COMMUNITY STANDARDS OF USE FOR INVASTOR PLATFORMS

INTRODUCTION

Every day, people come to InVastor to share their stories, see the world through the eyes of others and connect with friends and causes. The conversations that happen on InVastor reflect the diversity of a community of people communicating across countries and cultures and in dozens of languages, posting everything from text to photos and videos.

We recognise how important it is for InVastor to be a place where people feel empowered to communicate, and we take our role in keeping abuse off our service seriously. That's why we have developed a set of Community Standards that outline what is and is not allowed on InVastor. Our Standards apply around the world to all types of content. They're designed to be comprehensive – for example, content that might not be considered hate speech may still be removed for breaching our Bullying Policies.

The goal of our Community Standards is to encourage expression and create a safe environment. We base our policies on input from our community and from experts in fields such as technology and public safety. Our policies are also rooted in the following principles:

Safety: People need to feel safe in order to build community. We are committed to removing content that encourages real-world harm, including (but not limited to) physical, financial and emotional injury.

Voice: Our mission is all about embracing diverse views. We are on the side of allowing content, even when some find it objectionable, unless removing that content can prevent a specific harm. Moreover, at times we will allow content that might otherwise breach our standards if we feel that it is newsworthy, significant or important to the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value of the content against the risk of real-world harm.

Equity: Our community is global and diverse. Our policies may seem broad, but that is because we apply them consistently and fairly to a community that transcends regions, cultures and languages. As a result, our Community Standards can sometimes appear less nuanced than we would like, leading to an outcome that is at odds with their underlying purpose. For that reason, in some cases, and when we are provided with additional context, we make a decision based on the spirit, rather than the letter, of the policy.

Everyone on InVastor plays a part in keeping the platform safe and respectful. We ask people to share responsibly and to let us know when they see something that may breach our Community Standards. We make it easy for people to report potentially breaching content, including Pages, Groups, profiles, individual content and/or comments to us for review. We also give people the option to block, unfollow or hide people and posts, so that they can control their own experience on InVastor.

The consequences for breaching our Community Standards vary depending on the severity of the breach and a person's history on the platform. For instance, we may warn someone for a first breach, but if they continue to breach our policies, we may restrict their ability to post on InVastor or disable their profile. We may also notify law enforcement when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or a direct threat to public safety.

Our Community Standards, which we will continue to develop over time, serve as a guide for how to communicate on InVastor. It is in this spirit that we ask members of the InVastor community to follow these guidelines.

We aim to prevent potential real-world harm that may be related to content on InVastor. We understand that people commonly express disdain or disagreement by threatening or calling for violence in facetious and non-serious ways. That's why we try to consider the language, context and details in order to distinguish casual statements from content that constitutes a credible threat to public or personal safety. In determining whether a threat is credible, we may also consider additional information such as a targeted person's public visibility and vulnerability. We remove content, disable accounts and work with law enforcement when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety.

In an effort to prevent and disrupt real-world harm, we do not allow any organisations or individuals that are engaged in the following to have a presence on InVastor:

• Terrorist activity
• Organised hate
• Mass or serial murder
• Human trafficking
• Organised violence or criminal activity

We also remove content that expresses support or praise for groups, leaders or individuals involved in these activities.

We do not allow the following people (living or deceased) or groups to maintain a presence (for example, have an account, Page or group) on our platform: Terrorist organisations and terrorists.

A terrorist organisation is defined as:

Any non-governmental organisation that engages in premeditated acts of violence against persons or property to intimidate a civilian population, government or international organisation in order to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim.

A member of a terrorist organisation or any person who commits a terrorist act is considered a terrorist.

A terrorist act is defined as a premeditated act of violence against persons or property carried out by a non-government actor to intimidate a civilian population, government or international organisation in order to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim.

A hate organisation is defined as:

Any association of three or more people that is organised under a name, sign or symbol and that has an ideology, statements or physical actions that attack individuals based on characteristics, including race, religious affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, serious disease or disability.

