The Constitution.
Version 1 · 25 September 2026
This page is the complete list of reasons Plarv may remove a post, limit its reach, or restrict an account. If a reason is not written here, it is not a reason.
Nobody at Plarv removes anything because they disagree with it, dislike it, or find it uncomfortable. Every action we take cites a numbered paragraph below, and you can always see which one.
Each World may add its own rules on top of this page. Those rules apply only inside that World, are published where its members can read them, and can never allow anything this page forbids.
How a notice reads
Removed under the Constitution, § 3.1, Non-consensual intimate imagery.
§ 3.1 means Section 3, Paragraph 1. Every notice links to the exact paragraph.
Section 1
Children
Zero tolerance. Everything in this section is removed on sight and the account is closed permanently.
§ 1.1
Child sexual abuse material
Any image, video, drawing, text or AI-generated material that sexualises a minor. It is removed, the account is terminated, and the material is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the relevant authorities, as the law requires.
§ 1.2
Sexualising minors
Sexual comments about minors, sexualised depictions of minors, and content that presents minors as sexual objects, including fictional or computer-generated minors.
§ 1.3
Grooming and solicitation
Contacting a minor to build a sexual relationship, asking a minor for images, or arranging to meet a minor for sexual purposes.
§ 1.4
Accounts under 16
Plarv is for people aged 16 and over. An account that belongs to someone under 16 is closed and its personal data deleted.
Section 2
Violence and terrorism
Plarv does not decide who is right in a war or in a dispute between countries. This section judges acts, not sides: the same paragraph applies whoever does it.
§ 2.1
Terrorist and violent extremist content
Recruitment, propaganda, fundraising or praise for organisations on the United Nations Security Council Consolidated List, or on a list the law requires us to follow; and for attacks that deliberately target civilians in order to terrorise a population or force a government to act, as described in UN Security Council Resolution 1566. Reporting on them, documenting them, and criticising them is allowed. Supporting one side in a war between countries is not, on its own, covered by this paragraph.
§ 2.2
Threats
A credible threat to kill, injure or seriously harm a specific person or group.
§ 2.3
Incitement
Calling on others to commit violence against a person or group.
§ 2.4
Attack footage and glorification
Footage or livestreams produced by the perpetrator of a mass-casualty attack, and content that celebrates such an attack or its perpetrator.
§ 2.5
Instructions for mass harm
Instructions for making explosives, or chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons, or for carrying out an attack.
§ 2.6
Self-harm and suicide
Content that encourages or instructs suicide, self-harm or eating disorders. Talking about your own experience, recovery, or asking for help is allowed, and we show support resources alongside it.
Section 3
Sexual content and exploitation
§ 3.1
Non-consensual intimate imagery
Sharing, or threatening to share, intimate images of a person without their consent, including images that are faked, edited or AI-generated.
§ 3.2
Sexual exploitation and trafficking
Content that facilitates sex trafficking, sexual extortion, or the sale of sexual services.
§ 3.3
Pornography
Explicit sexual activity and pornographic content.
§ 3.4
Nudity that is not sexual
Nudity in art, breastfeeding, medical and health contexts, education and protest is allowed. It may carry a sensitive-content label so people can choose whether to view it.
Section 4
Attacks on people
This section protects people. It does not protect ideas, beliefs, institutions or public figures from criticism.
§ 4.1
Targeted harassment
Repeated unwanted contact, organising others to pile on a person, or following a person from one World into another in order to target them.
§ 4.2
Doxxing
Publishing someone's private information, such as a home address, private phone number, identity documents or financial details, without their consent.
§ 4.3
Hate against people
Dehumanising people, calling for their exclusion, or calling for violence against them because of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion or lack of religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or serious illness. Criticising a religion, an ideology or a belief is not an attack on people and is allowed.
Section 5
Deception and illegal trade
§ 5.1
Scams and fraud
Phishing, fraudulent offers, fake giveaways, and schemes to take money or data under false pretences.
§ 5.2
Impersonation
Pretending to be a real person or organisation in a way that misleads people. Clearly labelled parody and commentary are allowed.
