6. Reporting Violations
If you see content that breaches these standards, please let us know:
- Report Button: Use the “Report” option on the post or profile.
- Contact Support: Email support@shortsy.me with details and links.
7. Sensitive Content Warning
Shortsy allows links to legal, age‑restricted adult or otherwise sensitive content in bio profiles, but does not permit embedding explicit material directly on the Platform. If you include such links, you must:
- Enable the “Sensitive Content” warning in your profile settings before publishing.
- Provide a clear label (e.g., “May contain adult or graphic material”).
- Ensure that users under 18 must click through the warning to access the content.
Failure to use the warning when linking to sensitive content may result in removal of your content or suspension of your account.
8. Updates to These Standards
We may update this policy to reflect new laws or community needs. Any changes will be posted here with a revised “Effective Date.”
