Acceptable Use Policy

Effective date: June 29, 2026  |  Last updated: June 29, 2026  |  Version 2026-06-29

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) explains what is and isn’t allowed on WhatWeShouldSee. It supplements our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy — together, they govern your use of the Service. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent ban.

1. Prohibited Content

You may not post, upload, share, or transmit content that:

• is unlawful, harassing, threatening, hateful, defamatory, obscene, or fraudulent
• sexually exploits or endangers minors, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — CSAM is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to relevant law-enforcement authorities
• incites violence, terrorism, or other criminal activity
• contains nudity, sexual content, or explicit material outside of contexts permitted by the Service
• contains hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or other protected characteristics
• contains personally identifying information about other people without their consent (doxxing)
• impersonates another person, business, or organization
• infringes the intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights of others
• contains spam, phishing attempts, malware, or other malicious code
• solicits or facilitates illegal goods, services, or financial transactions
• contains misleading or deceptive information designed to harm users

2. Prohibited Behavior

You may not:

• harass, stalk, bully, or intimidate other users
• engage in coordinated abuse, brigading, or mass-reporting campaigns
• evade enforcement actions by creating duplicate accounts, using proxies, or other circumvention
• scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Service or other users by automated means without our prior written consent
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or networks connected to the Service
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including by overwhelming it with requests
• send unsolicited communications, advertising, or promotional material
• buy, sell, or trade accounts, content, follows, or invites
• use the Service for commercial purposes unrelated to its intended features without our consent

3. Reporting & Enforcement

3.1 How to report

• In-app: tap the “•••” menu on any post, photo, review, trip, list, comment, or profile to Report the content or Block the user.
• By email: moderation@whatweshouldsee.com

3.2 Our response

• Every report is reviewed. Reports are assessed and actioned according to severity.
• Severity-tiered action.
  • Egregious (CSAM, imminent harm, doxxing): immediate removal + account suspension + report to authorities where applicable.
  • Clear violations: content removal + warning. Repeat offenders are suspended or permanently banned.
  • Borderline: warning + content review. The author is notified and may amend.
• Repeat offenders. Accumulated confirmed violations result in escalating enforcement — warning, temporary suspension, permanent ban.
• No restoration. Removed content is not restored on appeal except in cases of clear factual error.

3.3 Blocking

If you block a user, you will no longer see their posts, photos, reviews, trips, lists, or comments in your feeds, search results, or recommendations. The blocked user is not notified that you have blocked them. You can manage your block list at Profile menu → Friends → Blocked. The Blocked tab appears once you have blocked at least one person.

4. Intellectual-Property Complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other IP rights, please see our DMCA Policy for instructions on submitting a takedown notice.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this AUP from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top and, for material changes, notify you via the Service or by email.