Mass and serial murderers

We consider a homicide to be a mass murder if it results in four or more deaths in one incident. We consider any individual who has committed two or more murders over multiple incidents or locations to be a serial murderer.

We make these assessments based upon the information available to us and will generally apply this policy to a mass or serial murderer who meets any of the following criteria:

• They were convicted of mass or serial murder.
• They were killed by law enforcement during commission of the mass or serial murder or during subsequent flight.
• They killed themselves at the scene or in the aftermath of the mass or serial murder.
• They were identified by law enforcement with images from the crime.

Human trafficking groups and their leaders

Human trafficking groups are organisations responsible for any of the following:

• Prostitution of others, forced/bonded labour, slavery or the removal of organs
• Recruiting, transporting, transferring, detaining, providing, harbouring or receiving a minor or an adult against their will

Criminal organisations and their leaders and prominent members

A criminal organisation is defined as:

Any association of three or more people that is united under a name, colour(s), hand gesture(s) or recognised indicia, that has engaged in or threatens to engage in criminal activity, including (but not limited to)

• Homicide

• Arms trafficking
• Identity theft
• Money laundering
• Extortion or trafficking
• Assault
• Kidnapping
• Sexual exploitation

We do not allow symbols that represent any of the above organisations or individuals to be shared on our platform without context that condemns or neutrally discusses the content. We do not allow content that praises any of the above organisations or individuals or any acts committed by them. We do not allow coordination of support for any of the above organisations or individuals or any acts committed by them.

Policy rationale

We prohibit people from promoting or publicising violent crime, theft and/or fraud because we do not want to condone this activity and because there is a risk of copycat behaviour. We also do not allow people to depict criminal activity or admit to crimes that they or their associates have committed. We do, however, allow people to debate or advocate for the legality of criminal activities, as well as address them in a rhetorical or satirical way.

Do not post:

Content depicting, admitting or promoting the following criminal acts committed by you or your associates

• Acts of physical harm committed against people
• Acts of physical harm committed against animals except in cases of hunting, fishing, religious sacrifice or food preparation/processing
• Poaching or selling endangered species or their parts
• Staged animal vs animal fights
• Theft
• Vandalism or property damage
• Fraud
• Trafficking
• Sexual violence or sexual exploitation, including sexual assault

In an effort to prevent and disrupt real-world harm, we prohibit people from facilitating or coordinating future criminal activity that is intended or likely to cause harm to people, businesses or animals. People can draw attention to harmful activity that they may witness or experience as long as they do not advocate for or coordinate harm.

Regulated goods

To encourage safety and compliance with common legal restrictions, we prohibit attempts by individuals, manufacturers and retailers to purchase, sell or trade non-medical drugs, pharmaceutical drugs and marijuana. We also prohibit the purchase, sale, gifting, exchange and transfer of firearms, including firearm parts or ammunition, between private individuals on InVastor. Some of these items are not regulated everywhere; however, because of the borderless nature of our community, we try to enforce our policies as consistently as possible. Firearm shops and online retailers may promote items available for sale off our services as long as those retailers comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We allow discussions about sales of firearms and firearm parts in shops or by online retailers and advocating for changes to firearm regulation. Regulated goods that are not prohibited by our Community Standards may be subject to our more stringent Policies.

Do not post

Content about non-medical drugs (other than alcohol or tobacco) that:

• Co-ordinates or encourages others to sell non-medical drugs
• Depicts, admits to or promotes sales of non-medical drugs by the poster of the content or their associates
• Promotes, encourages, co-ordinates or provides instructions for use of non-medical drugs

• Asking if anyone has the product for sale/trade
• This applies to both individual pieces of content and Pages and Groups primarily dedicated to the sale of marijuana or pharmaceutical drugs

Content that attempts to sell, gift, exchange or transfer firearms, firearm parts, ammunition or explosives between private individuals. This includes content that:

• Mentions or depicts firearms, firearm parts, ammunition or explosives and a product unrelated to firearms and

