LiveSpace Community Standards

We believe that people feel empowered to share and connect more freely when they feel welcome, safe and understood. That is why we have a zero tolerance policy against harassment, hate speech and bullying.

• We define hate speech as any personal attack based on factors such as age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, gender identity and ability.
• We define harassment as any behavior seeking to harm, intimidate, threaten or ridicule, or otherwise cause a person to feel attacked, uncomfortable, scared, or threatened.

‍
What might be considered as harassment, hate speech or bullying:

• Stalking, over-commenting, or ignored requests to end interaction.
• Expressing threats or intent to cause someone harm physically or emotionally.
• Creating or assembling multiple accounts for the purpose of targeting an individual or group in any way.
• Falsely reporting users or their content.
• Body-shaming, pranking, or deliberately disrupting users.

While we appreciate the work that goes into creating an engaging livestream, it is possible to go too far with the content you share. Remember that some activities can be dangerous to do while streaming, and some content could be provocative to your audience or result in unintended consequences. We ask our community to be thoughtful about the content they share on the platform.

Examples of prohibited content:

• Reckless or distracted driving, or otherwise not complying with local driving laws.
• Pranks that may provoke dangerous or violent situations, or result in emotional distress.
• Satirical content that may be dangerously mistaken for the truth, such as fake home remedies or product reviews.
• Non skill-based games of chance, e.g. slots, especially involving the gambling of real cash or cryptocurrency. Recognized skill-based games such as Poker are allowed.
  

Violent or graphic content, including content that encourages others to commit acts of violence, is not allowed on LiveSpace, with the exception of ESRB-rated video games (see Prohibited Games). It is important that any content containing violent and/or graphic imagery be immediately flagged and reported to our staff.

What might be considered too violent or graphic:

• Violent fights (besides sports).
• Imagery of accidents, injury, or death, or otherwise shocking or disturbing material.
• Imagery of invasive medical procedures.
• Animal abuse in any form (besides hunting-related content).

‍
Any content suggesting the intent of violence should immediately be reported to our Trust & Safety team via the support portal or at safety@live.space.

LiveSpace prohibits certain kinds of sexual and adult content, and we ask our users to exercise judgment while on camera and aim to be respectful to viewers of all backgrounds.

Examples of content not allowed on the platform:

• Excessive alcohol or drug consumption
• Imagery or descriptions of explicit sexual acts, including pornography and fetish-focused content
• Content meant for sexual gratification, or otherwise depicting sexual behaviors, toys, fluids, or aroused states
• Any amount of exposed genitals, or fully exposed buttocks or breasts for those presenting as female
• Promotion of paid sexual encounters, both online and offline
• Exaggerated focus on in-game sexual content
• Games with an ESRB rating of Adults-Only (see Prohibited Games)

‍
Livestreams, compared to posts, are subject to additional restrictions:

• Extended camera focus on breasts, buttocks, or pelvic region, groping, or poses highlighting these elements
• Erotic role play, fetish-focused behavior, or phone/chat sex
• Erotic dances, stripping or flashing
  

‍
Possible exceptions may include:

• Certain educational or scientific purposes
• Active breastfeeding of a child
• Body art with complete concealment of nipples (for those presenting as female) with clothing, tape or artist-grade pasties
  

Misinformation can have harmful real-world consequences. What starts out as a joke can quickly become a dangerous rumor. We will take action against the propagation of false or misleading information that could lead to the potential harm of any individual, group, entity, or demographic.

Content that may not be allowed on the platform:

• The promotion of unproven medicinal remedies or health tips.
• Claims that could emotionally manipulate others or incite harmful acts.
• Conspiracy theories or false narratives of historical events.

LiveSpace strives to foster the trust and safety of our community by keeping a high standard of quality for platform content. This is why we ask our users to never attempt to scam, impersonate, or otherwise deceive anyone on the platform. We encourage users to report any questionable content to our staff for immediate review. Explicit, non-consensual impersonation of other individuals or entities through platform interaction or content use is forbidden (besides certain satirical or non-malicious instances).

What might be considered as spam, scams, or deceitful behavior:

• Misrepresenting your content from your titles, descriptions, messages, or posts in order to attract more viewers or gain popularity.
• Sharing content for the sole purpose of driving viewers offsite, such as for the promotion or advertisement of third-party goods or services.
• Promising money or other rewards through audience engagement.
• Excessive self promotion aiming to increase traffic to your own profile.
• Impersonation of any individual or entity that you are not authorized to represent, such as the use of someone's real name, username, image, brand to trick others.
  

