Glimpse’s community Standards
Glimpse is a diverse business social media platform, and while you may not necessarily agree with a given perspective, it may not be a violation of our community standards. If you see a page on Glimpse that you feel violates our community standards, please send a support email with your concerns and we will address is right away. Glimpse”s support team will review the report and if the Community Standards have been violated, support will get in touch with the Influencer to let them know.
Glimpse different from other platforms. We always want Influencers to feel like they have an open line of communication. So how does this translate to content moderation? Our first reflex is always to try to educate Influencers to help them understand how a rule has been broken and how to remedy the issue. In cases where the violation is particularly bad or intentional we may take further action such as suspending or removing their account. In the most extreme cases we may ban a Influencer from using Glimpse.
No matter what happens, we always give Influencers the opportunity to appeal a decision by contacting us and sending any relevant information they do not believe was considered. We may not change our minds, but we will always listen.
Please have fun
Community Standards are here to help shape and guide Glimpse and the growing number of Influencers and followers using it. It’s about making Glimpse a place where diverse Influencers and their followers feel excited. While still allowing for different—and sometimes even conflicting—points of view.
Copyright Infringement
Glimpse is for Influencers who put something original out into the world. You may not post content that infringes on others’ intellectual property rights. You can’t create fake pages or collect money for things you’re not actually doing. Example of this is no posting content for fan pages you do not own..
You cannot pretend or impersonate another content creators, such as using someone else’s name, brand, or content in order to raise funds. We will review satire and comedy in a different way as we believe these subgenres are original content. If we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice then we will remove that conten.
In conclusion, be yourself, respectul and curtious to others.
Not being nice
We don’t allow bullying or harassment because we want Glimpse to feel like a safe place for our various communities. At the same time, we want people to be able to express themselves, be critical, and discuss controversial issues. We draw the line although when it comes to harassing private individuals or taking any action that might affect people’s physical safety, whether these people are private or public. As much as we want you to be able to express yourself, we want all of our users to have the right to express their opinion without feeling intimidated. Even the most difficult conversations should take place in the most respectful way. Here is how we define these behaviors.
Threats
Anyone on Glimpse should be able to express their opinion in a way that doesn’t threaten another person. In this respect, we take threats of violence very seriously. Any Influencer or Follower threatening the well-being of an individual or group of people will be removed. This includes threatening behavior such as stalking or inciting others to commit violent acts.
Adult Content
We do not allow pornography on Glimpse. We require that all public content on your page be appropriate for all audiences. Sensitive content themes must be maintained behind a gated wall. These gated areas are Sponsored page, Sponsored album or Private album which are not in public view. Sensitive content may not be in any public viewable spaces such as profile images or public albums. We ask creators to flag themselves as content type “sensitive’ if their creations may be considered inappropriate for people under 18 years of age.
Examples of sensitive content are:
- Works featuring nudity that is not designed to be sexually gratifying, such as photos of sculptures or paintings
- Works featuring nudity or sexual situations that are designed for educational purposes
- Any language profanity or “adult” language
- Works depicting real people in the nude contexts
- Animations or illustrations depicting nudity, and animations or illustrations featuring nudity
- Audio content that features simulated mature themes.
We have zero tolerance when it comes to the glorification of sexual violence which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of content. Glimpse reserves the right to review and remove accounts that may violate this guideline. As a reminder, you should never post or share nude content of any individual under the age of 18, including yourself. As a strong commitment to child safety, we will work with law enforcement whenever we come across child exploitation.
We also do not allow other fringe sexual fetish content, such as incest, necrophilia, or fetish content that is hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex.
We understand that some topics on this list such as incest or rape are a little bit more complicated because these situations are, unfortunately, part of real life. As a result, when reviewing this type of content, the Trust and Safety team will take into consideration context including personal, historical or educational narrative. For example, survivor stories or fiction such as Game of Thrones or Lolita are allowed on Glimpse.
Personas Non Gratis
Because Glimpse empowers people financially, we impose restrictions not only on the types of content and projects that can be funded through Glimpse, but also on which people can and cannot receive funds through Glimpse.
After creating a Glimpse page, any Influencer caught in the act or convicted of making credible violent threats, committing violent crimes, child abuse, malicious doxing, coordinating nonviolent harm (such as fraud, money laundering and gambling), or encouraging others to do any of these activities, may be banned from using Glimpse.
Dangerous Organizations
People with a dangerous criminal history or a known affiliation with violent or dangerous groups (including terrorist or cyber terrorist organizations, organized criminal groups, and violent hate groups), cannot receive funds through Glimpse, no matter the purpose or apparent intention of their Glimpse page.
You can discuss these groups on Glimpse but any Influencer praising or actively supporting these groups or their leaders won’t be allowed on Glimpse.
Harmful or Dangerous Activity
We don’t allow funds to be collected for anything that facilitates harmful or illegal activities. You cannot post content that advocates, threatens or shows you causing harm to yourself or other people, as well as animals. In the same line as violent and harmful activities, you cannot promote illegal activities, such as property crime, distribution of illegal weapons, or drug manufacturing.
Self-harm
We don’t allow any page that promotes or glorifies self-harm, such as pages that encourage self-injury, suicide, or an eating disorder. Examples include pages that glorify self-scarification or a pro-anorexia campaign. If we believe there’s a credible risk the Influencer will harm themselves, we will work with law enforcement when needed. However, we allow content that promotes awareness such as self-harm survival stories, especially if they have educational value.
If you or someone close to you might be in danger of hurting themselves, please contact local authorities or seek help: http://www.suicide.org/suicide-hotlines.html
Illegal Activity
We don’t allow pages that collect money for an illegal purpose, or that encourage others to break the law. For example, Influencers may not promote illegal weapons, drug manufacturing techniques or distribution, or property crime. For example, we don’t allow content that organizes or encourages vandalism. Note that we do allow street art.
Dangerous Activities
We ask that content creators do not ingage in any dangerous activites on Glimpse while usuing the platform
Spam
While it can be hard to grow your Followers, no one likes being spammed. These are some of the actions we consider to be spamming, which is prohibited on Glimpse:
Don’t create pledging schemes;
Don’t contact other Influencers to have a pledge-for-a-pledge kind of trade deal.
Don’t use Glimpse to release or link to malware or phishing content. Don’t post misleading content to grow your Followers.
Don’t post comments on other content creators’ pages promoting your own page.
Don’t send a large number of unsolicited private messages asking for support.
Don’t use incorrect tagging in order to drive more search results.
Don’t create Bots
We take a strong stance against doxing because it is used to silence or intimidate people with different viewpoints on the internet. It can cause extensive emotional trauma, and can put the victim’s physical safety at risk.
The most classic form of doxing is when an individual’s private personal information is shared. This could be information such as a phone number or home address. The definition of private personal information can vary, and may mean that it is simply very difficult to find.
We also consider it to be doxing when an individual’s non-private information is aggregated. For example, we would consider it doxing if someone’s profile picture was combined with their real name, all of their known social media accounts, and the city they lived in.
No matter the specific information shared, we also evaluate the context around why it was shared. If it looks like this information is being shared for the purpose of making it easier for a large group to harass that individual, we are likely to consider it doxing.
When doxing takes place, we lose the ability to have conversations. Doxing isn’t speech countering speech, it is speech shutting down others’ ability to speak. It removes our ability to discuss ideas, grow as individuals and have a safe space for disagreement.
