This is a translation provided for convenience. In case of conflict, the English version prevails.

UMTUBA exists so ideas can cross borders. That only works if people are safe here.

Violence and dangerous behaviour. No threats, no glorification of violence, no content encouraging self-harm, eating disorders, or dangerous challenges.

Hate. No attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, caste, or immigration status.

Harassment. No targeted abuse, no doxxing, no sharing private images without consent, no coordinated pile-ons.

Adult content. No pornography or sexually explicit material.

Deception. No impersonation, no scams, no manipulated media presented as real, no coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

Illegal goods. No sale of drugs, weapons, counterfeit goods, stolen data, or regulated items without proper authorisation.

Spam. No bulk unsolicited messaging, no engagement farming, no artificial amplification.

Intellectual property. Do not post content you do not have the right to post.
