2: SCOPE OF POLICY

Every day, people use My Friend Spot to share their experiences, connect with friends and family, and build communities. Our services enable people to freely express themselves across countries and cultures. My Friend Spot recognizes how important it is for our site to be places where people feel empowered to communicate, and we take our role seriously in keeping abuse off the site. That’s why we developed standards for what is and isn’t allowed on My Friend Spot.

These standards are based on feedback from people and the advice of experts in fields like technology, public safety and human rights. To ensure everyone’s voice is valued, we take great care to create standards that include different views and beliefs, especially from people and communities that might otherwise be overlooked or marginalized. We encourage people to express their views and opinions, and we are aware that we as a company may not always agree with your ideas and or opinions. However, whether we agree or not, we feel that as long as you follow our policies you should be free to express yourself.

3: OFFENSIVE IS NOT ALWAYS A VIOLATION

We know different people have different ideas, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. We also know that this carries into what others feel is offensive content. You may think something is fine, and another person may be greatly offended by it. However My Friend Spot is a believer and supporter of free and open speech. But we also know that there has to be policies and rules in place that ensure a line is not crossed. That "line" is what this section of this policy will discuss and outline.

We want people to be able to express themselves, we want businesses to be able to share their services and products. We want members to express religious, political and other views.

Doxing others is not allowed, and below we will get into what is safe, and what is not considered safe content on My Friend Spot.

CONTENT NOT ALLOWED
The following content is not allowed on My Friend Spot. Now we know there are "fine lines" with much of this, and so we look at reports of these kinds of content on a case by case basis. As we aid above, what you find offensive does not make it necessarily a violation of our policies.
