are. That is why we don’t allow hate speech on weDIDit.Health. It creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion, and in some cases may promote offline violence.

We define hate speech as a direct attack against people – rather than concepts or institutions – on the basis of what we call protected characteristics: race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and serious disease. We define attacks as violent or dehumanising speech, harmful stereotypes, statements of inferiority, expressions of contempt, disgust or dismissal, cursing and calls for exclusion or segregation. We also prohibit the use of harmful stereotypes, which we define as dehumanising comparisons that have historically been used to attack, intimidate or exclude specific groups, and that are often linked with offline violence. We consider age a protected characteristic when referenced along with another protected characteristic. We also protect refugees, migrants, immigrants and asylum seekers from the most severe attacks, though we do allow commentary and criticism of immigration policies. Similarly, we provide some protections for characteristics such as occupation, when they’re referenced along with a protected characteristic. Sometimes, based on local nuance, we consider certain words or phrases as frequently used proxies for PC groups.

We also prohibit the usage of slurs that are used to attack people on the basis of their protected characteristics. However, we recognise that people sometimes share content that includes slurs or someone else’s hate speech to condemn it or raise awareness. In other cases, speech, including slurs, that might otherwise violate our standards can be used self-referentially or in an empowering way. Our policies are designed to allow room for these types of speech, but we require people to clearly indicate their intent. If the intention is unclear, we may remove content.

⛔ Do not post:

Tier 1

Content targeting a person or group of people (including all groups except those who are considered non-protected groups described as having carried out violent crimes or sexual offences or representing less than half of a group) on the basis of their aforementioned protected characteristic(s) or immigration status with:

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

  • Political exclusion, which means denying the right to political participation.
  • Economic exclusion, which means denying access to economic entitlements and limiting participation in the labour market.
  • Social exclusion, which means things such as denying access to spaces (physical and online) and social services, except for gender-based exclusion in health and positive support groups.

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 characteristics.

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

Do not post:

  • Content explicitly providing or offering to provide products or services that aim to change people’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
  • Content attacking concepts, institutions, ideas, practices or beliefs associated with protected characteristics, which are likely to contribute to imminent physical harm, intimidation or discrimination against the people associated with that protected characteristic. weDIDit.Health looks at a range of signs to determine whether there is a threat of harm in the content. These include, but are not limited to: content that could incite imminent violence or intimidation; whether there is a period of heightened tension such as an election or ongoing conflict; and whether there is a recent history of violence against the targeted protected group. In some cases, we may also consider whether the speaker is a public figure or occupies a position of authority.
  • Content targeting a person or group of people on the basis of their protected characteristic(s) with claims that they have or spread the novel coronavirus, are responsible for the existence of the novel coronavirus or are deliberately spreading the novel coronavirus, or mocking them for having or experiencing the novel coronavirus.

In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirised or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticise them.

  1. Violent and graphic content

 

Policy rationale

To protect users from disturbing imagery, we remove content that is particularly violent or graphic, such as videos depicting dismemberment, visible innards or charred bodies. We also remove content that contains sadistic remarks towards imagery depicting the suffering of humans and animals.

In the context of discussions about important issues such as human rights abuses, armed conflicts or acts of terrorism, we allow graphic content (with some limitations) to help people to condemn and raise awareness about these situations.

We know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent imagery. People should be aware that there may be some graphic or violent imagery which may be sensitive, before they click through. 

⛔ 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.

  • Videos and photos that show the violent death of someone when a family member requests its removal.
  • Videos of violent death of humans where the violent death is not visible in the video but the audio is fully or partially captured and the death is confirmed by either a law enforcement record, death certificate, Trusted Partner report or media report.



  1. Adult nudity and sexual activity

 

Policy rationale

We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content. In addition, 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.

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, people should be aware that the following content may be sensitive.

We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures and other art that depicts nude figures.

