Personal Information

We restrict content that reveals or seeks others’ personal data, whether shared by the user or others, if it poses potential risk to user safety or privacy. In particular, we take doxxing seriously, where personal details are shared without consent to threaten, intimidate, or harass. We also remove inappropriate content involving children or incapacitated individuals. Violations result in content removal, and account suspension for repeated offenses.
