Community Guidelines

Millions of young people are using Yubo every day to just join in, hangout and talk. Our users are diverse and come from all around the world, so to continue building a positive and welcoming community we feel it’s important to have some rules and guidelines in place to ensure that everyone uses the service as safely as possible, and has a positive and respectful experience on Yubo. We may take a number of steps, including sending a warning, removing the content, or blocking the accounts responsible.

We have rules that may seem stricter than other social media apps but that’s because we want to keep you as safe as possible on the service.

Self-injury and Suicide

We understand at Yubo that some young people are facing and dealing with some difficult issues in their everyday lives, and want to meet and share some of these challenges. But it’s important to have a Yubo community that promotes safety and wellness, which is why it’s not OK to show content that promotes eating disorders and other forms of self-injury such as cutting. Any encouragement of others to participate in these behaviors or make fun of people with such difficulties will result in the content being removed and the accounts banned.

Sexual Exploitation of Minors

Sexual content involving minors is illegal. You should never share, save, screenshot or send nude or sexual content to anyone who is under 18 years old. Even if the content involves yourself. You also shouldn’t ask minors to send sexual content to you. Any child sexual exploitation will be reported directly to the police.

Ban Evasion

Attempting to get around or bypass suspensions, bans, or locked accounts by any means is not allowed. Any attempt may result in further suspensions of increased durations, or even a permanent ban from the app.

Enforcement

We take any rules broken seriously. The actions we will take against content and behavior that breaks our guidelines depends on the rules broken and the severity. We will carefully look into each case to determine the action required.