⛔ Do not post:

  • Imagery of real nude adults, if it depicts:
  • Visible genitalia except in the context of birth giving and after-birth moments or if there are medical or health context 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, medical or health context (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest.
  • Imagery of sexual activity, including:
  • Explicit sexual activity and stimulation
    • Explicit sexual intercourse or oral sex, 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.
    • Explicit stimulation of genitalia or anus, defined as stimulating genitalia or anus or inserting objects, including sex toys, into genitalia or anus, where the contact with the genitalia or anus is directly visible.
  • Implied sexual activity and stimulation, except in cases of medical or health context, advertisements and recognised fictional images or with indicators of fiction:
    • Implied sexual intercourse or oral sex, defined as mouth or genitals entering or in contact with another person’s genitals or anus, when the genitalia and/or the activity or contact is not directly visible.
    • Implied stimulation of genitalia or anus, defined as stimulating genitalia or anus or inserting objects, including sex toys, into or above genitalia or anus, when the genitalia and/or the activity or contact is not directly visible.
  • Other activities, except in cases of medical or health context, advertisements and recognised fictional images or with indicators of fiction, including, but not limited to:
    • Erections
    • Presence of by-products of sexual activity.
    • Sex toys placed upon or inserted into the mouth.
    • Stimulation of naked human nipples.
    • Squeezing female breasts, defined as a grabbing motion with curved fingers that shows both marks and clear shape change of the breasts. We allow squeezing in breastfeeding contexts.
  • Fetish content that involves:
    • Acts that are likely to lead to the death of a person or animal.
    • Dismemberment.
    • Cannibalism.
    • Faeces, urine, spit, snot, menstruation or vomit.

  • Extended audio of sexual activity

 

People should be aware that the following content may be sensitive:

Imagery of visible adult male and female genitalia, fully nude close-ups of buttocks or anus, or implied/other sexual activity, when shared in medical or health context which can include, for example:

  • Birth-giving and after-birth giving moments, including both natural vaginal delivery and caesarean section
  • Gender confirmation surgery
  • Genitalia self-examination for cancer or disease prevention/assessment

 

This content should only be shown to adults:

  • Real-world art that depicts implied or explicit sexual activity.
  • Imagery depicting bestiality in real-world art, provided that it is shared neutrally or in condemnation, and the people or animals depicted are not real.
  • Implied adult sexual activity in advertisements, recognised fictional images or with indicators of fiction.
  • Adult sexual activity in digital art, where:
  • The sexual activity (intercourse or other sexual activities) isn’t explicit and is not part of the above specified fetish content.
  • The content was posted in a satirical or humorous context.
  • Only body shapes or contours are visible.



  1. Sexual solicitation

 

Policy rationale

As noted in Section 8 of our Community Standards (Adult Sexual Exploitation), people can use weDIDit.Health to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We recognise the importance of and allow for this discussion. We also allow for the discussion of sex worker rights advocacy and sex work regulation. We draw the line, however, when content facilitates, encourages or coordinates sexual encounters or commercial sexual services between adults. 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 sexual 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:

Content that offers or asks for adult commercial services, such as requesting, offering or asking for rates for escort service and paid sexual fetish or domination services. (Content that recruits or offers other people for third-party commercial sex work is separately considered under the Human Exploitation Policy).

Attempted coordination of or recruitment for adult sexual activities, except when promoting an event or venue, including, but not limited to:

  • Filmed sexual activities.
  • Pornographic activities, strip club shows, live sex performances or erotic dances.
  • Sexual, erotic or tantric massages.

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

  • Offering or asking for sex or sexual partners (including partners who share fetish or sexual interests).
  • Sex chat or conversations.
  • Nude photos/videos/imagery/sexual fetish items.
  • Sexual slang terms.

We allow expressing desire for sexual activity, promoting sex education, discussing sexual practices or experiences, or offering classes or programmes that teach techniques or discuss sex.

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 that implicitly or indirectly (typically through providing a method of contact) offers or asks for sexual solicitation.

 

  • Criteria 2: Suggestive elements
  • Content that makes the aforementioned offer or ask using one of the following sexually suggestive elements:
    • Regional sexualised slang,
    • Mentions or depictions of sexual activity such as sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (e.g. sexual penetration or self-pleasuring), commonly sexual emojis
    • Including content (hand drawn, digital or real-world art) that depicts sexual activity as defined in Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy
    • Poses,
    • Audio of sexual activity or other content that violates the Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy

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 (e.g wetness or erection) or
  • An act of sexual intercourse (e.g sexual penetration, self-pleasuring or exercising fetish scenarios).
  • Except for content shared in a humorous, satirical or educational context, as a sexual weDIDit.Health or as sexual cursing.

 

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

 

In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirised or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticise them.



  • Integrity and authenticity

 

  1. Account integrity and authentic identity

 

Policy rationale

Authenticity is the cornerstone of our community. We believe that authenticity helps create a community where people are accountable to each other, and to weDIDit.Health, in meaningful ways. We want to allow for the range of diverse ways that identity is expressed across our global community, while also preventing impersonation and identity misrepresentation. 

