What's prohibited

Content involving anyone under 18, non-consensual content, others' content you don't own, and anything illegal in relevant jurisdictions. Some acts and items are also restricted by policy.

Posting other people without consent is both against the rules and unsafe.

Stay compliant

Only post content you own and have rights to, keep everyone verified and 18+, and avoid restricted categories. When unsure, check the TOS.

Compliance protects your account and income.

Habits that keep your account safe

Build a few habits: only post content you own and shot yourself, keep everyone in it verified and 18+, and never feature another person without their recorded consent.

When something sits in a grey area, check the current Terms of Service before posting — a single violation can cost the account and the income attached to it, so caution is cheaper than appeal.
