Overview

In order to provide a safe environment for users to share and interact, we do not permit user behavior that causes or can directly result in harm to people, animals or property. This includes harassment on the platform. At no time are people allowed to use the unpress platform to coordinate harmful actions against others, both on the platform and off of it.

Discussion and exploration of the legality of criminal and harmful activities is allowed for the purpose of informing people and drawing attention to them and the effects they might have. This is permitted as long as the discussions do not advocate for or coordinate harm. Facilitating, organizing or promoting certain criminal or harmful activities targeted at people, businesses, property or animals is prohibited.
