  2. Rules for Community Member Content

    The Platform maintains basic rules with respect to Community Member Content. All Community Members are required to adhere to these rules. The following acts/content are strictly prohibited, and no Community Member may post or broadcast these on the Platform or solicit any other Community Member to post or broadcast the same.

    1. Obscenity. For the purpose of this provision, obscene materials include without limitation any actual or simulated scatological, rape, incestual (and depictions of incest), child pornography (or any depiction of child pornography), bestiality, and other actions or materials which may be deemed obscene or illegal in your community.
    2. Depictions of actual or simulated illegal and unsafe actions, including, but not limited to: violence, blood, torture, cutting, extreme blood restriction, pain, asphyxiation, fisting, rape themes, or any actions associated with causing physical or emotional harm. Illegal drugs (or drugs that may be perceived as illegal in certain locations, such as medicinal marijuana) are strictly prohibited.
    3. Community Members may not broadcast, upload, or offer any content referencing or depicting menstruation, vomit, feces, or urine.
    4. Community Members may not broadcast, upload, or offer any content referencing or depicting "bukkake" or "goatse" (also called "gaping").
    5. Overly large sex toys or animal-shaped sex toys may not be used on camera, and objects may not be used as sex toys unless they are normally marketed and sold for that purpose. Email support@chaturbate.com for authorization and provide a detailed proposal to incorporate any type of mechanical device, tool, "sex machine" or other unusual equipment into your performance (whether controlled by you or controlled remotely by Community Members). We may require you to sign a waiver and release of liability in order to use certain devices on the Platform, and any authorization or permission we give to you may be revoked by us at any time and for any reason, without notice, in our sole and absolute discretion.
    6. CSAM of any type and depictions of minors (actual or simulated) on the Platform and in any Community Member Content are strictly prohibited. There can be no actual or simulated minors, children, babies or unauthorized persons on camera or in the same room. This limitation includes but is not limited to the offering, role play (whether by clothing, make-up, image filters, artificial intelligence or otherwise), and/or discussion of minors. In the event of a breach of this rule, we will immediately report you to NCMEC and any and all law enforcement that we consider appropriate in our sole and absolute discretion.
    7. Content may only contain Independent Broadcasters who are clearly recognizable as the Independent Broadcasters associated with the account sharing the Content.
    8. Performing while intoxicated, whether from alcohol or drugs (prescription, legal or illegal), is strictly prohibited.
    9. Offensive and/or degrading conduct such as the use of degrading or verbally abusive dialog or offensive roleplay such as ethnic or racial roleplay.
    10. Sleeping on camera (whether real or acting/pretending) is not permitted.
    11. Independent Broadcasters may not broadcast from any public place, or from a studio or set that creates the impression that the Independent Broadcaster is in a public place. This prohibition includes, by way of example only, public areas such as beaches, hiking trails, changing rooms, or public restrooms. Independent Broadcasters may not broadcast from public or public appearing locations unless they are on private property with the owner's consent, and in an area not visible from any neighboring property. Independent Broadcasters may be required to provide documentation or images to demonstrate that a public appearing location is not actually public.
    12. Live streaming or broadcasting recorded content (or any other type of non-interactive content) is not permitted. You may only share recorded video through your bio/profile page. Independent Broadcasters may, upon concept review by our support team, utilize cartoons, avatars, and other interactive digitally created images provided that such cartoons, avatars, or images comply with this Code of Conduct as well as the Terms.

    These lists are not exclusive, and we may, at any time, prohibit any activity that we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, to be inappropriate. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, for engaging in any inappropriate activity.
