At VoicePally, we believe in fostering a community that values both free expression and respect for others. As an audio-driven platform, we understand the challenges associated with moderating spoken content. However, we are committed to creating a safe, abuse-free environment while upholding the principles of free speech. To this end, we provide users with several tools to control the content they see and report any inappropriate behavior they may encounter.

1. Blocking Other Users

VoicePally allows users to exercise control over the content they see by using the block feature. If you come across a user whose voices you find offensive, disruptive, or inappropriate, you can block that user. The block feature provides the following protections:

• No Access to Voices: Once you block a user, their voices will no longer appear in your feed. Similarly, they will no longer be able to see or access your voices.
• Mutual Invisibility: The blocked user will not be able to access your account, send private voices, or view any of your profile information. The same applies to you, ensuring a complete break between you and the blocked user.

This feature is designed to give you control over your experience on VoicePally, allowing you to curate the type of content and interactions you engage with on the platform.

2. Reporting Harmful or Offensive Content

In addition to blocking, VoicePally offers a reporting feature that enables users to flag content they believe violates our community guidelines. If you encounter audio posts or users that are abusive, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate, you can report them. Our reporting process is simple and effective:

• Report Voices: If a specific voice contains offensive, abusive, or harmful material, you can report it for review.
• Report Pallies: You can also report entire user accounts if their behavior consistently violates community standards, including harassment, hate speech, or abuse.

Our moderation team will review all reports, and appropriate action will be taken, which may include content removal, warnings, or account suspension for violating users.

3. Commitment to Free Speech

We recognize that VoicePally is a platform for diverse expression and opinions, and we remain committed to upholding the principles of free speech. However, this does not mean that harmful or abusive content will be tolerated. Our approach balances the protection of free expression with the need to maintain a safe, respectful environment for all users. While we do not censor content purely based on differing viewpoints, we actively remove content that:

• Incites violence or hate
• Harasses, threatens, or abuses others
• Violates privacy or discloses sensitive personal information
• Promotes harmful or illegal activities

4. User Responsibility

While we provide tools to block and report content, we also encourage users to be responsible in their interactions on VoicePally. You are in control of the content you engage with, and your actions contribute to creating a positive community. If you encounter inappropriate content, we encourage you to use the block and report features to take swift action.

5. Content Moderation and Transparency

VoicePally is committed to transparency in how we handle reported content. We will notify users about actions taken based on reports, such as whether a post was removed or if a user received a warning. Our goal is to maintain a balance between open expression and a safe community, ensuring everyone feels comfortable using our platform.

With these features, we ensure that users have the tools they need to control the content they see and contribute to a community that promotes healthy interactions. If you encounter any issues with content or have concerns about user behavior, please don’t hesitate to contact us at privacy@voicepally.com.
