I. VIOLENCE AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

  1. Imminent violence

    Our aim is to prevent potential real-world risks that may be related to content on Soctrip. We understand that people often express disdain or discord by threatening or joking and pretending to call for violence in non-serious ways. That's why we also try to consider the language, context and detail in order to distinguish casual statements from content that constitutes a credible threat to public or personal safety. In determining whether or not a threat is credible, we may also consider additional information like a person's public visibility and weaknesses of the targeted person. We remove content, disable an account, and work with law enforcement agency when we believe there is a genuine risk of material harm or direct threats to public safety.

  3. Promoting Crime and Coordinating Harm

    We prohibit users from encouraging or promoting criminal behaviors such as: violence, theft and / or fraud, harmful activities targeted at people, businesses, property or animals. We cannot help but be mindful of this because there is a risk of copycat behavior. We also do not allow users to depict criminal activity or admit to crimes they or their associates have committed. We do, however, allow people to debate or advocate for the legality of criminal or harmful activities that they may witness or experience, as well as address them in a rhetorical or satirical way, as long as they do not advocate for or coordinate harm.

  4. Regulated Goods

    To encourage safety and compliance with common legal restrictions, we prohibit individuals, manufacturers, and retailers from purchasing, selling, or trading non-medical drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, and marijuana. We also prohibit the purchase, sale, gifting, exchange, and transfer of firearms, including firearm parts or ammunition, between private individuals on Soctrip. Not all of these items are regulated everywhere; however, because of the borderless nature of our community, we try to enforce our policies as consistently as possible. Firearm stores and online retailers may promote sale items out of our services as long as those retailers comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We allow discussions about sales of firearms and firearm parts in stores or by online retailers and advocating for changes to firearm regulation. Regulated goods that are not prohibited by our Community Standards may be subject to our more stringent Commerce policies.