 

In order to maintain a safe environment and empower free expression, we remove accounts that are harmful to the community, including those that compromise the security of other accounts and our services. We have built a combination of automated and manual systems to block and remove accounts that are used to persistently or egregiously abuse our Community Standards.

Because account level removal is a severe action, whenever possible, we aim to give our community a chance to learn our rules and follow our Community Standards. Penalties, including account disables, are designed to be proportionate to the severity of the violation and the risk of harm posed to the community. Continued violations, despite repeated warnings and restrictions, or violations that pose severe safety risks, will lead to an account being disabled.

We do not allow the use of our services and will restrict or disable accounts or other entities (such as pages, groups and events) if you:

  • Severely violate our Community Standards.
  • Persistently violate our Community Standards.
  • Coordinate as part of a network of accounts or other entities in order to violate or evade our Community Standards.
  • Represent dangerous individuals or organisations.
  • Create or use an account that demonstrates intent to violate our Community Standards.
  • Create or use an account by scripted or other inauthentic means.
  • Create an account, Page, group or event to evade our enforcement actions, including creating an account to bypass a restriction or after we have disabled your previous account, Page, group or event.
  • Create or use an account that deliberately misrepresents your identity in order to mislead or deceive others, or to evade enforcement or violate our other Community Standards. We consider a number of factors when assessing misleading identity misrepresentation, such as:
  • Repeated or significant changes to identity details, such as name or age
  • Misleading profile information, such as bio details and profile location
  • Using stock imagery or stolen photos
  • Other related account activity
  • Impersonate others by:
  • Using their photos with the explicit aim to deceive others.
  • Creating an account assuming to be or speak for another person or entity.
  • Creating a Page assuming to be or speak for another person or entity for whom the user is not authorised to do so.
  • Are a convicted sex offender.
  • Are prohibited from receiving our products, services or software under applicable laws.

In certain cases, such as those outlined below, we will seek further information about an account before taking actions ranging from temporarily restricting accounts to permanently disabling them.

Accounts misrepresenting their identity (weDIDit.Health and Messenger only) by:

  • Using a name that is not the authentic name you go by in everyday life
  • Using an inherently violating name containing slurs or any other violations of the Community Standards
  • Providing a false date of birth.
  • Creating a single account that represents or is used by more than one person.
  • Maintaining multiple accounts as a single user.

 

Compromised accounts.

Empty accounts with prolonged dormancy.



  1. Spam

 

Policy rationale

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, detracts from people’s ability to engage authentically in online communities and can threaten the security, stability and usability of our services. 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 or 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, engagement or product features, such as accounts, admin roles, permission to post, Pages, groups and likes, 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 pretences, 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)
  • The deceptive or misleading use of URLs, defined as:
    • Cloaking: Presenting different content to weDIDit.Health users and weDIDit.Health crawlers or tools.
    • Misleading content: Content contains a link that promises one type of content but delivers something substantially different.
    • Deceptive redirect behaviour: Websites that require an action (e.g. 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 content.
    • Deceptive landing page functionality: Websites that have a misleading user interface, which results in accidental traffic being generated (e.g. pop-ups/unders, clickjacking, etc.).
    • Typosquatting: An external website pretends to be a reputable brand or service by using a name, domain or content that features typos, misspellings or other means to impersonate well-known brands using a landing page similar to another, trusted site to mislead visitors (e.g. www.faceb00k.com, www.face_book.com).
    • And other behaviours that are substantially similar to the above.



  1. Cybersecurity

 

Policy rationale

We recognise that the safety of our users includes the security of their personal information, accounts, profiles and other weDIDit.Health entities they may manage, as well as our products and services more broadly. Attempts to gather sensitive personal information or engage in unauthorised access 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 or engage in unauthorised access through the abuse of our platform, products or services.

 

Do not:

Attempt to compromise user accounts, profiles or other weDIDit.Health entities, abuse our products or services, gather sensitive information through deceptive means or attempt to engage in unauthorised access, including:

  • Gaining access to accounts, profiles, weDIDit.Health, entities or user data other than your own through deceptive means or without explicit permission from the account, profile or entity owner.
  • Encouraging or deceiving users to download or run files or programs that will compromise a user’s online or data security, including through malicious software or websites. Such files and programs will be deemed malicious software or “malware” if they harm or gain unauthorised access to a computer, device or network.
  • Attempting to obtain, acquire or request another user’s login credentials, personal information or other sensitive data – whether explicitly or through deceptive means such as phishing (e.g. fake surveys designed to capture login info or links to fake login pages or impostor websites) or the use of malicious software or websites.
  • Publicly sharing your own or others’ login information, either on platform or through a third-party service.
  • Creating, sharing or hosting malicious software, including browser extensions and mobile applications, on or off the platform that put our users or products and services at risk.
  • 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 weDIDit.Health or Instagram violate the spam or cybersecurity sections of the Community Standards.



