Content Moderation Policy
By using this website, you agree to this policy—please read carefully.
Introduction:
This document outlines BoostX's Content Moderation Policy (“Policy”). This Policy explains when, why, and how BoostX can moderate content and how content that violates BoostX's Terms of Service is handled. If you are a BoostX User, this Policy forms part of your legal agreement with BoostX. Please carefully read this Policy in full. Here are a few key things to note:
- Our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines explain what is and what is not permitted on BoostX.
- Appeals concerning a decision to deactivate content, deactivate an account, or issue a final warning must be addressed by completing a deactivation appeal form and are subject to our Appeals Policy.
Interpretation:
Unless specifically defined in this Policy, the meanings given to words defined in the Terms of Service have the same meanings in this Policy.
When BoostX moderates content:
While BoostX is a platform for creators and users to express themselves freely, we moderate content to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service, including our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines.
Why we moderate content:
BoostX enables creators to monetize their content and engage with their audience. To protect our user community, BoostX can, but is not obligated to, moderate content to ensure compliance with BoostX's Terms of Service.
What content we moderate:
At any time, we may choose to review and remove content that is shared on BoostX, including text, audio, images, direct messages, and videos.
How we moderate content:
BoostX uses advanced digital technologies in combination with human moderation to ensure that content complies with our Terms of Service. Our trained moderators take action to remove any content they believe violates our Terms of Service.
What technology BoostX uses to moderate content:
We utilize a range of technology tools to identify content that may violate our Terms of Service. These include:
- "Hashlists" and "stop words" (words banned on BoostX) to scan media, audio, and text for terms and images that are not permitted. "Hashlists" are collections of unique identifiers assigned to existing harmful online media, including non-consensual intimate images (NCII) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Content matching a bad "hashlist" or "stop word" will automatically be blocked from appearing on BoostX.
- Image and text scanning technology tools assist our human moderators in prioritizing content for review. These tools automatically scan media and text for potential violations of our Terms of Service. Potential violations are then reviewed by human moderators before any decision to deactivate content is made.
Consequences of sharing improper content:
If a user shares content that violates BoostX's Terms of Service, we may:
- Deactivate the content,
- Issue a warning,
- Issue a final warning,
- Deactivate the account,
- Ban the account holder from the BoostX platform.
If a user commits serious violations or repeatedly posts content that violates BoostX's Terms of Service, we may suspend or terminate that user’s account(s) and may prohibit that user from opening new accounts on BoostX.
Some of the reasons we may remove content:
We most commonly remove content for violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, such as content that:
- Features a creator we cannot verify as 18+,
- Features a creator whose identity we cannot verify, including accounts or content that are entirely AI-generated,
- Features a creator pretending to be under 18, even if this is role play or fiction,
- Is sexually explicit and includes a person who is not the verified creator and has not confirmed their age, identity, or consent,
- Involves nudity in a public place or around animals,
- Is illegal where you live or where the content was captured,
- Features blood or could be considered violent or extreme,
- Features weapons or illegal drugs,
- Features an everyday object being used in a way that is likely to cause harm, including using it as a sex toy,
- Refers to creators and fans meeting in person, including raffles and competitions.
Illegal Content:
BoostX will deactivate the content and, where appropriate, report it to law enforcement. We report all suspected CSAM to the relevant authorities. You can read more about how we comply with our data-sharing obligations in our Privacy Policy and how we assist law enforcement.
Appeal of a Content Moderation decision:
If you believe BoostX incorrectly deactivated your content or account, you can appeal the decision by completing a BoostX deactivation appeal form in accordance with our Appeals Policy.
