Community Guidelines

It’s important to us that the experiences and perspectives shared on PUSH help foster an inclusive community. We’ve developed these Guidelines as a way to help you understand the types of content and dialogue to avoid in order to help us achieve this. We ask that you seek to understand their spirit and intent, and work with us to uphold them.

In short, acknowledge others’ sensitivities and viewpoints, and seek to add to the conversation, rather than detract from it.

The Basics

While there are a number of factors that we evaluate to determine whether or not we remove content, there are some basic rules that everyone on PUSH should follow.

Do not post content that:

• Depicts pornography or sexual acts. This includes intercourse, masturbation, and sexual nudity. Nudity that is intentionally artistic, educational, or associated with newsworthy events may be acceptable. We also have zero tolerance for any form of child sexual exploitation.
• Promotes or depicts unnecessary violence or graphic imagery. We understand that sometimes graphic content can be newsworthy, so we may allow broadcasts that are deemed as such.
• Encourages, promotes or depicts self-harm or suicide. When we receive reports that a person is threatening suicide or self-harm, we may take a number of steps to provide them with help and support, such as reaching out to that person expressing our concern and providing resources such as contact information for our mental health partners.
• Is spammy. This includes broadcasting for the sole purpose of directing users to an external site or service or posting deliberately misleading broadcast titles.
• Has an unlawful purpose or furthers illegal activity. We ask that you agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.
• Intends to impersonate a person or brand with the intent to mislead, confuse or deceive others. Parody, commentary, or fan accounts should be labelled as such.
• Infringes on another's intellectual property. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law and are properly provided to us. If you believe that your content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement.

Do not engage in dialogue or behaviour that:

• Intends only to incite or engage in the targeted harassment of others. This includes content that promotes the abuse of other people or the disruption of another person’s broadcasting experience.
• Directly or indirectly threatens or encourages any form of physical violence against an individual or any group of people, including threatening or promoting terrorism. This includes affiliating with organisations that - whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform - use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes.
• Discloses or threatens to expose someone’s private information without their consent. This includes releasing another person’s private or confidential contact info, or their videos or images that are considered and treated as private under applicable laws.
• Endangers minors. This includes directing inappropriate comments to minors in a broadcast.
• Seeks to evade a suspension. All suspensions on PUSH apply to the account holder. Attempts to circumvent suspensions by creating additional accounts or identities will result in the permanent disabling of said accounts.

Please note that breaking the Guidelines outlined here may result in the removal of your content and/or the temporary or permanent disabling of your account.

By using PUSH, you agree to uphold our Community Guidelines and our Terms of Service.
