Povi Community Guidelines

Effective Date: July 22nd, 2026

Last Modified: July 22nd, 2026


Welcome to Povi!

We’re thrilled to have you as part of our community. We’re providing the place for real people to talk, debate, and connect across political lines.

Povi is designed as a dedicated platform for entertaining, engaging, insightful, and respectful political discussions. It’s a space where individuals from diverse political viewpoints can come together to exchange ideas, explore different perspectives, and foster meaningful conversations. Our core mission is to elevate political discourse by emphasizing transparency, genuine engagement, and constructive dialogue that helps everyone learn and grow.

These Community Guidelines (referred to as "Guidelines") complement our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The Terms of Use outline the legal framework, including specific prohibitions, enforcement mechanisms, and intellectual property rules. The Privacy Policy explains how we handle and safeguard your data. These Guidelines are incorporated into our Terms of Use and are binding on everyone who uses Povi. If you are a Creator who has signed a Creator Agreement, these Guidelines apply to you as described in that agreement, and in the event of any conflict, your Creator Agreement and the Terms of Use control.

We may revise these Guidelines from time to time. Material changes are announced in advance and take effect as described in the "Changes to these Terms" section of our Terms of Use, which also governs updates to these Guidelines. Continued use of Povi after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Guidelines.

Principles We All Share

Whether you’re watching, chatting, or hosting a stream, these values guide everything we do:

  • Engage in Good Faith: Focus on ideas, not identities. Approach every conversation with curiosity, humility, and honesty. Being able to assume that others are acting in good faith helps us learn and grow from each other.
  • Advance the Discussion: Add your voice through chat, comments, reactions, or streams. Every thoughtful contribution moves the dialogue forward.
  • Build a Welcoming Space: Respect everyone’s right to speak, even when you strongly disagree. Tough topics are welcome here; let’s handle them in a way that maintains our open community feel.

These are goals we all share.

Platform Neutrality and Moderation Principles

Povi is committed to maintaining a neutral stance on political matters. We do not endorse, promote, or favor any specific views, parties, candidates, or ideologies. Our moderation processes aim to apply these Guidelines consistently and without favoritism toward any political viewpoint. If you believe a moderation action reflects political bias, you can raise that concern through the appeal process described in these Guidelines (see "Notice System and Appeals" below), where an appeal is available for the action at issue. We review appeals reasonably and in good faith.

Embracing Civility and Respectful Dialogue on Povi

The foundation of Povi resides in its active user community. From specialized groups established by streamers and their audiences to the broader Povi ecosystem, the platform flourishes through shared engagement in political issues. In addition to the rules outlined in our Terms of Use, the guidelines below define acceptable and prohibited conduct across the entire platform, including livestreams, videos, discussions, chats, comments, private messages, and user profiles. Violations may result in measures such as content removal, deactivation of monetization features (if available), warnings, account suspensions, or account terminations. Should an enforcement action appear to have been applied in error, review may be available through the appeal process described in these Guidelines. Content Notices issued to Creator channels are reviewed on appeal by our politically balanced review panel.

We view these Guidelines as dynamic, and we collaborate with our creators, and our community to refine them.

Guidelines for All Users

All users, viewers, moderators, and creators, should assist us by reporting non-compliant content or behavior. We review reports as promptly as reasonably possible.

Everyone who watches, chats, comments, or interacts is part of our community. To keep discourse productive, we must require that you, as a Povi community member, refrain from:

  • Threats, harassment, doxxing, or targeted abuse.
  • Spam, scams, or unsolicited commercial messages.
  • Explicit sexual content or nudity.
  • Content that promotes illegal activity, terrorism, or violence.
  • Impersonating others, creating fake profiles, or misrepresenting your identity or affiliations.
  • Persistently spreading demonstrably false information in a manner likely to cause real-world harm, or making knowingly or recklessly false statements of fact about identifiable individuals (see "False Information" below).
  • Accessing the platform through unauthorized automated means such as bots or scrapers. (Automated tools that Povi provides or expressly approves are permitted.)

All activity must comply with our Terms of Use, which contain the full list of prohibited conduct. Beyond these basic rules, we encourage positive participation. Share your well-researched opinions, question assumptions politely, and contribute to discussions that deepen understanding. If you’re new, observe ongoing discussions to gauge the tone and context before jumping in.