Explicitly mentions that the product is for sale or transfer and

• Asks the audience to buy the product or
• Lists the price or notes that the product is free, or
• Encourages contact about the product either by explicitly asking to be contacted or including any type of contact information

Suicide and self-injury

In an effort to promote a safe environment on InVastor, we remove content that encourages suicide or self-injury, including real-time depictions that might lead others to engage in similar behaviour. Self-injury is defined as the intentional and direct injuring of the body, including self-mutilation and eating disorders. We want InVastor to be a space where people can share their experiences, raise awareness about these issues and support each other through difficult experiences, and so we allow people to discuss suicide and self-injury. We encourage people to offer and to seek support from one another in connection with these difficult topics.

We work with organisations around the world to provide assistance to people in distress. We also talk with experts in suicide and self-injury to help inform our policies and enforcement. For example, we have been advised by experts that we should not remove live videos of self-harm while there is an opportunity for loved ones and authorities to provide help or resources. We remove any content that identifies and negatively targets victims or survivors of self-injury or suicide seriously, humorously or rhetorically. People can, however, share information about self-injury and suicide to draw attention to the issue and allow for discussion so long as they do not promote or encourage self-injury or suicide.

Do not post:

Content that promotes, encourages, coordinates or provides instructions for

• Suicide
• Self-injury
• Eating disorders

Content about self-injury that contains promotional slogans without clear, anti-self-injury disclaimers

Except in limited situations of newsworthiness, it is against our policies to post content depicting a person who engaged in a suicide attempt or death by suicide

For the following content, we include a warning screen so that people are aware that the content may be disturbing:

• Photos or videos depicting a person's death by suicide that are determined to be newsworthy
• Photos or videos depicting a person who engaged in euthanasia/assisted suicide in a medical setting

We provide resources to people who post written or verbal admissions of engagement in self-injury, including:

• Suicide
• Euthanasia/assisted suicide
• Self-mutilation
• Eating disorders
• Images where more than one cut of self-mutilation is present on a body part and the primary subject of the image is one or more unhealed cuts

Child nudity and sexual exploitation of children

We do not allow content that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images. We also work with external experts, to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, especially with regard to children.

Do not post:

Content that depicts participation in or advocates for the sexual exploitation of children, including (but not limited to):

• Engaging in any sexual activity involving minors
• Soliciting, displaying, sharing or viewing imagery of nude, sexualised or sexual activity with minors
• Arranging real-world sexual encounters or obtaining sexual material from a minor directly

• Using our products and site functionality with the intention of sexualising minors

Content (including photos, videos, real-world art, digital content and text) that depicts:

• Any sexual activity involving minors

• Visible anus and/or fully nude close-up of buttocks
• Uncovered female nipples for children older than toddler age
• No clothes present from neck to knee for children older than toddler age
• Digitally created depictions of nude minors, unless the image is for health or educational purposes

Sexual exploitation of adults

We recognise the importance of InVastor as a place to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We believe that this is an important part of building common understanding and community. In an effort to create space for this conversation while promoting a safe environment, we remove content that depicts, threatens or promotes sexual violence, sexual assault or sexual exploitation, while also allowing space for victims to share their experiences. We remove content that displays, advocates for or coordinates sexual acts with non-consenting parties or commercial sexual services. We do this to avoid facilitating transactions that may involve trafficking, coercion and non-consensual sexual acts. "Sexual services" include prostitution, escort services, sexual massages and filmed sexual activity.

To protect victims and survivors, we also remove images that depict incidents of sexual violence and intimate images shared without permission from the people pictured.

Do not post:

Content (including photos, videos, digital content and verbal depictions) that shows or advocates for any form of crushing, necrophilia, bestiality, or non-consensual sexual touching.

