Content policy

✓Allowed

• →Memes, jokes, satire, and parody about public institutions, public officials, public policy, and current events.
• →Sharp, bold, irreverent commentary on unemployment, exam paper leaks, hustle culture, and the political establishment.
• →Mock manifestos, fictional posters, fake demand-lists, satirical news headlines — provided they are clearly marked as satire.
• →Constructive criticism of identifiable individuals on their public conduct (not their identity, family, or appearance).
• →Personal venting about your job search, exams, government offices, or the relatives at your last family gathering.

✗Not allowed

• →Hate or harassment based on caste, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or region.
• →Threats of violence — physical, sexual, or otherwise — against any person.
• →Doxxing: sharing private contact info, home/work address, or identification documents of any person.
• →Non-consensual intimate imagery, or sexual content involving anyone under 18.
• →Impersonating any real person, official, judge, politician, or public figure — even satirically. (Parodying institutions is fine. Pretending to be the CJI is not.)
• →Coordinated brigading, mass-report abuse, vote manipulation, or platform manipulation.
• →Misinformation framed as news. Satire is fine. Fabricated news framed as real is not.
• →Incitement to violence, contempt of court, or anything that violates Indian law.
• →Spam, scams, phishing, malware, or pyramid schemes.
• →Sale of regulated goods (weapons, drugs, prescription medication, etc.).

Edge cases

Satirical political content lives in a grey zone. Here's how we call it.

Enforcement & moderation

• Every post passes a layered moderation pipeline: hard-block keyword filter → AI pre-screen (Perspective + Rekognition) → human moderator queue for borderline cases.
• Decisions are logged in an audit trail. Removed posts get an in-app notification with the rule that was applied and a "Dispute" button.
• Disputes are reviewed within 24 hours by a different moderator. Final calls escalate to the Grievance Officer.
• Repeated violations escalate from warning → temporary suspension → permanent ban. Severe violations (CSAM, doxxing of minors, threats of violence) skip directly to permanent ban and may be reported to law enforcement.

Election periods

During notified election periods, additional restrictions kick in via "MCC Mode":

• The 48-hour silence period before polls: electoral content is hidden from the feed; new electoral posts are blocked.
• Exit-poll content is blocked through the legally-mandated window.
• "Vote for X" / "Donate to candidate Y" content is removed unless CJP itself is a §29A-registered party with ECI pre-certification.