§ 5.3
Fake activity
Networks of fake or automated accounts, and bought or traded interactions, used to mislead people or the ranking.
§ 5.4
Illegal goods and services
Selling or arranging the sale of illegal drugs, weapons, stolen data, counterfeit documents, or human beings.
§ 5.5
Malware
Links or files that install malicious software or take over accounts.
§ 5.6
Content illegal where it is seen
Content that a court or competent authority has found unlawful in a country. It is restricted in that country only, and the notice names the order.
§ 5.7
Promoting drug use
Content that praises or glamorises using illegal drugs, encourages others to use them, or shows how to get or make them. Documentaries, journalism, education, personal stories, recovery and harm-reduction information may name any drug plainly and show what it does.
Section 6
Other people's work
§ 6.1
Copyright
Content that infringes someone else's copyright, handled under our DMCA Policy. Making your own version of a post on Plarv is allowed; re-uploading someone else's work as your own is not.
Section 7
What we can do
The action fits the harm. A first, minor problem gets the lightest step that works. The most serious ones in Sections 1 to 3 go straight to removal.
§ 7.1
Label
The post stays, with a note that lets people choose whether to see it.
§ 7.2
Limited reach
The post stays for people who follow that World, but it is not shown in discovery. You are always told when this happens, and for how long.
§ 7.3
Removal
The post is taken down.
§ 7.4
Account restriction
Posting or messaging is paused for a set time.
§ 7.5
Termination
The account is closed permanently. Used for Section 1, § 2.1, § 2.4, § 3.1, § 3.2, and for repeated serious violations.
Section 8
Notices and appeals
§ 8.1
You are always told
Every action comes with a notice: what was affected, which paragraph it falls under, how long it lasts, and how to appeal. There are no silent penalties. The only exception is when the law, or an investigation into harm to a child or an imminent threat to life, requires us to wait before telling you.
§ 8.2
Appeals
You can appeal any decision about your content or account for six months after the notice. A person who did not make the original decision reviews it, and you get an answer with reasons.
§ 8.3
When we are wrong
If an appeal shows we were wrong, the post is restored with its full reach and the action is removed from your record.
§ 8.4
Reporting
Anyone can report a post in the app. Reports about children and threats to life are handled before everything else. A report alone never removes anything; a paragraph of this page has to apply.
Section 9
What is never a reason
None of these, on their own, is grounds for any action. Plarv is built for people who disagree with each other.
- § 9.1Religious faith, and the absence of it. A post about loving Jesus and a post saying there is no God are both welcome.
- § 9.2Political opinions of any side.
- § 9.3Criticism of governments, companies, public figures, and Plarv itself.
- § 9.4Opinions that are unpopular, uncomfortable or offensive, as long as they break no paragraph above.
- § 9.5Who you are and whom you love.
- § 9.6Being wrong. We do not remove content because we believe it is mistaken.
- § 9.7A word on its own. Naming a drug, a weapon, a crime, a disease or a terrorist group is never enough for any action. Nobody has to write “co...” to talk about cocaine.
- § 9.8Documenting a subject is not endorsing it. Journalism, documentaries, education, history, research, health information, recovery stories, art and fiction may name, show and describe hard subjects, including drugs, war, crime, terrorism, abuse and suicide. We ask one question: what is the post doing? Informing, warning, documenting, questioning or telling a story is protected. Praising, instructing, recruiting or selling is not, whatever the post calls itself. A graphic scene may carry a sensitive-content label, never a removal for that reason alone. Three limits hold even here: Section 1 material is never allowed, a perpetrator’s attack footage (§ 2.4) may be described but not rebroadcast, and instructions for mass harm (§ 2.5) are never allowed.
Section 10
Changes to this page
§ 10.1
Notice before change
We post any change on this page, and show it once in the app, at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless the law requires it sooner. We do not send an email for each change. Every version stays readable here with its date.
§ 10.2
Never backwards
A new paragraph never applies to something posted before it took effect.
§ 10.3
Numbers are permanent
A paragraph number, once published, always means the same rule. Retired paragraphs keep their number and are marked as retired.
