Impact of Our Subscription Model
Our subscription model is designed to make it difficult for users to share or distribute hate speech, discriminatory, or threatening content:
- Verified Identity: To post or subscribe to content on Megirlnextdoor, all users must pass strict identity verification checks. Unlike many other digital platforms, this means we know the legal identity of all users, which reduces anonymity and the likelihood of harmful content being shared.
- No Anonymity: Since our users are not anonymous and we do not use end-to-end encryption, our community is less likely to engage in creating or distributing hate speech or threatening material.
- Prevention of Virality: Our subscription model also minimizes the risk of harmful content going viral.
Detection and Prevention
We take multiple steps to monitor and remove content that violates our policies:
- No End-to-End Encryption: Everything on our platform, including direct messages, is visible to our team of trained reviewers. There are no hidden posts or secret areas.
- Continuous Monitoring: Our platform is continuously scanned to prevent the posting of content that violates our policies. We investigate all reports of suspected hate speech, discrimination, or threats.
- Community Reporting: Users are encouraged to report suspicious or harmful content using the report button available on every post, message, image, and video. This helps us quickly identify and remove violations.
Responsive Action
When we identify or receive reports of suspected hate speech, discrimination, or threatening behavior, we act promptly:
- Immediate Removal: Suspected content is immediately removed from public view.
- Investigation: We investigate the reported content thoroughly.
- Consequences: If a violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy is confirmed, appropriate actions are taken. These may include issuing warnings, suspending accounts, or permanently banning users from our platform.