Content that attempts to exploit people by any of the following:

• Coercing money, favours or illicit images from people by threats of exposure of their naked or semi-naked photos/videos
• Sharing imagery that fulfils all three of the following conditions:
• Image is non-commercial or produced in a private setting
• Person in the image is (near) nude, engaged in sexual activity or in a sexual pose
• Lack of consent to share the image is indicated by
• Vengeful context (for example, caption, comments or Page title)
• Independent sources (for example, media coverage or law enforcement record)
• A visible match between the person depicted in the image and the person who has reported the content to us
• The person who reported the content to us shares the same name as the person depicted in the image
• Sharing imagery where the focal point is crotch, chest, buttocks or upskirt and either
• The person in the image is apparently not aware that the image is being taken
• It would be impossible to determine whether the person is aware
• Threatening or stating an intent to share intimate imagery without consent
• Soliciting intimate imagery to view or share without consent

Attempts to coordinate adult sexual services or engaging in sexual solicitation including (but not limited to):

• Escort services
• Prostitution
• Filmed sexual encounters
• Sexualised massage
• Requesting rates on images of escorts
• Offering contact information with escort images or sexual solicitation slang terms
• Arranged marriages with refugees or internally displaced persons
• Paid domination service
• Offering or soliciting sex or sexual fetish partners

Bullying

Bullying happens in many places and comes in many different forms from making statements degrading someone's character to posting inappropriate images to threatening someone. We do not tolerate bullying on InVastor because we want the members of our community to feel safe and respected.

We will remove content that purposefully targets private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them. We recognise that bullying can be especially harmful to minors, and our policies provide heightened protection for minors because they are more vulnerable and susceptible to online bullying. In certain instances, we require the individual who is the target of bullying to report content to us before removing it.

Our Bullying Policies do not apply to public figures because we want to allow discourse, which often includes critical discussion of people who are featured in the news or who have a large public audience. Discussion of public figures nonetheless must comply with our Community Standards, and we will remove content about public figures that breaches other policies, including hate speech or credible threats.

Do not post:

Content about another private individual that reflects:

• Claims about sexual activity
• Degrading physical descriptions about or ranking individuals on physical appearance or personality
• Threats of non-consensual sexual touching
• Sexualised text targeting another individual
• An individual in a context that is intended to degrade, for example, menstruating, urinating, vomiting or defecating
• Physical bullying where the context further degrades the individual
• Comparison to animals that are culturally perceived as intellectually or physically inferior or to an inanimate object

Content that has been photoshopped to target and demean an individual, including by highlighting specific physical characteristics or threatening violence in text or with imagery

Content that specifies an individual as the target of:

• Statements of intent to commit violence
• Calls for action of violence
• Statements advocating violence
• Aspirational and conditional statements of violence
• Physical bullying

In addition, we may remove Pages or groups that are dedicated to attacking individual(s) by, for example:

• Cursing at an individual or individuals
• Making negative character claims
• Making negative ability claims

We also remove content that is targeted at minors when it contains:

• Cursing
• Claims about romantic involvement or sexual orientation
• Allegations about criminal or illegal behaviour
• Coordinating, advocating or promoting exclusion
• Negative character claims
• Negative ability claims
• Negative physical description
• Expressions of contempt or disgust
• Calls for death or serious disease or disability
• Videos of physical bullying or violence against minors in a fight context shared with no caption or a neutral or praising caption

Harassment

We do not tolerate harassment on InVastor. We want people to feel safe to engage and connect with their community. Our Harassment Policy applies to both public and private individuals because we want to prevent unwanted or malicious contact on the platform. Context and intent matter, and we allow people to share and re-share posts if it is clear that something was shared in order to condemn or draw attention to harassment. In addition to reporting such behaviour and content, we encourage people to use tools available on InVastor to help protect against it.