We’d love it if you’d spread the word about Povi to others who are looking for civil political discourse to help us build an active and engaged political community. Promoting the platform through social shares or invitations to like-minded individuals, strengthens our mission.

Fostering Authenticity and Integrity

Authenticity is key to meaningful political exchange. Deceptive practices that undermine trust or manipulate experiences are not tolerated. This includes actions that disrupt platform operations or harm user devices.

For instance, you must refrain from:

  • Flooding chats with repetitive messages or false reports.
  • Pushing unauthorized promotions or ads.
  • Attempting to phish for data, distribute harmful software, or spread viruses.
  • Misleading others through fraud.
  • Manipulating metrics like viewer counts or follows artificially.
  • Trading or distributing accounts, features, or services.
  • Exploiting reward systems unfairly.
  • Using or deploying unauthorized bots or automated tools on the platform.

We recognize that external attacks, like unauthorized account access or bot-driven inflation, can occur. In such cases, we will investigate and take appropriate action to protect innocent users.

Links and Other Platforms

We want Povi to be your home for political streaming, and we know your presence and the wider political conversation extend beyond it. Here’s where the lines are:

Always fine:

  • Linking to your own profiles on social or text-based platforms that don’t compete with Povi’s core live-streaming and video features (for example, X, Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, or your newsletter or podcast).
  • Sharing, discussing, or reacting to individual pieces of content from anywhere (including videos from YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, or Kick) as part of political commentary or discussion. Commentary on content is the heart of Povi.
  • A neutral listing of your own channels and profiles, including on competing video or live-streaming services, in your Povi bio or channel page.

Not allowed without our prior written consent:

  • Promoting or directing your audience to your own or others’ channels on competing video or live-streaming services (for example, YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, or Kick) in order to move audience engagement off Povi.
  • Using Povi to move Subscriptions, Paid Interactive Features, or other monetized interactions to external services, or to solicit off-platform payments that circumvent Povi’s monetization systems.

The difference is pattern and purpose: reacting to a YouTube video is commentary; ending your streams with "follow me on YouTube, that’s where I really post" is audience steering. The platform examples above are illustrative, and we may update them in these Guidelines from time to time.

Additional User Standards

To foster a constructive environment for political discussions, we prohibit behaviors including:

  • Violence and Threats: Acts or threats of violence, including attempts to hack, dox, DDoS, or SWAT others, are zero-tolerance violations. This includes encouraging others to harm individuals or groups. In cases of imminent danger, we may act preemptively based on risk assessments considering influence and history.
  • Terrorism and Violent Extremism: Do not depict, glorify, encourage, or support terrorism or violent extremist acts, including by sharing propaganda materials. Limited excerpts of such material may be shared solely for news reporting, education, analysis, or condemnation, provided the framing is clearly editorial, the material is not presented approvingly, and graphic content is minimized or obscured.
  • Graphic Real-World Violence: Real-world footage depicting death, severe injury, or gore may be shared only in a news, educational, or documentary context, must not be glorified or celebrated, and must carry a clear viewer warning (and, where available, a sensitivity or age gate). Gratuitous gore, content celebrating a real person’s death or injury, and footage shared to shock rather than inform are prohibited. Perpetrator-produced footage of attacks may not be shared in any context. This rule applies the same way regardless of whose cause the depicted violence appears to help or harm.
  • Sexual Materials: Posting, sharing, promoting, or generating any sexual materials, including nudity or sexually suggestive materials is prohibited. Good-faith, non-explicit discussion of sexuality-related policy, legislation, health, or education in the context of political and civic discourse is not prohibited by this rule.
  • Youth Safety: Content endangering minors under 18, including grooming, exploitation, or sharing explicit material, is forbidden and will be reported to authorities. This extends to any sexualized portrayals, even fictional, or jokes implying underage involvement.
  • Self-Destructive Behavior: Do not glorify, promote, or encourage self-harm, including misuse of substances, dangerous stunts, or sharing graphic details of suicide attempts. Discussions of mental health struggles are allowed. Harmful challenges tied to rewards, purchase goals (such as HeroChat or HeroTake targets), or other incentives are banned. Resources for those in crisis are available in the Support Resources section below.
  • Unauthorized Sharing of Private Information: Do not share personally identifiable information (e.g., addresses, financial details) without consent. Soliciting such data in ways that could endanger safety is prohibited.
  • Off-Service Conduct: Severe off-platform conduct may result in enforcement, as further defined in our Terms of Use. This includes deadly violence, terrorist activities, explicit and credible threats of mass violence, and leadership of, knowing membership in, or material support or recruitment for organizations that engage in or advocate violence or serious criminal activity, or whose core doctrine calls for the inherent inferiority or subordination of, or the denial of equal legal or civil rights to, any class of persons. See "Organization Affiliations" below for how we make these determinations.

