Be yourself (literally)

·       Beyeo is for people. If you are a mythical creature, please consult with your local mage/wizard/other magical order. For everyone else, the name you use on your profile should be the name you use in real life. Your username is up to you and your imagination.  Just nothing profane or offensive.

·       We don’t allow impersonation of any person or entity unless it is made explicitly clear that there is an artistic purpose, like comedy or parody.

·       While brands and organizations are welcome on Beyeo, user accounts must represent individual people.

·       You should only have one account. We don’t allow the creation of duplicate accounts by one individual, whether you’re representing yourself or another entity.

 

Behavior that’s not OK

 

Harassing people

Don’t harass anyone. Don’t make lewd propositions, use extreme insults, or celebrate or mock someone experiencing a tragedy. Don’t doxx people. Don’t share, threaten to share, or incentivize the sharing of other people's private information.

 

Hateful or discriminatory speech or conduct

Don’t incite hatred or discriminate against based on things like race, religion, national origin, caste, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability. This covers, but is not limited to, slurs, insults, and conspiracies. Accounts whose purpose is to promote hateful conduct are absolutely prohibited, as are hate organizations.

 

Threats of violence

Don’t threaten violence or harm against any individual or group of individuals, glorify acts of violence against others, or encouraging others to commit acts of violence.

 

Trolling or disrupting the peace

Don’t behave in a way that intentionally disrupts or ruins the experience for other people, like joining a stage and making abusive statements or loud noises. If you feel compelled to randomly make air horn sounds, please seek help.

 

Content that’s not OK

 

Child endangerment

Don’t do anything to endanger children ever. We absolutely prohibit any sexualization of or solicitation of minors, and any content that may endanger their welfare. This includes the sharing of suggestive, sexual, mature, graphic, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate content with minors. Where appropriate, we report child endangerment to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

 

Graphic violence

Don’t share media that includes excessive gore, themes of violence, harm to animals, or other forms of extreme violence that may shock or disgust people.

​

Harmful misinformation and disinformation

Don’t spread harmful health misinformation, spread misinformation for the purpose of making money, or for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes. The promotion of "synthetic" or manipulated media that is intended or likely to cause harm is also prohibited.

 

Illegal activities and the sale of regulated goods or services

Don’t share illegal content or use Beyeo to conduct any unauthorized or illegal activities, promote illegal activities, or to sell or market highly regulated goods and services.

 

Intellectual property violations

Don’t engage in any conversations or upload any content that violates any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. If content violates your trademark or intellectual property, please notify us at support@beyeo.com. We will only investigate requests that are submitted by the rights-holder or their authorized representative.

 

Sexual exploitation

Don’t share non-consensual sexual images, content that depicts or promotes sexual assault, or content that sexualizes the unique attributes of young children in any way, even if that content features actual adults pretending to be children.

 

Suicide and Self-harm

Don’t encourage or promote acts of self-harm or suicide. If you need support, it’s available. Visit https://www.findahelpline.com and enter the country you’re in to find free, confidential help. In the U.S. you can call Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741.

 

Terrorism or violent extremism

Don’t do anything that praises or promotes terrorism, violence, or proscribed terror groups. These organizations are neither welcome nor allowed on Beyeo, and the existence of accounts or use of accounts for the purpose of furthering violent or extremist ideologies or activities is prohibited.

 

Nudity

Just don’t. No shirt, no bra, no pants, no undies, no service. We don’t allow nudity or pornographic images on Beyeo.

 

Other things that just kinda suck

 

Artificial behavior

Don’t misrepresent or misuse your account in ways that could be confusing for other users. This includes adding fake "verified account" check marks (we don’t have verification right now, and probably never will need it). We prohibit the artificial amplification or suppression of information, like bot users, and any attempts to manipulate the platform to enable this.

 

False reporting

Don’t abuse our reporting systems. Mass fake incident report submissions or otherwise intentionally false reports of Community Guidelines violations are not allowed, and we suspend accounts who abuse reports.

 

Selling Beyeo features and growth

Don’t sell Beyeo features. This includes but is not limited to the following: the sale or solicitation of Beyeo access, reach, or engagement (e.g., usernames).

 

Threats to Beyeo

Don’t threaten our team. We prohibit intentional threats to the Beyeo app, the privacy or security of user accounts, or to Beyeo employees, staff, or partners. This includes, but is not limited to, unwanted attempts to contact Beyeo employees, staff, or partners via personal channels including personal email addresses, phone numbers, in person visits, or via other unauthorized or invasive methods. Attempts to do so will constitute a violation and may be escalated to law enforcement.

 

Spam or scams

Some people like canned meat, but no one likes spam content. We also prohibit the use of scam tactics to solicit money or private financial information, investment and financial schemes, or raiding funds directed towards individuals or organizations that may violate our guidelines.

 

What if my issue isn’t covered here?

If someone has not violated any of our guidelines, but you’d still rather not see or hear them around, here are some tools that might help.

​

Anyone has the right and the power to decide who they interact with on Beyeo.

·       You can uninvite a user at any time from their profile page. They won’t be notified, and you won’t receive any further notifications about their activity.

·       You can block a user by hitting the 3 vertical dots on their profile page and selecting “Block.”

 

One Final Note: Our Commitment to Human Rights

People are the heart of our Beyeo community. When we develop our policies (these Community Guidelines), we try hard to find a balance between keeping users safe and respecting fundamental human rights. Our voices are some of the most powerful, most creative tools we have and cultivating spaces that encourage freedom of expression is critical. The policy work in furtherance of this goal is highly collaborative: we work closely with outside NGOs and experts in freedom of expression, privacy, and human rights, and we reference international human rights laws and principles in our own development processes. As Beyeo continues to grow, we’ll continue to advocate for users’ rights both on and off our app and find more ways to expand our transparency reporting work.

 

Thanks for reading, and for everything you do to make Beyeo a wonderful place to hang out! 🙏🏽