  1. Inauthentic behaviour

 

Policy rationale

In line with our commitment to authenticity, we do not allow people to misrepresent themselves on weDIDit.Health, use fake accounts, artificially boost the popularity of content or engage in behaviours designed to enable other violations under our Community Standards. This policy is intended to protect the security of user accounts and our services, and create a space where people can trust the people and communities they interact with.

 

Do not:

  • Use multiple weDIDit.Health accounts or share accounts between multiple people
  • Misuse the weDIDit.Health reporting processes 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 behaviour, which is defined as the use of weDIDit.Health assets (accounts, Pages, Groups or Events) to mislead people or weDIDit.Health:
  • About the identity, purpose or origin of the entity that they represent.
  • About the popularity of weDIDit.Health content or assets.
  • About the purpose of an audience or community.
  • About the source or origin of content.
  • To evade enforcement under our Community Standards.

 

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

  • We do not allow entities to engage in, or claim to engage in, coordinated inauthentic behaviour, defined as the use of multiple weDIDit.Health assets, working in concert to engage in inauthentic behaviour (as defined above), where the use of fake accounts is central to the operation.
  • We do not allow entities to engage in, or claim to engage in, foreign or government interference, which is coordinated inauthentic behaviour conducted on behalf of a foreign or government actor.
  • We do not allow governments that have instituted sustained blocks of social media to use their official departments, agencies and embassies to deny the use of force or violent events in the context of an attack against the territorial integrity of another state in violation of Article 2(4) of the UN charter.



  1. Misinformation

 

Policy rationale

Misinformation is different from other types of speech addressed in our Community Standards because there is no way to articulate a comprehensive list of what is prohibited. With graphic violence or hate speech, for instance, our policies specify the speech that we prohibit, and even persons who disagree with those policies can follow them. With misinformation, however, we cannot provide such a line. The world is changing constantly, and what is true one minute may not be true the next minute. People also have different levels of information about the world around them, and may believe something is true when it is not. A policy that simply prohibits “misinformation” would not provide useful notice to the people who use our services and would be unenforceable, as we don’t have perfect access to information.

Instead, our policies articulate different categories of misinformation and try to provide clear guidance about how we treat that speech when we see it. For each category, our approach reflects our attempt to balance our values of expression, safety, dignity, authenticity and privacy.

We remove misinformation where it is likely to directly contribute to the risk of imminent physical harm. We also remove content that is likely to directly contribute to interference with the functioning of political processes and certain highly deceptive manipulated media.

For all other misinformation, we focus on reducing its prevalence or creating an environment that fosters a productive dialogue. We know that people often use misinformation in harmless ways, such as to exaggerate a point (“This team has the worst record in the history of the sport!”) or in humour or satire (“My husband just won Husband of the Year.”) They also may share their experience through stories that contain inaccuracies. In some cases, people share deeply held personal opinions that others consider false or share information that they believe to be true but others consider incomplete or misleading.

Recognising how common such speech is, we focus on slowing the spread of hoaxes and viral misinformation, and directing users to authoritative information. 

Finally, we prohibit content and behaviour in other areas that often overlap with the spread of misinformation. For example, our Community Standards prohibit fake accounts, fraud and coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

As online and offline environments change and evolve, we will continue to evolve these policies. Pages, groups, events and profiles that repeatedly share the misinformation listed below may, in addition to having their content removed, receive decreased distribution, limitations on their ability to advertise or be removed from our platforms. Additional information on what happens when weDIDit.Health removes content can be found here.

Misinformation that we remove:

We remove the following types of misinformation:

  1. Physical harm or violence

We remove misinformation or unverifiable rumours that expert partners have determined are likely to directly contribute to a risk of imminent violence or physical harm to people. We define misinformation as content with a claim that is determined to be false by an authoritative third party. We define an unverifiable rumour as a claim whose source expert partners confirm is extremely hard or impossible to trace, for which authoritative sources are absent, where there is not enough specificity for the claim to be debunked, or where the claim is too incredulous or too irrational to be believed.