Do not:

Repeatedly contact a single person despite that person's clear desire and action to prevent that contact

Repeatedly contact large numbers of people with no prior solicitation

Send messages to any individual that contain:

Send messages to a group that contain any Bullying Policy breaches, regardless of whether the person being targeted is a public or private individual

Target anyone maliciously, including public figures, by:

• Attacking them based on their status as a victim of sexual assault or sexual exploitation
• Threatening any participant in public discourse with violence in an attempt to intimidate or silence them
• Calling for self-injury or suicide of a specific person or group of people

Target victims or survivors of violent tragedies by name or by image, with claims that they are:

• Lying about being a victim of an event
• Acting/pretending to be a victim of an event
• Otherwise paid or employed to mislead people about their role in the event

Privacy breaches and image privacy rights

Privacy and the protection of personal information are fundamentally important values for InVastor. We work hard to keep your account secure and safeguard your personal information in order to protect you from potential physical or financial harm. You should not post personal or confidential information about others without first getting their consent. We also provide people with ways to report imagery that they believe to be in breach of their privacy rights.

Do not post:

Content that facilitates identity theft by posting or soliciting personally identifiable information, including (but not limited to):

• The content contains the agent's full name or other explicit identification and explicitly mentions their undercover status, or
• The content contains images identifying the faces of the law enforcement personnel and explicitly mentions their undercover status

Content that exposes information about safe houses by sharing any of the below, unless the safe house is actively promoting its location, contact information or the type of service and protection

it offers through comments, posts, Pages or Groups:

• Actual address of the safe house ("Post Box only" is allowed),

• An adult, where the content was reported by the adult from outside the United States and applicable law may provide rights to removal
• Any person who is incapacitated and unable to report the content on their own

Hate speech

We do not allow hate speech on InVastor because it creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion and in some cases may promote real-world violence.

We define hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics – race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity and serious disability or disease. We also provide some protections for immigration status. We define "attack" as violent or dehumanising speech, statements of inferiority, or calls for exclusion or segregation. We separate attacks into three tiers of severity, as described below.

Sometimes people share content containing someone else's hate speech for the purpose of raising awareness or educating others. Similarly, in some cases, words or terms that might otherwise breach our standards are used self-referentially or in an empowering way. When this is the case, we allow the content, but we expect people to clearly indicate their intent, which helps us better understand why they shared it. Where the intention is unclear, we may remove the content. We allow humour and social commentary related to these topics. In addition, we believe that people are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary using their authentic identity.

Do not post:

Attacks which target a person or group of people who share one of the above-listed characteristics or immigration status (including all subsets except those described as having carried out violent crimes or sexual offences), where attack is defined as:

• Any violent speech or support for death/disease/harm

• Reference or comparison to filth, bacteria, disease or faeces

• Reference or comparison to sub-humanity
• Mocking the concept, events or victims of hate crimes even if no real person is depicted in an image

Content that describes or negatively targets people with slurs,

where slurs are defined as words commonly used as insulting labels for the above-listed characteristics.

Graphic violence

We remove content that glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others because it may create an environment that discourages participation. We allow graphic content (with some limitations) to help people raise awareness about issues. We know that people value the ability to discuss important issues such as human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. We also know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent content. For that reason, we add a warning label to especially graphic or violent content so that it is not available to people under the age of eighteen and so that people are aware of the graphic or violent nature before they click to see it.

Do not post:

Imagery of violence committed against real people or animals with comments or captions by the poster that contain

• Enjoyment of suffering
• Enjoyment of humiliation
• Erotic response to suffering

Videos of dying, wounded or dead people if they contain

• Dismemberment unless in a medical setting

Adult nudity and sexual activity

We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content. Additionally, we default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content. Restrictions on the display of sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless it is posted for educational, humorous or satirical purposes.

Our Nudity Policies have become more nuanced over time. We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause or for educational or medical reasons. Where such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breastfeeding and photos of post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures and other art that depicts nude figures.

Do not post:

Images of

• Real nude adults, where nudity is defined as
• Visible genitalia
• Visible anus and/or fully nude close-ups of buttocks unless photoshopped on a public figure

• Sexual activity, including
• Sexual intercourse
• Explicit sexual intercourse, defined as mouth or genitals entering or in contact with another person's genitals or anus, where at least one person's genitals are nude

• Erections
• Presence of by-products of sexual activity

We believe that people share and connect more freely when they do not feel targeted based on their vulnerabilities. As such, we have higher expectations for content that we call cruel and insensitive, which we define as content that targets victims of serious physical or emotional harm.

