community-guidelines
Welcome to our Live Streaming service!
Our commitment is to provide a captivating platform for users to share their content and connect with others in an authentic and positive way. We aim to maintain a fun, safe and respectful environment, and we’ve established the following Community Guidelines, which articulate the rules and expectations on our platform. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our rules, which will ensure a pleasant and enriching experience for everyone. These guidelines apply to all content, including live streams, pre-recorded videos, images, profile text, messages, and chat, covering both visual and audio content.
Nudity & Explicit Content:
Users are required to dress appropriately during live streams, and nudity or excessively revealing attire is strictly prohibited. This includes any partial or full exposure of genitals, breasts, or buttocks, as well as items like underwear, lingerie, body paint in lieu of clothing, or accessories emphasizing sexual features. Exceptions are allowed for swimwear in appropriate settings (such as a beach or a swimming pool). The prohibition extends to sexual exposure, gestures, harassment, or suggestive acts with objects. All forms of sexual content, including exposure, implications of intent, behavior, pornography, and any adult-related material, are not allowed. Unsolicited sexual advances, including sexually suggestive or explicit content or language that is directed at someone else for the purposes of harassment, is also prohibited.
Youth Safety
The live streaming service is for individuals aged 18 and older, with strict age restrictions enforced to safeguard minors. Participants under 18, as hosts, guests, or in any regular, sustained capacity, are strictly prohibited. Our zero-tolerance policy against youth exploitation encompasses child sexual abuse material (CSAM), nudity, grooming, sextortion, solicitation, pedophilia, and any form of physical or psychological harm to young people. This prohibition applies to all content types, including real, fictional, artistic, and digitally created representations of child exploitation.We also strictly prohibit other types of content that could put minors at risk of harm, including youth abuse, bullying, dangerous activities, exposure to mature themes, and the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or regulated substances.
Anyone who observes inappropriate content involving minors on our platform should report it immediately. In cases of exploitation, abuse, or an imminent threat to the safety of a minor, we will notify the proper authorities.
Commercial Sex, Abuse and Exploitation
Our platform forbids sexual exploitation and gender-based violence, covering non-consensual sexual acts, image-based sexual abuse, sextortion, physical abuse, sexual harassment, and conduct involving or supporting human trafficking.

Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery involving exploitation through fraud, force, or coercion, and it includes various illicit activities like sex and labor trafficking, forced marriage, youth exploitation, and organ trafficking.
Additionally, the service prohibits human smuggling, which involves profiting from assisting individuals in illegally entering another country.

Off-Service Conduct
We may take action against accounts based on a person’s off-service offenses involving violence, threats of violence, sexual harm, stalking, or criminal conduct if we believe they create a substantial safety risk to the community.
Community Safety and Moderation Enforcement
Our live streaming service utilizes a combination of automated tools and human moderators to uphold these guidelines and our Terms of Use. Users are encouraged to report any content violating our policies, and the moderation team will thoroughly review and take appropriate action, such as content removal, warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent termination of accounts for repeated or severe violations. Consequences may follow for reported off-service offenses, encompassing violence, threats, sexual harm, or criminal conduct, particularly if they pose a significant safety risk to the community.
We strive to make our policies as clear and comprehensive as possible, but we may restrict some types of content not explicitly specified in these Community Guidelines if we find that they represent a risk to our community. Any content can be determined as inappropriate in accordance with POFLive team’s decision, even if not stated within these guidelines. POFLive team reserves the right to modify or remove any content deemed inappropriate.
