The TL;DR.
- We do not remove accounts because of lawful political, religious, or social opinions.
- We do remove things that are illegal, that put visitors and third parties at serious risk, or that abuse the platform itself.
- If we suspend you, we'll tell you the specific rule and (where it makes sense) give you a chance to appeal.
1. Our standing promise
LinkLiberator exists because creators were tired of being deplatformed over opinions. The rules below are short on purpose. If a behavior isn't on the list, you don't need to worry about it.
We aim to be transparent: when we take action against an account, we will tell you the specific rule we believe was broken. We won't shadow-suppress your traffic for the things you publish, and we won't quietly throttle reach based on the politics of what's behind your links.
2. Hard limits (zero tolerance)
The following will get content removed immediately and the account terminated, usually without a warning, and may be reported to the appropriate authorities where required by law:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in any form, including illustrated/animated depictions. We report to NCMEC.
- Sexual exploitation of minors, including grooming, sextortion, or links to content that does any of the above.
- Doxxing — publishing someone's private personal information (home address, phone number, workplace, immigration status, financial details, etc.) without their consent, especially when paired with intimidation or threat.
- Credible, specific threats of violence against identifiable people or places.
- Incitement to imminent lawless action as that term is understood under U.S. law (organizing a specific violent act, not strongly-worded opinion).
- Terrorism content — promotion, recruitment, or financing of designated terrorist organizations.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery ("revenge porn"), including sharing or linking to it.
- Human trafficking — solicitation, facilitation, or advertisement of trafficked persons or labor.
- Malware, phishing, or credential-harvesting links. If you point your audience at a site that tries to compromise their device or account, you're done.
- Fraud schemes — knowingly directing visitors to scams, fake stores, pump-and-dump promotions, or impersonation-for-money setups.
3. Lawful-but-restricted content
These categories are legal in many places but come with constraints on LinkLiberator because of where the links are seen (often by people who didn't choose the context):
- Adult content. You may link to legal adult content (e.g., your OnlyFans, your AVN-compliant site) as long as the link is clearly labeled. You may not upload sexual or nude imagery to your profile elements themselves — that means no nudity in your avatar, page background, link thumbnails, or banner. Profile pages can be seen by anyone, including minors who shouldn't see the imagery without warning.
- Firearms and ammunition. You may link to lawful retailers, manufacturers, instructors, and advocacy. You may not link to listings that bypass federal background checks, list NFA items without proper context, or advertise prohibited modifications.
- Cannabis, alcohol, tobacco, and similar regulated goods. Links to lawful storefronts are fine. Don't market to minors and don't make therapeutic claims.
- Gambling / sweepstakes. Lawful, licensed operators only. Don't promote to people in jurisdictions where it's illegal.
- Cryptocurrency. Real projects, fine. Pump-and-dump groups, fake "guaranteed returns," or links to drainer sites — no.
- Health, financial, and legal advice. If you're not a licensed professional in the relevant field, don't frame personal opinions as professional advice.
If you're not sure whether something fits, use our contact form before publishing.
4. Platform abuse
These are about how you use LinkLiberator itself, not what you publish:
- Multiple accounts to evade enforcement. If we suspend an account, don't make a second one to keep doing the same thing.
- Impersonating real people or organizations in a way intended to mislead followers (parody clearly labeled as parody is fine).
- Trademark / handle squatting — claiming a recognizable brand name with no legitimate use.
- Mass-spamming the handle-availability or registration endpoints, scraping, or otherwise abusing the API.
- Attempting to exploit the platform (find a security bug? please tell us — we won't pursue legal action for good-faith research).
5. What we will not remove you for
So there's no ambiguity:
- Lawful political opinions — left, right, libertarian, anarchist, monarchist. Doesn't matter.
- Religious viewpoints, including ones we personally find disagreeable, as long as they're not paired with hard-limit content above.
- Criticism of governments, corporations, public figures, journalists, activist groups, or LinkLiberator itself.
- Mocking, satire, parody, and pointed humor.
- Profanity, edgy memes, or "low-effort" content.
- Subject matter advertisers don't like (we have no advertisers — see Privacy Policy).
If a journalist, advocacy group, or government agency complains about an account that breaks none of the rules above, our default answer is "no." We document those requests in an annual transparency report.
6. How we enforce
The action we take depends on the severity and whether it's a first offense:
- Hard-limit violations (§2): immediate removal of the content. For most categories, immediate account termination. CSAM gets reported.
- Lawful-but-restricted issues (§3): typically a notice asking you to fix or relabel the content, with a reasonable deadline (usually 7 days). If unresolved, the specific link is hidden, not the account.
- Platform abuse (§4): proportional response — from rate-limiting and warnings up to termination for severe or repeated abuse.
If we suspend or terminate an account, we'll send a message that names the rule and quotes (or describes) the offending content where doing so doesn't make things worse (e.g., we won't republish doxxing in the notice).
7. Appeals
Most enforcement actions can be appealed by replying to the notice or using the contact form. We aim to respond to appeals within five business days. If we change our minds, we restore the account and any associated data. CSAM, trafficking, and credible-threat decisions are generally not subject to appeal.
8. Reporting violations
If you see something that breaks these rules, use the contact form (topic "Abuse") with:
- The full URL of the LinkLiberator profile or link.
- Which section of these Standards you believe was broken.
- A short description of why.
For urgent threats to life or safety, contact local emergency services first, then email us so we can preserve evidence.
