Comments containing the following will not be allowed:

  • Hate speech

  • Defamation to a person, people, or organization

  • Name-calling and/or personal attacks

  • Spam comments, such as the same comment posted repeatedly on a profile

  • Comments whose main purpose is to sell a product

  • Inappropriate or unrelated links

  • Threats or suggesting committing a criminal act

  • Content or reasoning based on demonstrably false statements and/or inauthentic content or activity

  • Language or content that is potentially harmful, advocates harm and/or incites harm or constitutes a potential threat to public or personal safety
