TBC Content Policy

1. At a glance

• Tell stories, don't hurt people. Drama, conflict, and dark themes are welcome; targeted harassment, real-world threats, and content that endangers minors are not.
• Keep it lawful. If it's illegal where you live, it's not allowed on TBC.
• Be honest about what you're posting. Don't impersonate real people; clearly label sensitive or AI-generated content where required.
• Respect other creators. Don't post other people's work as your own. Continuations are encouraged through the in-app continue button — straight reuploads are not.
• We screen uploads. Cliffs are scanned automatically for explicit nudity. Violations can mean removal, account limits, or bans.

2. What this policy covers

This policy applies to every piece of content visible to others on TBC, including:

• Videos you upload as Cliffs.
• Titles, descriptions, and tags you set on a Cliff.
• StoryWorld names, descriptions, and cover art.
• Your username, display name, biography, and profile photo.
• Comments you post on Cliffs.
• Anything you say through a TBC support channel about another user.

Your private notes inside the app, your draft Cliffs, and the content of private StoryWorlds you control are still bound by the strictly prohibited categories below (especially anything illegal or that endangers minors), but the rest of this policy is primarily aimed at content that other users can see.

3. Strictly prohibited

These categories are not permitted anywhere on TBC, in any context, including private StoryWorlds. Violations result in immediate removal, account suspension, and where legally required, reporting to the appropriate authorities.

3.1 Child sexual abuse material and the sexualization of minors

3.2 Real-world violence and threats

• Credible threats of violence against a specific person, group, or place.
• Glorification or celebration of mass violence, terrorism, or violent extremist organizations.
• Footage of real-world violence used to celebrate, promote, or recruit.
• Detailed instructions for building weapons designed to cause mass casualties.

3.3 Sexual content involving non-consent

• Non-consensual sexual content, including non-consensual intimate imagery (sometimes called “revenge porn”) and deepfake pornography of identifiable people.
• Content that depicts or promotes sexual exploitation, trafficking, or coercion.

3.4 Hateful conduct

Content that attacks, dehumanizes, or calls for the exclusion of people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, religion, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious medical condition. Hate symbols and slogans used to celebrate or recruit are also prohibited.

3.5 Targeted harassment

• Repeated unwanted contact, doxing (publishing someone's private information without consent), or coordinated pile-ons against an individual.
• Sexual harassment, including unsolicited sexual content directed at someone.
• Encouraging others to harass or harm a specific person.

3.6 Self-harm and suicide

Content that promotes, glorifies, or provides instructions for suicide, self-injury, or eating disorders. Recovery stories, awareness, and fiction that handles these themes responsibly are allowed and may be age-restricted; content that crosses into promotion is not.

3.7 Illegal goods and dangerous activities

• Sale of illegal drugs, prescription medication without authorization, weapons that cannot lawfully be sold online, stolen goods, or counterfeit items.
• Detailed how-tos for committing fraud, hacking, hijacking accounts, building destructive devices, or other serious criminal activity.

3.8 Spam, scams, and platform manipulation

• Engagement farming through fake accounts, automated reactions, or coordinated inauthentic behavior.
• Buying or selling accounts, follows, reactions, or SMI scores.
• Phishing, financial scams, get-rich-quick schemes, and fake giveaways.
• Mass-posting unrelated or repetitive content to gain attention.

3.9 Impersonation and identity fraud

• Pretending to be a specific real person, brand, or organization in a way that could mislead other users.
• Parody and fan accounts are allowed only if they are clearly labeled as such in the username, display name, and Cliff metadata.

3.10 Malware and security abuse

• Distributing malware, rootkits, key-loggers, or ransomware.
• Exploiting security vulnerabilities in TBC's infrastructure to access content or accounts you are not authorized to access.
• Scraping or programmatically extracting content or output from the Services.

4. Restricted & sensitive content

Some categories are allowed only with appropriate context, labeling, or in appropriately scoped StoryWorlds. We may age-restrict or down-rank content in this section even when it is not removed.

Nudity and sexual content

Explicit nudity (genitalia, breasts/anus exposed) is automatically blocked from public StoryWorlds by our NSFW screen. Artistic, educational, or medical contexts may be permitted by Trust & Safety on appeal.

Graphic violence & gore

Violence is part of storytelling. Highly graphic real-world footage, gratuitous gore, and shock content require labeling and may be age-restricted or removed if they lack narrative context.

Regulated goods & substances

Tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, gambling, and firearms can appear in stories but cannot be promoted, sold, or instructed in ways that target minors or violate local law.

Politically sensitive content

Political speech is welcome. Election misinformation, voter-suppression instructions, and impersonation of officials are not.

Misinformation that causes harm

Health, safety, and emergency-response misinformation that could lead to real-world harm is restricted, even when framed as fiction, if it is presented as factual.

Animal cruelty

Real cruelty against animals for entertainment is prohibited. Hunting, fishing, and documentary footage are allowed in appropriate contexts.

5. Authenticity & AI-generated content

TBC is platform-agnostic about how you create — phone, cinema camera, animation, AI tools, or hybrids. We care about what you publish and whether other users can understand its nature.

• Disclose synthetic media that depicts real people or events. If your Cliff is AI-generated, manipulated, or otherwise synthetic and a viewer could reasonably believe it shows a real person saying or doing something they didn't, label it. Use the “synthetic media” tag in the upload flow.
• No deceptive deepfakes of real people. Synthetic depictions that put words or actions into a real, identifiable person's mouth without their consent are prohibited, especially in sexual, defamatory, or election-related contexts.
• No fabricated breaking news. Don't present synthetic footage as a real event in a way meant to deceive (e.g., fake disaster footage, fake official statements).
• Provenance helps. We may attach AI-generation labels automatically when our pipeline detects synthetic content; you should not strip or misrepresent these labels.