We know that sometimes misinformation that might appear benign could, in a specific context, contribute to a risk of offline harm, including threats of violence that could contribute to a heightened risk of death, serious injury or other physical harm. We work with a global network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), not-for-profit organisations, humanitarian organisations and international organisations that have expertise in these local dynamics.

  1. Harmful health misinformation

Harmful health misinformation that we remove includes the following:

  • Misinformation about vaccines. We remove misinformation primarily about vaccines when public health authorities conclude that the information is false and likely to directly contribute to imminent vaccine refusals. They include:
  • Vaccines cause autism (e.g. “Increased vaccinations are why so many children have autism these days.”)
  • Vaccines cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (e.g. “Don’t you know that vaccines cause SIDS?”
  • Vaccines cause the disease against which they are meant to protect, or cause the person receiving the vaccine to be more likely to get the disease (e.g. “Taking a vaccine actually makes you more likely to get the disease as there’s a strain of the disease inside. Beware!”)
  • Vaccines or their ingredients are deadly, toxic, poisonous, harmful or dangerous (e.g. “Sure, you can take vaccines, if you don’t mind putting poison in your body.”)
  • Natural immunity is safer than vaccine-acquired immunity (e.g. “It’s safest to just get the disease rather than the vaccine.”)
  • It is dangerous to get several vaccines in a short period of time, even if that timing is medically recommended (e.g. “Never take more than one vaccine at the same time, that is dangerous. I don’t care what your doctor tells you!”)
  • Vaccines are not effective at preventing the disease against which they purport to protect. However, for the COVID-19, flu and malaria vaccines, we do not remove claims that those vaccines are not effective in preventing someone from contracting those viruses. (e.g. Remove – “The polio vaccine doesn’t do anything to stop you from getting the disease”; Remove – “Vaccines actually don’t do anything to stop you from getting diseases”; Allow – “The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting COVID-19, that’s why you still need to socially distance and wear a mask when you’re around others.”)
  • Acquiring measles cannot cause death (requires additional information and/or context) (e.g. “Don’t worry about whether you get measles, it can’t be fatal.”)
  • Vitamin C is as effective as vaccines in preventing diseases for which vaccines exist.
  • Misinformation about health during public health emergencies. We remove misinformation during public health emergencies when public health authorities conclude that the information is false and likely to directly contribute to the risk of imminent physical harm, including by contributing to the risk of individuals getting or spreading a harmful disease or refusing an associated vaccine. We identify public health emergencies in partnership with global and local health authorities. This currently includes false claims related to COVID-19 that are verified by expert health authorities, about the existence or severity of the virus, how to cure or prevent it, how the virus is transmitted or who is immune, and false claims which discourage good health practices related to COVID-19 (such as getting tested, social distancing, wearing a face mask and getting a vaccine for COVID-19).
  • Promoting or advocating for harmful miracle cures for health issues. These include treatments where the recommended application, in a health context, is likely to directly contribute to the risk of serious injury or death, and the treatment has no legitimate health use (e.g. bleach, disinfectant, black salve, caustic soda).

III. Voter or census interference

In an effort to promote election and census integrity, we remove misinformation that is likely to directly contribute to a risk of interference with people’s ability to participate in those processes. This includes the following:

  • Misinformation about the dates, locations, times and methods for voting, voter registration or census participation.
  • Misinformation about who can vote, qualifications for voting, whether a vote will be counted, and what information or materials must be provided in order to vote.
  • Misinformation about whether a candidate is running or not.
  • Misinformation about who can participate in the census and what information or materials must be provided in order to participate.
  • Misinformation about government involvement in the census, including, where applicable, that an individual’s census information will be shared with another (non-census) government agency.
  • Content falsely claiming that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is at a voting location.
  • Explicit false claims that people will be infected by COVID-19 (or another communicable disease) if they participate in the voting process.

We have additional policies intended to cover calls for violence, the promotion of illegal participation and calls for coordinated interference in elections, which are represented in other sections of our Community Standards.

  1. Manipulated media

Media can be edited in a variety of ways. In many cases, these changes are benign, such as content being cropped or shortened for artistic reasons or music being added. In other cases, the manipulation is not apparent and could mislead, particularly in the case of video content. We remove this content because it can go viral quickly and experts advise that false beliefs regarding manipulated media often cannot be corrected through further discourse.

We remove videos under this policy if specific criteria are met: (1) the video has been edited or synthesised, 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 (2) 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.
