Community Standards

We desire that TrustedAt provides a platform that is universally receptive for professional, career, and social networking.

On this platform, we expect utmost respect among users cognisant of our policies.

• Desist from deceptive behaviour by being truthful about your profile and general engagement with the community.
• Post only authentic content on TrustedAt. We expect you to be an ardent contributor of knowledge in the information value chain for the benefit of the community.
• Be courteous and exercise professionalism in your engagements, keeping in mind that you may be the solution to the fight against disinformation

We appreciate you for using TrustedAt, where the world community comes together in search for answers, career opportunities, exploring diverse cultures, staying informed about developments in various disciplines, building and expanding relationships, learning new skills and so on. The content that you contribute should add value to the TrustedAt community constructively or productively. Together, we can make social media productive for the current and future generations.

If you see something you believe may violate our policies, whether in profiles, posts, messages, comments, or anywhere else, please report it to us. Together with our automated defences, these reports help us identify and prevent abuse. Users can report content by clicking on the three dots icon in the upper right-hand corner of the content itself on TrustedAt. Please use the reporting tools responsibly and only for their intended purposes. Violating content can be removed from TrustedAt, and there is no guarantee even after appeal for reinstatement.

These policies apply to all members. Depending on the severity of the violation, we may limit the visibility of certain content, label it, or remove it entirely. Repeated offences will result in account restriction, although if you believe action taken on your content or your account was in error, you can always appeal to that respect.

Do not post harassing content: We don't allow bullying or harassment. This includes targeted personal attacks, intimidation, shaming, disparagement, and abusive language directed at other members. Do not reveal others' personal or sensitive information or incite others to do the same. You may not engage in repetitive negative content that disrupts other members or conversations on the platform.

**Do not threaten, incite, or promote violence: **We don't allow threatening or inciting violence of any kind. We don't allow individuals or groups that engage in or promote violence, property damage, or organised criminal activity. You may not use TrustedAt to express support for such individuals or groups or to otherwise glorify violence.

Do not share material depicting the exploitation of children: We have zero tolerance for content that depicts the sexual exploitation of children. Do not share, post, transmit, or solicit child exploitation material through or using our platform. Do not use TrustedAt in any way to facilitate, encourage, or engage in the abuse or exploitation of children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the concerned authorities. Additionally, while we recognise that there may be instances where people share images of non-sexualised child nudity with good intentions, we generally remove these images due to the potential of misappropriation and abuse by others.

Do not promote, sell, or attempt to purchase illegal or dangerous goods or services: We don't allow content that facilitates the purchase of illegal or dangerous goods and/or services, prostitution, and escort services. We don't allow content that promotes or distributes fake educational and/or professional certifications, the sale of scraped data, proxy test-taking, or instructions on creating forged official documents. You should not use TrustedAt to hold gambling activities, contests, sweepstakes, or giveaways. Do not use TrustedAt to sensationalise or capitalise on tragic events for commercial purposes.

Do not share content promoting individuals or organisations earmarked for dangerous crimes: We don't allow any terrorist organisations or violent extremist groups on our platform.

Desist from creating fake profiles or falsifying information about yourself or entity: Do not post misleading or deceptive information about yourself, your business, your qualifications, work experience, affiliations, or achievements.

Avoid hate speech and endeavour to be tolerant: We don't allow content that attacks, denigrates, intimidates, dehumanizes, incites, or threatens hatred, violence, prejudicial or discriminatory action against individuals or groups because of their actual or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, political affiliations, age, or disability status. Hate groups are not permitted on TrustedAt. Do not use racial, religious, or other slurs that incite or promote hatred, or any other content intended to create division.

Do not engage in sexual innuendos or unwanted advances: We don't allow unwanted expressions of attraction, desire, requests for romantic relationships, marriage proposals, sexual advances or innuendo, or lewd remarks.

Respond authentically to others' content and don't agree with others ahead of time to like or re-posting content.

We will not prohibit you from making someone's day with a cracker of a joke, generally believed to be fun, rather than intentionally and persistently ridiculing the personality of anyone, be it a Member of TrustedAt or not. We will not prohibit Members from genuinely strengthening their personal relationships without creating any public nuisance. Such personal exchanges are restricted to private chats and are never to be shared for public access.