Do not post:

Content that depicts real people and mocks their implied or actual serious physical injuries, disease or disability, non-consensual sexual touching or premature death

Spam

We work hard to limit the spread of commercial spam to prevent false advertising, fraud and security breaches, all of which detract from people's ability to share and connect. We do not allow people to use misleading or inaccurate information to collect likes, followers or shares.

Do not:

• Artificially increase distribution for financial gain
• Create or use fake accounts or compromise other people's accounts to
• Impersonate or pretend to be a business, organisation, public figure or private individual
• Attempt to create connections, create content or message people
• Restrict access to content by requiring people to like, share or recommend before viewing
• Encourage likes, shares or clicks under false pretences
• Maliciously use login credentials or personally identifiable information by:
• Attempting to gather or share login credentials or personally identifiable information
• Using another person's login credentials or personally identifiable information
• Promise non-existent InVastor features

Misrepresentation

Authenticity is the cornerstone of our community. We believe that people are more accountable for their statements and actions when they use their authentic identities. That's why we require people to connect on InVastor using the name that they go by in everyday life. Our Authenticity Policies are intended to create a safe environment where people can trust and hold one another accountable.

Do not:

Misrepresent your identity by

• Using a name that does not abide by our  Policies
• Providing a false date of birth

Misuse our profiles product by

• Creating a profile for someone under thirteen years old
• Maintaining multiple accounts
• Creating inauthentic profiles
• Sharing an account with any other person
• Creating another account after being banned from the site
• Evading the registration requirements outlined in our Terms of Service

Impersonate others by

• Using their images with the explicit aim to deceive people
• Creating a profile assuming the persona of or speaking for another person or entity
• Creating a Page that speaks for another person or entity without authorisation when the authorised party objects to the content

Engage in inauthentic behaviour, which includes creating, managing or otherwise perpetuating

• Accounts that are fake
• Accounts that have fake names
• Accounts that participate in co-ordinated inauthentic behaviour, meaning that multiple accounts are working together to do any of the following:
• Mislead people about the origin of content
• Mislead people about the destination of links off our services (for example, providing a display URL that does not match the destination URL)
• Mislead people in an attempt to encourage shares, likes or clicks

False news

Reducing the spread of false news on InVastor is a responsibility that we take seriously. We also recognise that this is a challenging and sensitive issue. We want to help people stay informed without stifling productive public discourse. There is also a fine line between false news and satire or opinion. For these reasons, we don't remove false news from InVastor, but instead significantly reduce its distribution by showing it lower in the News Feed.

We are working to build a more informed community and reduce the spread of false news in a number of different ways, namely by

• Disrupting economic incentives for people, Pages and domains that propagate misinformation
• Using various signals, including feedback from our community, to inform a machine learning model that predicts which stories may be false
• Reducing the distribution of content rated as false by independent third-party fact-checkers
• Empowering people to decide for themselves what to read, trust and share by informing them with more context and promoting news literacy
• Collaborating with academics and other organisations to help solve this challenging issue

Memorialisation

When we learn that someone has passed away, we memorialise the account by adding "Remembering" above the name on the person's profile. This makes it clear that the account is now a memorial site and protects against attempted logins and fraudulent activity. We do not remove, update or change anything about the profile or the account because we want to respect the choices that someone made while still alive. We have also made it possible for people to identify a legacy contact to look after their account after they pass away. People can let us know in advance if they want their account permanently deleted when they die. We may delete profiles when the next of kin tells us that the person who passed would have preferred that we delete the account rather than memorialise it.

Once we become aware that a person has passed away:

• Their account is secured and memorialised by adding "Remembering" above the name on the person's profile. The profile or account is not updated or otherwise changed in any way
• Immediate family members can also request that we remove a loved one's profile
