Policy Center

These standards apply to everything shown inside Zedgram: posts in all three formats (articles, videos and audio), comments, user profiles, and account names and pictures. They complement — and never replace — the Terms & Conditions: the Terms govern your contractual relationship with the platform, while this page governs your relationship with everyone else in the community.

Our philosophy in one line: freedom of expression is a wide space we protect, but it never means the freedom to harm or mislead others. Every rule here is built on that balance, and every moderation decision traces back to it.

Zedgram is not a stage for showing off but a community of knowledge: a publisher creates content, a reader gives it time and trust, and dialogue brings the two together. Relationships here take three shapes: following a publisher whose content you like, commenting on a post you enjoyed or learned from, and reacting in ways that support good content. Each shape has its etiquette:

• Following Following a publisher is a voluntary commitment to the quality of their content, not a license to pester them. Harassing a publisher through comments or messages across multiple accounts is a form of stalking prohibited in Section 4.
• Commenting The comment area is a discussion space about the content itself: discuss the idea, disagree with the argument, add information or experience — but do not attack the author personally or insult fellow participants.
• Constructive criticism Criticizing content — its style, facts or quality — is a guaranteed right and a needed one; it is among the most useful things that help publishers improve. Constructive criticism targets the work; abuse targets the human being.

Publishers in turn are responsible for the space of their content: we encourage open, calm dialogue, and using the platform to go after readers, mock them or rally the audience against someone is not allowed.

Every rule on this page branches from five values we treat as the community’s constitution:

• Authenticity content is genuinely its creator’s: no plagiarism, no copying without rights, no fake accounts impersonating others.
• Safety everyone is safe in person, data and time inside the platform: no threats, no fraud, no manipulation.
• Dignity everyone is addressed in their humanity: no racism, no demeaning, no hate speech against any group.
• Voice every opinion has its space as long as it does not violate the rights of others — we protect dissenting views exactly as we protect agreeing ones.
• Others’ privacy people’s personal data is a red line: do not publish about someone what they have not declared themselves.

The following categories are banned across all formats and spaces — as posts, comments, account names or descriptions. The list is deliberately explicit so no one is surprised by a decision:

The most important clarification on this page: community standards are never used to silence opinion. Political, religious and intellectual debate is a full right, and a sharp stance on an issue — even one that angers many — is not in itself a violation. What is prohibited is crossing from criticism into abuse: from critiquing the idea to demeaning its holder, and from disagreement to threats.

Our community crosses countries and languages, and what is considered offensive in one country may not be in another: a symbol ordinary in one culture may be sacred in another, a common word here may be a slur there, and a topic acceptable in one society may touch a cultural taboo in another. That is why we do not apply the standards through the lens of a single country, but according to two principles:

• A fixed global minimum the red lines in Section 4 are global and do not change by country: violence, hate, exploitation and fraud are prohibited everywhere and for everyone.
• Sensitivity to local context below that minimum, we consider the context of the country where the content is shown and the context of its audience: the content’s language, its audience’s culture, the publisher’s intent and the circumstances of publication before deciding.

This is why a post may be shown to one country’s audience and hidden from another’s without penalizing its publisher, and why a phrasing may pass in one language and not in another. The goal is not punishment but protecting each local community by what its culture requires — while the red-line rules remain identical for all.

Reporting is the fastest way to protect the community, and we put it within reach from inside any post in a few steps:

The list below is the live set of report reasons currently active on the platform. It is managed centrally by the admin team and updated whenever needed — what you see here is exactly what appears in the report window according to the post’s format and context:

Note that some reasons appear only for paid content and some are tied to a specific format — by design: each post’s report list reflects the realistic violations of that exact format, so whoever reports is not drowned in reasons that make no sense in the context of the post in front of them.

Every report enters a clear review path — there is no button that automatically deletes content the moment it is pressed:

We never disclose a reporter’s identity to anyone — not even to the publisher of the reported content, no matter who they are or what they request. No publisher or user may punish their followers or visitors for reporting: any visible retaliation campaign of that kind is a violation in itself and is dealt with more firmly. If you face such a campaign after reporting, report again and we will address the campaign itself.

Everyone errs, and fairness is part of the standards, not an exception to them. If action is taken on your content you will receive a message explaining why, and the content owner has the full right to appeal through the contact page: mention the post, the decision and your objection — appeals are reviewed by an eye other than the one that made the first decision whenever possible. If the decision proves to have been a judgment made in the wrong place, the content is restored and the action’s trace is removed from the account’s record.

And always remember: full ownership of your content is yours as detailed in the Terms & Conditions — but ownership does not cancel the standards; the platform retains the full right to disable or delete any unsuitable post within its spaces.

These standards are a living document: they grow with the community and are updated whenever new abuse patterns appear or clarification becomes necessary. Every version is published here with a refreshed “Last updated” date at the top of the page, and material changes are highlighted inside the platform. Suggestions to improve them are welcome via the contact page — a community whose standards are written with it is better than one they are written for.

The last update of these standards: November 5, 2026.
