01Respecting recipients
Respect recipient privacy and message requests. No spam, unsolicited abusive media, scams or attempts to evade a block. Group and channel administrators must moderate within their granted permissions.
02Private conversations
Private messages are not public posts. Sharing another person’s private conversation requires permission or a justified report to Support. Notification previews follow user preferences.
03Media and account security
Do not send malware, stolen media, identity documents or sexual material involving minors. Never solicit passwords or verification codes. Message access controls do not prevent a recipient from taking a screenshot; share sensitive information cautiously.
04Groups, followers and publishing roles
Private groups use membership/invitation controls. Developer and studio channels publish updates to followers; following does not authorize posting. A channel owner can grant a publishing role through the available controls, which currently require the person to follow first. Do not add people to evade their privacy choices. A group-size limit is not a promised channel-follower limit.
05Reports and communication controls
Use the available report, block, mute and message-request controls. A read indicator is a service signal, not proof that someone understood or agreed with a message. Report only the necessary conversation context to Support. Do not publicly expose a private conversation as retaliation.