6. Other people's intellectual property

• Don't upload Cliffs that contain music, footage, voices, or art you don't have the right to use.
• Don't reupload another creator's Cliff as if it were your own. To build on someone else's story, use the in-app Continue button — that's exactly what TBC is for.
• Repeat copyright infringers will have their accounts terminated.
• If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on TBC without permission, see the DMCA section of our Terms of Use for how to send a notice to legal@2bc.app.

7. Other people's privacy & likeness

• Don't share someone else's private information (home address, phone number, financial information, government IDs, private medical information) without their consent.
• Don't upload intimate images of someone without their consent.
• Don't film or upload identifiable footage of minors without verifiable permission from a parent or legal guardian.
• If you appear in someone's Cliff and want it removed, contact support@2bc.app with a link and a description; we'll review.

Our content-analysis pipeline produces face-recognition embeddings to track recurring characters within a StoryWorld. Those embeddings are not shared with third parties and are not used to identify real people across StoryWorlds.

8. Comments & profiles

Comments on Cliffs and the text and images on your profile are subject to the same rules as Cliffs themselves. In particular:

• Comments must not be used to harass, dox, threaten, or sexually solicit other users (§3.2, §3.3, §3.5).
• Coordinated comment-spam, copy-paste promotion, and bot-driven engagement are prohibited (§3.8).
• Profile photos that fall under the strictly-prohibited or restricted categories (§3, §4) will be removed; repeat offenders may lose the ability to set a profile photo at all.
• Biographies must not contain hate speech, harassment, or links that send users to malware or fraud.
• Display names and usernames that impersonate a real person, brand, or TBC staff member will be reclaimed.

9. Continuations and remixing

Continuations are TBC's heart. By publishing a Cliff to a public StoryWorld, you allow other creators to continue your story through the in-app Continue control. Continuations:

• Must obey this Content Policy on their own merits.
• Must not pretend to be the original Cliff or claim its creator's identity.
• May criticize or parody the original — that's allowed.
• Must not be used to harass the original creator or to associate their character with prohibited content (e.g., sexual content of someone's clearly-non-sexual character).

If you don't want your Cliff to be continued by anyone, publish it inside a private StoryWorld whose membership you control.

10. StoryWorlds & private spaces

StoryWorlds let you scope a story to a specific audience. Public StoryWorlds appear on the StoryBoard for any user. Private StoryWorlds are visible only to the members of the groups you grant access to.

• Restricted content (§4) and authenticity rules (§5) still apply inside private StoryWorlds.
• Strictly prohibited content (§3) is never allowed, public or private — there is no “safe” corner of TBC for CSAM, real-world threats, or non-consensual intimate imagery.
• StoryWorld owners are responsible for who they invite. Repeated violations inside a StoryWorld can result in the StoryWorld being unpublished or the owner's account suspended.

11. How we enforce

Automated screening

Every Cliff goes through our automated pipeline before it becomes visible. The pipeline currently:

• Runs NSFW screening (NudeNet) and blocks Cliffs that show explicit nudity from publication;
• Generates a transcript so spoken content can be searched and reviewed;
• Extracts scene summaries so reviewers can prioritize.

Cliffs flagged by automation enter a pending state. Approved Cliffs are published to the StoryBoard; rejected Cliffs are not.

Human review

Our Trust & Safety team reviews flagged Cliffs and user reports. Reviewers consider the full context of the Cliff — title, description, transcript, parent Cliff, and the StoryWorld it's posted to.

Possible enforcement actions

• Removal. The Cliff is unpublished from the StoryBoard.
• Age restriction or labeling. The Cliff stays up but is hidden from underage viewers or labeled as sensitive.
• StoryWorld unpublishing. The whole StoryWorld is hidden if violations are repeated.
• Account warnings, feature limits, or suspension. Posting privileges may be paused.
• Permanent ban. For severe or repeat violations, including any §3 violation.
• Reporting to authorities. Where required by law (e.g., CSAM is reported to NCMEC).

12. Reporting violations

If you see something that violates this policy, please tell us. We're building in-app Report and Block controls (required before public app-store launch). Until they're live:

• Email support@2bc.app with a link to the Cliff or screenshot, the rule you think it breaks, and any context that would help us review.
• For child-safety emergencies, mark the email URGENT — child safety. We escalate these immediately.
• For copyright complaints, use the DMCA process instead.
• For privacy concerns (your image, voice, or private information appears in a Cliff), email privacy@2bc.app.

We aim to acknowledge reports within 24 hours and resolve them as quickly as the complexity of the review allows.

13. Appeals

Moderation decisions can be wrong. If we remove a Cliff, label it, or take action on your account and you believe it was a mistake, email support@2bc.app within 30 days of the action. Tell us:

• The username and the Cliff or action you're appealing;
• What you think went wrong;
• Any context you couldn't fit into the original upload.

A different reviewer than the one who made the original decision will look at your appeal. If they agree the decision was wrong, the action is reversed. If they uphold the decision, we'll explain why.

14. Changes to this policy

We update this policy as TBC grows and as we learn more about how stories are being told here. Material changes are announced through our normal channels (in-app notification, the website, or email).
