We want people to speak freely on our system. But if you misuse that freedom and abuse others, we will take the liberty of cutting that discussion short. Do not use our system to commit a crime, or to help commit a crime. This system may not be used to aid dealing in illegal drugs, illegal gambling, prostitution, child pornography, robbery, spreading computer viruses, cracking into private computer systems, software infringement, trafficking in telephone or credit card codes, or any other crimes. The First Amendment guarantees your freedom of speech, and we strongly support it.
People sometimes have trouble figuring out whether certain activities are illegal online.
It's usually not that hard. Using an online system to commit a crime does not make it less of a crime. In fact, if you use an online communications system to commit a crime, you're exposing the operators of the system, and its other customers, to legal risks that should be yours alone. If you genuinely do not know whether something you'd like to do is legal or illegal, please discuss it with us before you proceed. And if we tell you we do not want you to pursue your plans on our system, please respect our decision.
