We recognize that users may share content that includes references to designated dangerous organizations and individuals to report on, condemn, or neutrally discuss them or their activities. Our standards are designed to provide a space for these discussions while limiting the risks of potential harm. It is helpful to our moderators when people clearly indicate their intent when creating or sharing such content. If we need to make a determination based on our judgement because a person’s intention is unclear, we err on the side of caution and remove the content.

We also allow content which discusses dangerous individuals and organizations, unless the content includes praise of and advocates for them.

We may make limited exceptions for groups that have reformed or are currently engaging in a peaceful resolution process, as well as groups with representatives who have been elected to public office through democratic elections. We may also make exceptions related to the discussion of terrorism or extremism for clearly educational or documentary purposes. This policy also doesn’t apply to state or governmental organizations, including official government armed forces.

In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirized or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticize them.
