1) Safety, Dignity, and Authenticity

A) Violence & criminal intent

Not allowed: credible threats; glorifying or coordinating violence; instructions intended to help commit crimes or cause physical harm. News/reporting or educational context may be allowed with strong context; graphic material may be age-gated or demoted.

B) Child safety (zero tolerance)

Not allowed: any sexualized content involving minors (real, synthetic, or "youth-looking"); grooming or sexual enticement; doxxing or targeted humiliation of minors. We escalate and report when required.

C) Hate & harassment

Not allowed: dehumanization, slurs, or calls to exclusion targeting protected characteristics (e.g., race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, serious disease, immigration status). Severe harassment (e.g., wishing death/rape), targeted pile-ons, and coordinated bullying are prohibited. Limited counterspeech or self-referential reclaimed terms may be allowed with context.

D) Privacy & intimate content

Not allowed: doxxing (posting non-public personal data), non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) or threats to share it (including AI deepfakes); hidden-camera content in private spaces. We remove and fast-track redress for victims.

2) Synthetic Media & AI Twin

Twinen is AI-native. With great tools come bright lines:

A) Labeling & context

If media is AI-generated or materially edited such that a reasonable person could be fooled about who/what/when/where, you must add visible disclosure (e.g., "AI-generated", plus a context tag like Parody, Dramatization, Composite, Voice clone, Face swap). We may also apply system labels.

B) Consent for likeness

• Private individuals: realistic face/voice clones require verifiable consent.
• Public figures: limited use for satire or commentary is allowed with clear labeling; sexual content, fabricated crimes, or false endorsements need explicit authorization (or are prohibited).

C) Strict prohibitions

• NCII of any person (real or synthetic).
• Any sexual or fetishized depiction of minors, including stylized or "youth-looking" AI.
• Deepfakes/voice clones used to defraud, harass, or incite harm.
• Civic or public-safety deepfakes that could mislead people about elections, emergencies, or health guidance.

D) Provenance & tamper-resistance

We embed or preserve provenance signals (e.g., content credentials/watermarks) where feasible. Removing or evading these, or teaching others to do so at scale, is a violation.

E) AI Twin safeguards

Attempts to jailbreak or bypass AI Twin safety systems are prohibited. Private DMs aren't used for external model training (see Privacy Notice). You remain responsible for how you use outputs.

3) Misinformation & Civic Integrity

• Harmful deception isn't allowed—especially fabrications that could suppress voting, incite panic, or endanger public safety.
• News, commentary, and satire are welcome; realistic synthetic content must be labeled and not presented as fact without verification.
• We may apply context cards, labels, demotion, or removal depending on harm risk.

4) Adult Nudity & Sexual Content

Twinen is not a porn platform.

• Not allowed: explicit sexual acts; porn primarily intended for arousal; sexual services; sexualized minors (zero tolerance); voyeurism; deepfake porn (NCII).
• Limited/Contextual: art/health/education non-sexual nudity may be allowed with age-gating and context.

5) Intellectual Property & Creative Integrity

Respect copyrights, trademarks, and rights of publicity.

• Don't upload full movies/music or other works you don't own rights to.
• Don't use logos/mascots/characters in themes or ads without permission.
• Report IP issues via our /dmca and /ip pages (see ToS for details). We honor takedowns and terminate repeat infringers consistent with the DMCA.

6) Fraud, Spam & Platform Manipulation

• No scams (investment/crypto "get-rich-quick," fake giveaways, phishing).
• No engagement manipulation (fake likes/follows/comments, link farms, botnets).
• No mass or repetitive spam comments or unsolicited DMs.
• No scraping that violates our robots rules, rate limits, or user privacy.

6.5) Prediction Markets Rules

Twinen Predictions uses virtual Coins with no real-world monetary value. This is an entertainment feature, NOT gambling. By using Predictions, you agree to:

Prohibited Activities

• No real-money trading: Attempting to buy, sell, trade, or exchange Coins for real money, cryptocurrency, goods, or services is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination.
• No manipulation: Using bots, scripts, multiple accounts, or collusion to manipulate predictions or artificially earn Coins.
• No exploitation: Exploiting bugs, vulnerabilities, or system errors in the prediction system. Report issues to security@twinen.com.
• No harmful predictions: Do not suggest or promote predictions on harmful, illegal, unethical, or exploitative outcomes (e.g., violence, tragedy, personal harm).
• No false advertising: Do not falsely claim Coins have monetary value or that Predictions is a gambling/money-making opportunity.

Fair Play Guidelines

• Predictions are for entertainment and social engagement only.
• Respect the outcomes—winners are determined by verifiable public data sources.
• Keep discussions civil; disagreements about outcomes should be reported, not attacked.
• Users 18+ only; age verification may be required.

7) Restricted Goods & Services

• Prohibited: illegal drugs, unlicensed weapons/explosives, stolen data, hacking tools for compromise, human trafficking/sexual exploitation.
• Limited with controls: age-restricted items (e.g., alcohol) require legal compliance, age-gating, and geo-controls.

8) Minors on Twinen (13–17)

• Safer defaults for DMs, discovery, and recommendations.
• Stronger nudity/graphic filters; heightened review of adult contact with minors.
• Reporting paths prioritized when a minor is involved.

9) Creators, Ads & Disclosures

• Clearly label paid content (Ad, Paid partnership, Gifted).
• Don't imply endorsements you don't have (especially with synthetic presenters or voice clones).
• Advertisers and creators must follow our Advertising Policy and these rules.

10) Enforcement & Transparency

We apply proportional actions based on severity, intent, reach, history, and risk of harm:

• Labels & context → interstitials/age-gates → reduced distribution → removal → feature limits → suspension → ban.
• Urgent harms (child safety, credible threats, NCII) may be actioned without prior notice.
• Our detection blends automated systems and human review.

11) Reporting, Appeals, and Redress

• Report in-product via the ••• menu on posts/profiles/DMs.
• Urgent NCII or life-safety: email ncii@twinen.com for priority handling.
• Other abuse/harassment/fraud: email abuse@twinen.com (include links, timestamps, and screenshots).
• Appeal a removal or restriction in-product or by emailing moderation@twinen.com within 30 days.

12) Developer & Bot Rules

• Automated/bot accounts must disclose automation in name/bio ("Bot," "Automated").
• Respect rate limits, safety filters, and Do-Not-Contact lists.
• If you upload or generate media via API: write provenance (content credentials/watermarks) and include the same labels users see in-app.

13) Educational Examples

• Allowed (with label): AI-generated parody of a public figure delivering a fictional pep talk, obviously humorous, marked AI-generated + Parody.
• Borderline (may be labeled/age-gated/demoted): Graphic, newsworthy footage with context and warnings.
• Removed: Voice-cloned "CEO" asking employees to buy gift cards; deepfake porn of a classmate; fake evacuation alert presented as real; sexualized "youth-looking" anime.

These Guidelines work with our Terms of Service, Privacy Notice, Synthetic Media Policy, IP/DMCA Policy, and Advertising Policy. If there's a conflict, the Terms control. For privacy and data choices (including AI data use), see the Privacy Notice.
