Community Standards

 

Our mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Every day, people come to Cred Build to share their reviews, see the world through the eyes of others and connect with businesses and transaction partners. We expect that the reviews and conversations that happen on Cred Build will reflect the diversity of a community of more than one billion people. 

 

We want people to feel safe when using Cred Build. For that reason, we've developed a set of Community Standards, outlined below. These policies will help you understand what type of reviews, comments and other forms of communication are allowed on Cred Build, and what type of content may be reported to us and removed. Because of the diversity of our global community, please bear in mind that something that may be disagreeable or disturbing to you may not violate our Community Standards.

 

Helping to keep you safe

 

We remove content, disable accounts and work with law enforcement when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety.

 

Direct Threats: How we help people who feel threatened by others on Cred Build.

 

We carefully review reports of threatening language to identify serious threats of harm to public and personal safety. We remove credible threats of physical harm to individuals. We also remove specific threats of theft, vandalism or other financial harm. 

 

We may consider things such as a person's physical location or public visibility in determining whether a threat is credible. We may assume credibility of any threats to people living in violent and unstable regions.

 

Self-injury: How we work to help prevent self-injury and suicide.

 

We don't allow the promotion of self-injury or suicide. We plan to work with organisations around the world to provide assistance for people in distress. We prohibit content that promotes or encourages suicide or any other type of self-injury, including self-mutilation and eating disorders. We don't consider body modification to be self-injury. We also remove any content that identifies victims or survivors of self-injury or suicide and targets them for attack, either seriously or humorously. People can, however, share information about self-injury and suicide that does not promote these things.

 

Dangerous Organisations: What types of organisations we prohibit on Cred Build.

 

We don't allow any organisations that are engaged in the following to have a presence on Cred Build: 

We also remove content that expresses support for groups that are involved in the violent or criminal behaviour mentioned above. Supporting or praising leaders of those same organisations, or condoning their violent activities, is not allowed. 

 

We welcome broad discussion and social commentary on these general subjects, but ask that people show sensitivity towards victims of violence and discrimination.

 

Bullying and Harassment: How we respond to bullying and harassment.

 

We don’t tolerate bullying or harassment. We allow you to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but remove content that appears to purposefully target private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them. This content includes, but is not limited to: 

We define private individuals as people who have neither gained news attention nor the interest of the public, by way of their actions or public profession.

 

Attacks on Public Figures: What protection public figures receive on Cred Build.

 

We permit open and critical discussion of people who are featured in the news or have a large public audience based on their profession or chosen activities. We remove credible threats to public figures, as well as hate speech directed at them – just as we do for private individuals.

 

Criminal Activity: How we handle reports of criminal activity on Cred Build.

 

We prohibit the use of Cred Build to facilitate or organise criminal activity that causes physical harm to people, businesses or animals, or financial damage to people or businesses. We work with the police when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety. 

 

We also prohibit you from celebrating any crimes that you've committed. We do, however, allow people to debate or advocate for the legality of criminal activities, as well as address them in a humorous or satirical way.

 

Sexual Violence and Exploitation: How we fight sexual violence and exploitation on Cred Build.

 

We remove content that threatens or promotes sexual violence or exploitation. This includes the sexual exploitation of minors and sexual assault. To protect victims and survivors, we also remove photographs or videos depicting incidents of sexual violence and images shared in revenge or without permission from the people in the images. 

 

Our definition of sexual exploitation includes solicitation of sexual material, any sexual content involving minors and threats to share intimate images.

 

Regulated goods

 

We prohibit any attempts by unauthorised dealers to illegally trade in regulated goods. In all trading activities, we expect you to comply with all applicable laws and carefully consider the audience for that content. We do not allow you to use Cred Build to facilitate payment for regulated goods.
