Community is the foundation of KLiC. When you sign-up and join our diverse community, you will be interacting with people from all over the globe. In creating a supportive environment in our ever-expanding community, we at KLiC will be committed to implementing and maintaining Community Guidelines that nurture a safe, fun, and welcoming experience.
Our Community Guidelines apply to everyone and everything on KLiC. These guidelines are proactively enforced by using a mix of technology and human moderation. However, we also encourage our community members to report any content or account they believe violates our Community Guidelines.
These guidelines help establish what behavior is acceptable and not acceptable on our platform. This is us making our best effort to set fair and reasonable boundaries. However, we are a new platform and changes to these guidelines will occur as we embark on this journey together and receive your feedback.
KLiC reserves the right to update our Community Guidelines from time to time to evolve alongside new behaviors and risks, in order to keep KLiC a safe place for global interactive experiences for all participants.
General Restrictions:
Kick prohibits activities and material (including live streams, videos, and comments) that:
Bullying and harassment:
KLiC promotes community and individual experiences without fear of abuse. We do not tolerate members of our community being shamed, bullied, or harassed. Abusive content or behavior can cause severe psychological distress and will be removed from our platform.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
Sexual harassment:
Sexual harassment involves unwanted or inappropriate sexual behavior directed at another individual. We do not allow content that glorifies, normalizes or promotes sexual harassment, regardless of the user's intent.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
KLiC has no tolerance for discrimination. We do not permit content that contains hate speech or involves hateful behavior, and we remove it from our platform. We ban accounts and/or users that engage in severe or multiple hate speech violations or that are associated with hate speech off the KLiC platform.
KLiC defines hate speech or behavior as content that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group on the basis of the following protected attributes:
Slurs are defined as derogatory terms that are intended to disparage groups or individuals based on any protected attributes listed above. To minimize the spread of egregiously offensive terms, we remove all slurs from our platform, unless the terms are reappropriated, used self-referentially (i.e., by members of the protected group), or used in a way that does not disparage (e.g., educational context).
Do not upload, stream, or share:
Hateful ideologies are those that demonstrate clear hostility toward people because of their protected attributes. Hateful ideologies are incompatible with the inclusive and supportive community that our platform provides and we remove content that promotes them.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
KLiC takes a firm stance against enabling violence on or off our platform. We do not allow people to use our platform to threaten or incite violence, or to promote violent extremist organizations, individuals, or acts. When there is a threat to public safety or an account is used to promote or glorify off-platform violence, we ban the account. When warranted, we will report threats to relevant legal authorities. To effectively protect our community, we may consider off-platform behavior to identify violent extremist organizations and individuals on our platform. If we find such organizations or individuals, we will ban their accounts.
KLiC considers incitement to violence as advocating for, directing, or encouraging other people to commit violence. We do not allow threats of violence or incitement to violence on our platform that may result in serious physical harm.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
KLiC does not allow organizations or individuals on our platform who promote or engage in violence, including terrorist organizations, organized hate groups, criminal organizations, and other non-state armed groups that target civilians.
Terrorist organizations: Terrorists and terrorist organizations are non-state actors that threaten violence, use violence, and/or commit serious crimes (such as crimes against humanity) against civilian populations in pursuit of political, religious, ethnic, or ideological objectives.
Organized hate groups: We use the term “organized hate” to refer to those individuals and organizations who attack people based on protected attributes, such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, or immigration status. We consider attacks to include actions that incite violence or hatred, that aim to dehumanize individuals or groups, or that embrace a hateful ideology.
Criminal organizations: Criminal organizations are transnational, national, or local groups that have engaged in serious crimes, including violent crimes (e.g., homicide, rape, robbery, assault), trafficking (e.g., human, organ, drug, weapons), kidnapping, financial crimes (e.g., extortion, blackmail, fraud, money laundering), or cybercrime.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
KLiC works to ensure it does not enable activities that violate laws or regulations. We prohibit the trade, sale, promotion, and use of certain regulated goods, as well as the promotion or facilitation of criminal activities. Content may be removed if it relates to activities or goods that are regulated or illegal in the majority of the region or world.
Criminal activities cover a wide spectrum of acts punishable by law, including theft, assault, human exploitation, counterfeiting, and other harmful behavior. To prevent such behavior from being normalized, imitated, or facilitated, we remove content that promotes or enables criminal activities.
Do not upload, stream, or share:
