Our Moderation Principles

     Platforms have the difficult task of deciding what’s on both website and forum while also creating an environment that users can trust. As leaders in this ecosystem, we’ve developed a set of content moderation policies and enforcement mechanisms that guide the kind of content that can be discovered and purchased using our services. 
‍     At a high level, our content moderation policies reflect our position that TAS is a Brand explorer: we want people visiting our platform to experience the broadest possible view of Brands around the world.

     Our goal is to make information and content to make Brands more easily discoverable and accessible.

     Within that framework, our content moderation policies broadly address four general categories of behavior that could negatively impact the people using our service: physical and emotional harm, financial harm, poor user experience, and intellectual property.

     At TAS, we’re committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and inclusive platform through which people can explore and own what moves them. We are still early in our journey as a company and an industry, so we will continue to improve our policies to lead to the best Brand Explorers experience possible.

 

Community Standards

 

Physical and Emotional Harm

Inciting Violence

     TAS’s Inciting Violence policy prohibits content that facilitates, encourages, praises, or supports acts of violence, whether perpetrated by terrorist organizations or a person acting alone. We also prohibit content that reveals private, personally identifiable information (also known as doxxing).

 

Inciting Hate

     TAS’s Inciting Hate policy prohibits praise and support for hate organizations, as well as content that advocates violence against, superiority over, or the nonexistence of a protected group. We also prohibit content that contains hateful stereotypes or slurs. 

 

Sexual Exploitation

     TAS’s Sexual Exploitation policy prohibits content created or distribute. This includes revenge porn, creepshots, upskirt shots, and any other behavior that distributes sexualize.

 

Suicide and Self-Injury

     While TAS is a place for people to express themselves, we don’t allow content that glorifies, encourages, praises, or supports suicide or self-injury.

 

Child Sexual Abuse Material

     TAS has a zero-tolerance policy on content that sexualizes minors, whether it concerns real children or representations. Sexualized content that includes real children will be reported to the Polícia Federal do Brasil.

 

Financial Harm

Scams and Malicious Behavior

     TAS is not a custodian of user funds, but we do prohibit behaviors that could lead to the loss of user funds, such as installed malware, links to unsecured sites, or a failure to deliver what was promised (i.e. rug pull).

 

Fundraising

User Experience

Spam

     TAS’s Spam policy prohibits unsolicited content that is distributed for a commercial/promotional or abusive/malicious purpose.

 

Inorganic Volume

     TAS prohibits efforts to artificially increase sales volume or floor price, such as through coordinated sales between wallets or other manipulative activity. TAS removes collections with inorganic volume from the homepage and, in some instances, bans accounts engaging in the behavior.

 

Intellectual Property

     TAS does not allow content that violates the intellectual property rights of others, including trademark, copyright, and the right of publicity.

     TAS relies on the rightsholder or their legal representatives to submit a valid takedown request.

     For more information about our copyright enforcement, please see our Copyright Help Center article.

 

Actions We Take

     We employ a few different enforcement mechanisms that help uphold our policies and community guidelines across the TAS platform. We do our best to tailor the type of enforcement to the type of harm we perceive:

We can opt to NOT FEATURE AND LIMIT SEARCH DISCOVERY of content that’s not specifically in violation of our policies or guidelines but that we believe may lead to a negative experience on our platform.

For content that violates our policies, but we believe people should still have the opportunity to view on our platform, we can DISABLE the post. In some cases, we may instead not charge the TAS fee so that we are not monetizing this type of content. 

For content that violates our policies, and we believe that even viewing the content may result in harm to users, we can DELIST an item or entirely collection, hiding it and rendering it inaccessible and undiscoverable on TAS.

     

     Because we’re Brand explorers, we prefer to disable violative content and reserve delisting for certain limited situations, discussed below. We believe that we are more like a search engine or web browser than a social media platform, and if we want to be a trusted explorer.

     We delist content if there is a risk of real-world harm or loss or if the law requires us to do so. For example, we have a zero-tolerance policy for CSAM (child sexual abuse material) and delist that content from TAS as soon as possible after we’re made aware of it. Similarly, if we think content was created with the specific intent to deceive (for example, if it is a copy minted work), we act and delist it from TAS.

     It is the case that we will disable, but not delist, some content that people may find deeply offensive or triggering but that does not directly rise to the level of causing real-world harm or loss. If you have feedback about our content moderation decisions, please let us know by reporting content that appears to violate these policies.
