Why is torture prohibited?

Content Guidelines

At Hidden, we're committed to a safe, supportive, and respectful space for everyone. We strictly prohibit content that depicts or promotes torture in any form, including both physical and psychological torture, which can have severe emotional and real-world consequences.

Why we don't allow it

  • User safety: torture content can trigger distressing reactions, especially for those who have experienced trauma or abuse.
  • Mental and physical harm: content that glorifies or normalizes torture can desensitize people to real-world violence.
  • Legal compliance: many forms of torture content are illegal in multiple jurisdictions, and we uphold the laws that protect people from harm.
  • Community integrity: allowing this content would undermine the safety and trust within our community.

Examples of prohibited content

  • Depictions of physical violence or pain intended to cause suffering.
  • Graphic images or scenes showing harm to people or animals for entertainment.
  • Content that portrays abusive, coercive, or manipulative behavior.
  • Narratives or dialogue promoting or glorifying torture in any form.

What to do next

  • Identify and assess: review your content for scenes, themes, or dialogue that may depict torture or extreme violence.
  • Revise problematic elements: remove or alter anything that could be seen as promoting or glorifying torture, and replace distressing imagery or language with non-violent alternatives.
  • Ensure compliance: revisit our Content Guidelines and Terms of Service before resubmitting.
  • Seek guidance at support@hidden.com if you're unsure whether your content violates our guidelines.
