Reporting on, covering, investigation of these activities in order to raise awareness and educate others is the goal of UnpressUNPRESS.

We allow content that discusses these activities, also permissible as long as the policy laid out in this section is upheld, i.e. there should be no instruction in how-to, action taken to engage, promote, facilitate or advocate for the prohibited activities. With regards to instruction, illustrating how fraud and scams function from the perspective of a potential victim of fraud is not in violation of these standards. Instruction in how to perform these activities or obtain prohibited goods and services is a violation.
