Fanblast Content Guidelines

Last Updated: May 20, 2024

FANBLAST strives to maintain a safe and brand-friendly environment for creators and fans to engage together. Help us foster this community by following our Terms of Service as well as the following guidelines.

Follow the law.

FANBLAST is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organized crime, or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms, alcohol, and tobacco products between private individuals, and buying or selling non-medical or pharmaceutical drugs are also not allowed. We also remove content that attempts to trade, co-ordinate the trade of, donate, gift, or ask for non-medical drugs, as well as content that either admits to personal use (unless in the recovery context) or coordinates or promotes the use of non-medical drugs. FANBLAST also prohibits the sale of live animals between private individuals, though brick-and-mortar stores may offer these sales. No one may coordinate poaching or selling of endangered species or their parts. Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods. Accounts promoting online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries must get our prior written permission before using any of our products. We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others.

Refrain from posting harmful/sensitive content.

Do not post content that promotes illegal activities (such as promoting counterfeit goods, or materials for faking drug tests). Do not post content that promotes using any endangered or threatened animal species (such as ivory) or human remains. Do not impersonate other individuals or spread misleading information through deep-fake tools, voice-cloning software or other similar AI-enabled technologies. Do not share or post sensitive personal data or proprietary information.

‍Share only photos and videos that you’ve taken or have the right to share.

As always, you own the content you post on FANBLAST. Remember to post authentic content, and don’t post anything you’ve copied or collected from the Internet that you don’t have the right to post.

Post photos and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience.

People like to share photos or videos of their children. For safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images that show nude or partially-nude children. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used by others in unanticipated ways.

Foster meaningful and genuine interactions.

Help us stay spam-free by not artificially collecting Fans, posting repetitive content (including comments), or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent. Don’t offer money or giveaways of money in exchange for Fans, comments or other engagement. Don’t post content that engages in, promotes, encourages, facilitates, or admits to the offering, solicitation or trade of fake and misleading user reviews or ratings. You don’t have to use your real name on FANBLAST, but we do require FANBLAST users to provide us with accurate and up to date information. Don't impersonate others and don't create accounts for the purpose of violating our guidelines or misleading others.

Respect other members of the FANBLAST community.

We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains credible threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages. We do generally allow stronger conversation around people who are featured in the news or have a large public audience due to their profession or chosen activities. It's never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases. When hate speech is being shared to challenge it or to raise awareness, we may allow it. In those instances, we ask that you express your intent clearly. Serious threats of harm to public and personal safety aren't allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible.

‍Maintain our supportive environment by not glorifying self-injury.

The FANBLAST community cares for each other and is often a place where people facing difficult issues such as eating disorders, cutting, or other kinds of self-injury come together to create awareness or find support. Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to our environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us. We may also remove content identifying victims or survivors of self-injury if the content targets them for attack or humor.

Be thoughtful when posting newsworthy events.

We understand that many people use FANBLAST to share important and newsworthy events. Some of these issues can involve graphic images. Because so many different people and age groups use FANBLAST, we may remove videos of intense, graphic violence to make sure FANBLAST stays appropriate for everyone. We understand that people often share this kind of content to condemn, raise awareness or educate. If you do share content for these reasons, we encourage you to caption your photo with a warning about graphic violence. Sharing graphic images for sadistic pleasure or to glorify violence is never allowed.

Help us keep the community strong:

Each of us is an important part of the FANBLAST community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please report this to us at info@digitalblast.com. We have a team that reviews these reports and works as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. Even if you or someone you know doesn’t have an FANBLAST account, you can still file a report. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines.

You may find content that you don’t like, but doesn’t violate our guidelines. If that happens, you can unsubscribe to (as a fan) or block (as a creator) the person who posted it. If there's something you don't like in a comment on one of your posts (as a creator), you can delete that comment.

Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If one of your photos or videos was posted by someone else, you could try commenting on the post and asking the person to take it down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a copyright report. If you believe someone is violating your trademark, you can file a trademark report. Don't target the person who posted it by posting screenshots and drawing attention to the situation because that may be classified as harassment.

We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
