Community & Reporting
Creative freedom with clear boundaries—and distinct paths for ordinary reports, copyright, and urgent safety issues.
Revised
On this page
1. Content and conduct boundaries
These rules apply to use of the service, including private generation, uploads, public pages, and social interactions. The intended audience is adults creating general-audience work, not an explicit-content service. Fiction and stylization are not exceptions to safety or third-party rights.
Do not use the service for the following:
- Sexual exploitation of children, sexualized depictions of minors, grooming, or material facilitating that abuse.
- Explicit sexual content or nonconsensual intimate imagery, including synthetic images and sexual deepfakes.
- Targeted harassment, hateful abuse, credible threats, encouragement of real-world violence, or graphic exploitative gore.
- Doxxing, invasive disclosure of personal information, deceptive impersonation, fraud, or misleading claims that a real person endorses your work.
- Copyright or other rights violations, unlawful activity, spam, evasion of restrictions, or attacks on the service.
2. AI, references, and other people's work
Use references and likenesses only when you have the necessary rights and permissions. Review generated images before sharing. Do not misrepresent AI-generated depictions as genuine evidence of real events or real people's actions.
Provider filters and human review can miss problems or reject permissible material. A successful generation is not a legal clearance. Being a remix, being noncommercial, or showing a Reader Remix watermark does not itself establish permission.
3. Report content or behavior
Signed-in users can use Report this work on a public work. Include its URL, the relevant revision or comment, and a concise explanation. Reports are not posted as public comments.
Email intake for legal and safety notices is not available on this site. The in-app reporting control is not a substitute for a legal-notice channel.
Do not attach or redistribute suspected child sexual abuse material or intimate images to explain a report. Identify the on-service location instead. For immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency services; this application is not an emergency response service.
4. Copyright notices and counter-notices
A U.S. copyright notice generally needs to identify the copyrighted work and the material/location complained of; provide your contact information and signature; affirm a good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and affirm accuracy and authority under penalty of perjury.
A counter-notice identifies the removed material and former location, includes your signature and contact details, states under penalty of perjury a good-faith belief in mistake or misidentification, and includes the required federal-court jurisdiction and service-of-process consent. We may forward notices to the other party. Misrepresentations can carry legal consequences.
Where the statutory process applies, a valid counter-notice generally leads to restoration in 10–14 business days unless the claimant reports a qualifying court action. Appropriate repeat-infringer restrictions and lawful removal remain distinct from ordinary source archiving. These pages do not claim safe-harbor status.
5. Urgent intimate-image removal
Nonconsensual intimate imagery is prohibited, including AI-generated depictions. A removal request may come from the depicted person or an authorized representative. Identify the content's location, provide contact information and a signature, and give the good-faith information necessary to establish that it was shared without consent. Do not send another copy of the imagery.
For covered platforms, the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act requires removal after a valid request within 48 hours, with reasonable efforts to find and remove known identical copies. This is a legal deadline where applicable, not an ordinary support target. The in-app report control does not provide an account-free legal intake channel; see the contact limitations on Support & Account Requests.
Where child exploitation is suspected, separate reporting and preservation obligations may apply. The operator must escalate appropriately rather than treating it as an ordinary copyright dispute or asking users to forward illegal material.
6. Enforcement and review
Available moderation actions include hiding public works or comments and restricting accounts. Depending on the issue, the operator may also use lawful manual processes, contact the user, or seek advice. There is no promise that one action automatically erases every copy, including independent forks.
If you believe an action was mistaken, retain the affected URL and relevant explanation for a review request. See Support & Account Requests for contact availability. Restoration is not guaranteed. Where lawful and appropriate, reasons should be provided. Do not evade restrictions while seeking review.
A restriction on service access does not itself revoke permissions validly granted under an existing license. Illegal material and valid legal notices still require their own response.
