Violence, Harassment, Bullying, and Threats

We have zero tolerance for acts of harassment and threats of violence.

Bullying & Harassment

We don’t allow bullying or harassment sites. We believe emotional safety and wellbeing are necessary for creative expression. Universe is not a platform for the creation of sites that degrade, shame, insulte, or antagonize others. You cannot create a site with the intention to **attempt to intimidate anyone, either directly or by using your site to rally harassment of an individual or group.

Threats

Anyone on Univer.se should be able to express their opinion in a way that doesn’t threaten another person. We take threats of violence very seriously. This includes threatening behavior such as stalking or inciting others to commit violent acts.

Doxing

We take a strong stance against doxing — sharing an individual’s private information or aggregating their public information for the purpose of intimidating them through harassment.

Dangerous Organizations

Univer.se does not allow sites that depicts, glorifies, encourages, and/or supports extremist groups or their activities.

Hate speech

Univer.se is a global platform built on values of inclusion and respect. There is absolutely no place on Univer.se for sites that solicit, discriminate against, attack, promote, or incite harm or violence towards individuals or groups based on the following protected attributes: race, ethnicity, national origin or migration status, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability (physical or mental), or serious medical conditions.

Adult Content & Graphic Content

Univer.se believes in inclusivity and diversity and allows creators to share anything that empowers their sense of self. We define “Adult Content” as any audio, visual, or audiovisual creations including graphical representation, depicting explicit sexual situations, including nudity in sexual contexts.

Nudity

Univer.se allows for sites that depict Consensual Adult Content. There may be restrictions on the monetization of Adult Content on Universe sites based on the payment processor used for sales.

Non-Consensual Pornography

Univer.se has a zero tolerance policy towards distributing sexually graphic images of another person without that person’s consent (Non-Consensual Pornography).

If you’re a victim of non-consental pornography of a site made on Univer.se reach out to our Trust & Safety Team for removal. Additionally, the Badass Army is a great resource for support.

Catch a Predator Style Sites

Univer.se takes minor safety very seriously, however we do not allow sites made with the intention of luring or exposing child predators. If you have information on child predators you should report them to the NCMEC.

Offensive and graphic creations

We prohibit the glorification of sexual violence which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of creations. We also do not allow other fringe sexual fetish creations, such as incest, necrophilia, or fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex.

Self-Harm

We don’t allow any page that promotes or glorifies self-harm, such as pages that encourage self-injury, suicide, substance abuse, eating disorders, or other harmful acts.

However, we do allow sites that are intended for awareness such as self-harm survival, personal blogs, or educational materials.