While the use of recreational drugs or alcohol may be present on the platform, we ask our community to always adhere to local laws and regulations and practice moderation. Remember to be conscious of the influence you have on your audience, and that they may have varying comfort levels with drug and alcohol use. The platform may not be used for the purpose of selling restricted substances of any kind. Misinformation about health and medicinal practices is also taken very seriously and may be subject to removal.

Content containing legal, registered weapons may be present on the platform, subject to the adherence of all local laws and regulations. The presence of weapons may never be accompanied by the promotion of violence or harm to oneself or others. The platform may not be used for the purpose of selling weapons of any kind.

Content that is not allowed on the platform:

• DIY firearms of any kind.
  
• Excessive alcohol or drug consumption.
  
• Promotion, sale, or other distribution of illegal drugs or substances.
  

All platform users must be 13 years of age or older. While we allow the incidental presence of persons under 13 in livestreams, an adult must be present at all times during the stream, and children may never act as the sole host or persona in a livestream.

The exploitation of children for entertainment or financial gain will never be tolerated, and any suspected exploitation or endangerment of children for any reason will immediately be removed and reported to the appropriate authorities. Users must always adhere to local laws and regulations when it comes to what minors can or cannot do, such as alcohol or nicotine use.

We encourage our community to report any questionable content containing children or suspected minors to our staff immediately via the support portal.

LiveSpace takes the mental health and wellbeing of our community very seriously. Sharing your own experiences with mental health can be powerful, yet we ask our community to always be conscious of the effect your words and actions could have on those currently struggling with mental health-related issues.

The following is never allowed on the platform:

• Content showing, instructing, or promoting self-harm.
• The promotion of substances to cause pain or suffering.
• The promotion of activities or challenges that could result in self-harm.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, we encourage you to call 1-800-273-8255 to reach counselors at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. You can also text 741-741 to reach a counselor through Crisis Text Line.

If you’re worried about the wellbeing of someone on LiveSpace, please reach out to our Trust & Safety team via the support portal or at safety@live.space.

Extremism and hate groups are not allowed on our platform in any form. LiveSpace will take immediate action against any user seen to be supporting known terrorist organizations or groups that spread hatred or incite violence, or are known to practice extremism.
‍
Content that is not allowed on the platform:

• Promoting harmful or controversial information, such as conspiracies or half-truths, that could lead to the endangerment of any individual, entity, or group.

LiveSpace believes everyone has the right to privacy, even online. This is why we do not tolerate the unauthorized sharing of personal information on the platform. Personal information or documentation should never be shared without the explicit permission of the owner, and we encourage users to report any violations of a user’s privacy to our staff. We ask our community to be conscious of where and how they share any personal information on the platform in order to help maintain the safety of our community.

What might be considered as personal information:

• One’s full legal name, official identification documents, or employment information, even if publicly accessible.
• Other identifying information such as location, addresses, emails, and phone numbers.
• Financial or health-related information.
• Instances of user’s presence or membership on other websites, platforms, or groups.
• Unauthorized images of any individual or their personal life.
  

LiveSpace believes in the free expression of our users, and celebrates the sharing and exchange of ideas on our platform. However, in order to protect the rights of creators, musicians, and artists around the world, we ask our community to exercise judgment when sharing content that they have not secured permission for, such as certain digital media or live events.

While the re-sharing of publicly available content is generally allowed on the platform, such as for a reaction video or commentary, users should ensure that they are adding obvious, original value of their own to the content they share. Users should not claim other people’s content as their own, especially for financial gain, and should not share private copyrighted content without the explicit permission of the original owner. We encourage our community to report instances of copyright infringement, impersonation, and other unauthorized dissemination of copyrighted works to our staff.

Content that is not allowed on the platform:

• Livestreaming content you do not have the right to share (including events, concerts and sports games).
• Broadcasting recorded works such as TV shows or films without explicit permission from the rights holder, besides certain instances of Fair Use.

Any suspected instance of infringement or impersonation on the platform should be reported in the support portal.

We recognize that behavior that occurs offsite has the potential for adverse impact on our community. We refer to this as "Offsite Misconduct,” which may encompass any actions or statements made by our users on external platforms such as social media sites, forums, or other online spaces. These incidents, as they come to our attention, may result in action by our Trust & Safety team to suspend or permanently ban users from our platform in order to enforce a positive and respectful community for all our users.

Examples of harmful offsite misconduct:

• Targeted attacks on individuals or groups with the intention of harm.
• Encouraging others to violate LiveSpace's Terms of Service or Community Standards.
• Affiliation with a known hate group.
