The Platform is provided to showcase content and creativity of all kinds so that Users can enjoy diverse and wide-ranging material. However, in order to make that possible, it is necessary for all Users to conduct themselves in a way that is respectful, honest and fair.

We encourage open and honest communication, but it must be conducted respectfully that does not infringe on the rights of others. If you disagree with someone, please do so respectfully.

• We encourage free speech and recognise that some opinions and viewpoints may cause upset or offend others. However, we will not in any circumstances tolerate speech which incites, encourages or expresses hatred to or against any ethnic, religious, gender, or other groups which share an identity characteristic.
• You must not post or upload hateful User Content. There are no exceptions to this rule.
• Your User Content is likely to be considered hateful if it encourages or wishes for violence/physical harm to a particular group of people, encourages for exclusion or segregation of a particular group of people, or if it contains slurs that are intended to degrade or dehumanize a particular group of people.

• The Platform expressly prohibits any content which glorifies, encourages, or seeks to recruit individuals to participate in terrorism or other extremist activity. There are no exceptions to this rule. Non-Consensual and Unsolicited Sexual Material

AI-Generated Media

Localfans is open to and supportive of creative users who wish to utilise AI-generated media. However, to ensure a respectful and safe community, Localfans has specific guidelines for uploading, posting, and sharing AI-generated media. This includes but is not limited to deepfakes, generated images, and other types of synthetic media.

• Disclosure: If you are uploading, posting or sharing AI-generated media on Localfans, you must disclose that it is not real and was generated using AI. This disclosure must be clear and prominent so that other community members know the media is not authentic. This may be displayed on the profile bio, content caption, or as a watermark on the media itself. Failure to properly disclose may result in your content being removed and/or your account being suspended.
• Nature: AI-generated media must not be used to create harmful or misleading content. Any content that is intended to deceive or harm others is strictly prohibited.
• Moderation: All content must pass Localfans's "Reasonable Person's Test," conducted by three or more members of Localfans's moderation team. The "Reasonable Person's Test" is designed to assess if a piece of AI content complies with Localfans's rules and policies. A failed test will result in the content being removed, multiple failures may result in your account being permanently suspended.
• Age and Appearance: AI-generated media uploaded to Localfans must not be of a real person other than the account owner or a consenting and verified co-creator, see more on our .............
. AI-generated media uploaded to Localfans must not be a person who resembles or intends to resemble (visually or contextually) an individual under the age of 18. Prompt text cannot be used to 'prove' the age of AI-generated content due to multiple variables such as the model used, training data, prompt weight, and delta.
• Compliance: All AI-generated media must be respectful and not violate any of the community guidelines. This includes but is not limited to avoiding harassment, hate speech, or discrimination.
• Copyright: AI-generated media must not infringe on any copyright or ownership rights. Uploading such content may result in legal consequences, and the uploader is responsible for ensuring they have the right to use and share the media. Media created by “Deepfake” Editing is illegal, without the permission or granted rights from the original content creator.
• Consequences: Violating these guidelines will result in appropriate consequences, determined based on the severity of the violation, and may include a warning, removal, suspension, or permanent ban from the community. Deepfaked content, including all forms of media, such as “faceswapping” is strictly prohibited from Localfans without the appropriate proof of copywrite permission, consent documents, and KYC ID documents of the original content author. Uploading and/or distributing media, reasonably determined as a deepfake, is considered illegal and will be removed from Localfans and may result in your account being permanently suspended, unless we have first verified the content and account. We retain the right to remove any content without notice if it breaks the community guidelines or Localfans policies. This includes but is not limited to AI-generated media that violates any of the guidelines outlined above.

Explicit Content

• Explicitly sexual content is permitted on the Platform. Still, as a wide audience of people uses the Platform, you must flag explicitly sexual content as “18+ Content”. In addition, you must not make explicit User Content available to Users, as a Paid for Service or otherwise, if you are aware, or ought reasonably to be aware, such Users are under the age of 18. Explicit User Content without the appropriate 18+ Content marking is prohibited, and you must not upload it to the Platform.
• Explicit User Content depicting or otherwise involving anyone under 18, including yourself, is prohibited. It is your responsibility to ensure that the subjects of your explicit User Content are over the age of 18 and to maintain appropriate documentation sufficient to evidence the same.
• User Content is likely to be considered explicit if it could be considered inappropriate for people under the age of 18; it contains material which is sexual or pornographic; or it depicts injury or violence in a way that is graphic, gratuitous, obscene or excessive.
• Context can be important in making a determination. In particular, content representing factual reporting on current events is less likely to be considered explicit when it consists of newsworthy images that help individuals understand the events being reported on properly. Likewise, images representing artistic or stylised representations of these subjects are less likely to be considered explicit by us.

Private Information

• You must not disclose or publish private information about others who have not consented to that publication. In particular, this includes publishing the name, address, or occupation of other Users who have not chosen to make that information about themselves public.

Impersonation:

• You must not use the Platform to impersonate other individuals in a way that is designed to mislead other Users. In particular, you must not use the Platform to impersonate other Users or public figures.
• ‘Parody’ or similar comedic use of the Platform is unlikely to infringe this rule. However, this kind of use must be clearly labelled and easily recognisable by its intended and likely audience. Unlawful Activity

For the avoidance of doubt, this includes content that solicits sales of goods/services which are unlawful in the jurisdiction of the buyer/seller, it includes content which solicits sexual activity with individuals below the age of consent, it includes content to designed to bully, harass, threaten or intimidate other individuals, and it includes content which promotes or encourages suicide or self-harm (including eating disorders).
