Content guidelines

nowyouseeme is a platform for independent creators to build memberships and share content with their communities. We host a wide range of voices and content types — video, audio, photos, text, and live streams. These guidelines explain what is and isn't permitted on the platform.

We reserve the right to interpret and enforce these guidelines at our discretion, and to update them at any time. If you encounter content that may violate these guidelines, report it directly from the post or profile, or email support@nowyouseeme.app.

Where we determine a violation has occurred, we may remove content, restrict visibility, suspend monetisation, or terminate an account.

You are solely responsible for the content you publish on nowyouseeme. Do not publish content that violates any applicable law or regulation — including copyright, defamation, privacy, and data protection law.

Copyright: Only post content you own or have the right to share. Do not reproduce third-party text, music, images, or video without a licence or a valid fair-use justification.

Privacy: Do not publish private information about another person — including home addresses, phone numbers, financial details, or medical records — without their explicit consent.

Defamation: Do not post false statements of fact presented as true that could harm a person's reputation.

The following content is never permitted on nowyouseeme, regardless of tier, paywall status, or audience:

• Sexually explicit or adult content: nowyouseeme does not allow nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit material of any kind — including in posts, messages, profile photos, cover images, and thumbnails. This applies to all tiers and paid content. Our standard is the same as Instagram's community guidelines.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexually exploits or endangers minors. This is a zero-tolerance policy. We report all such content to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement.
• Non-consensual intimate images (NCII): sharing or threatening to share sexual images of a person without their consent.
• Credible threats of violence: content that directly threatens physical harm to a specific person or group.
• Hate speech: content that incites violence or promotes hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or medical condition.
• Terrorism and extremism: content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates terrorist acts, mass violence, or extremist organisations.
• Human trafficking: content that facilitates, recruits for, or advertises trafficking, forced labour, or modern slavery.
• Dangerous instructions: content that provides actionable instructions for creating weapons, explosives, or dangerous substances intended to cause harm.
• Fraud and impersonation: posing as another person, brand, or organisation in a way that deceives others. Do not impersonate nowyouseeme staff.

nowyouseeme is not a platform for targeted harassment. Do not use the platform to:

• Repeatedly contact or message someone who has blocked you or asked you to stop.
• Coordinate or encourage others to harass a specific person.
• Publish content designed to intimidate, humiliate, or threaten an individual.
• Dox anyone — publishing private information to enable real-world harm.

Criticism, satire, and commentary on public figures are permitted. The line is drawn at content whose primary purpose is to cause distress or harm to an individual rather than to inform or engage an audience.

Do not use nowyouseeme to:

• Send unsolicited mass messages or bulk promotional content to users who have not opted in.
• Create fake accounts, buy followers, or artificially inflate subscription counts.
• Use automation to post, like, comment, or interact in ways that deceive the platform or other users.
• Operate multiple accounts to evade a suspension or ban.

We follow safe messaging guidelines on self-harm and suicide. Content that promotes, glorifies, or provides detailed methods of self-harm or suicide is not permitted.

Content that discusses mental health, recovery, lived experience, or harm reduction in a thoughtful, non-promotional way is allowed and often valuable to communities.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact a local emergency service or a crisis helpline such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention's directory at https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/.

Subscription payments on nowyouseeme are processed through Stripe. You must comply with Stripe's Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Certain business categories are restricted by Stripe and therefore also restricted on nowyouseeme.

Do not use nowyouseeme memberships to collect payments for goods or services that are illegal in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of your subscribers.

When we identify or are notified of a potential violation, we may take one or more of the following actions depending on severity:

• Remove or hide the specific content.
• Issue a warning to the creator.
• Restrict the ability to post, go live, or receive payments.
• Suspend or permanently terminate the account.
• Report the content to law enforcement or relevant authorities where legally required.

We aim to give creators notice and an opportunity to appeal enforcement decisions, except in cases of severe or illegal content where immediate action is necessary.

To appeal an enforcement action, email support@nowyouseeme.app with your username and a description of the situation.

To report content that may violate these guidelines, use the report button on the post or profile, or email support@nowyouseeme.app.
