As a proud participant in the WordPress eco-system, we wish to\u00a0incorporate\u00a0the guidelines set forth by the great people at <a href=\"https:\/\/automattic.com\">Automattic<\/a>. \u00a0Our audience is spread across many cultures, countries and backgrounds with varying values and our service is designed to let users freely express any ideas and opinions without us censoring or endorsing them. That being said, there are a few categories of content and behavior that we don\u2019t permit because we consider them harmful to the community.<\/p>\n<p>To be transparent about\u00a0what is and isn\u2019t allowed on your site, we\u2019ve incorporated this set of guidelines from WordPress.com. The following activity\/material isn\u2019t allowed on any of OPTe.io&#8217;s websites.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Illegal content and conduct.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Self-explanatory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intellectual property infringement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">OPTe.io is a publishing, rather than a file sharing platform, so we recognize that copyrighted materials are often used in <\/span><a style=\"font-weight: 500;\" href=\".\/fair-use\/\">fair use<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> context. We strongly support this and urge copyright holders to take this into consideration before submitting complaints. If you\u2019re not sure, a good rule of thumb is to always ask the rights holder for permission before republishing their content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pornography.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">We know that there may be different definitions of this, but generally, we define pornography as visual depictions of sexually explicit acts.
