Guidelines for Eligible Content Recommendation
At Parsafy, our core mission is to empower creators, advocates, and communities with a free-speech-focused AI platform where people can create, share, and connect authentically. We believe in open expression and the right of users to speak freely — including on topics that are political, cultural, or controversial in nature.
While free expression is foundational to Parsafy, it does not mean all content is treated equally in our recommendation systems. The following areas of the platform surface content to broader audiences beyond a creator's direct followers:
- Discovery Feed: Parsafy members can discover recommended content from creators and publishers they may not yet follow.
- Parsafy TV: Members can explore standout video content submitted by our creator community.
For content to receive algorithmic recommendations beyond a creator's existing followers, it must meet additional, elevated standards beyond our baseline Community Guidelines. Content that is harmful, shocking, deceptive, exaggerated, intended to disgust, or in poor taste is not eligible for recommendation, even if it is otherwise permitted on the platform.
We uphold these standards through a combination of proactive moderation using advanced technology and human review, as well as in-app reporting tools that allow members to flag content they find objectionable. Parsafy operates a transparent algorithm — we are committed to giving users clear insight into how content is ranked and surfaced.
We acknowledge the diverse user base on Parsafy, encompassing a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. All Parsafy members are 18 years of age or older. Our guidelines are designed to ensure a safe, high-quality experience for all members while honoring our commitment to free expression. We take into account factors such as location, preferences, and engagement signals when recommending or restricting sensitive content.
These recommendation eligibility guidelines apply universally to all content, regardless of source. Accounts that consistently breach these criteria may face temporary or permanent disqualification from recommendations. Accounts that repeatedly violate our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service may be subject to suspension.
Our media partners adhere to additional guidelines, including standards for accuracy, fact-checking, and appropriate location-based targeting of their content. For a full overview of our safety framework, please visit our Safety Policies.