Organization Affiliations

Our Terms of Use restrict leadership of, knowing membership in, and material support or recruitment for certain organizations — those that (i) engage in, advocate, plan, or provide material support for violence or other serious criminal activity, or (ii) have as a core tenet or stated objective the inherent inferiority or subordination of, or the denial of equal legal or civil rights to, any class of persons. When we apply this rule:

  • We make these determinations ourselves, based on the organization’s own statements, doctrine, and conduct. We do not defer to or import third-party lists, designations, or ratings from any source, on any side.
  • Advocacy for changes in law or policy through lawful means does not, by itself, bring an organization within this rule.
  • This rule is about affiliation (leadership, knowing membership, material support, recruitment), not about opinions. Expressing, discussing, or debating any political viewpoint is judged only under the content rules in these Guidelines, not under this rule.
  • Enforcement against a Creator channel under this rule is issued through the Notice System described below and may be appealed to the review panel. Account-level actions against other users may be appealed as described in "Notice System and Appeals."

False Information

Povi is a platform for argument, not an arbiter of truth. Opinions, predictions, interpretations, satire, hyperbole, and one-sided advocacy, however wrong anyone believes them to be, do not violate this rule. We enforce it only where all three of the following are met:

  • Demonstrably false: The statement is a factual claim (not an opinion, prediction, or characterization) that is contradicted by clear, objective, and generally available evidence. Contested claims, matters of ongoing scientific or political debate, and claims that are merely unsubstantiated do not qualify.
  • Persistent: The account has continued to share the same or substantially similar false claims after we have specifically identified those claims to the account through a warning or Content Notice. Isolated statements are not persistent.
  • Likely to cause real-world harm: The claims create a serious risk of physical harm, interference with civic processes (see "Civic Integrity"), significant financial harm to identifiable people (see "Market Integrity and Trading Disclosure"), or comparable concrete harm. Being offensive, disputed, or reported in volume is not real-world harm.

Two kinds of falsehood may be enforced on a first instance, without the persistence requirement:

  • False statements about real people: knowingly or recklessly false statements of fact about identifiable individuals.
  • Fabricated evidence: presenting fabricated material as authentic, such as invented quotes, forged or doctored documents or screenshots, fake polls or statistics, or undisclosed synthetic media (see the AI and Deepfake Disclosure rule). You may argue any position on Povi; you may not manufacture evidence for it.

What about unsubstantiated claims? A claim that lacks evidence is not the same as a claim proven false, and we do not moderate claims solely for being unsourced or unproven. Doing so would put us in the business of grading the evidence behind every contested political argument, which is precisely what a neutral platform must not do. The remedy for a weak claim on Povi is scrutiny: challenge it in chat, rebut it on stream, make the better argument. Claims that cross into demonstrable falsity, false statements about real people, fabricated evidence, election- logistics falsehoods, or market manipulation are handled under this section and the other rules in these Guidelines.

How this is enforced: On Creator channels, enforcement runs through the Notice System: a warning or Content Notice will identify the specific statements at issue and the basis for the determination, and Content Notices are appealable to the review panel like any other Notice. For everyone else, we may remove individual messages, comments, or posts that meet the standards above, and accounts that continue posting the same or substantially similar claims after removals may be suspended or terminated (see "Notice System and Appeals" for account-action appeals).

Content that presents demonstrably false factual claims as fact may also be made ineligible for monetization or reduced in recommendations, even where the persistence and real-world-harm elements are not met (see "Monetization Standards"). Eligibility decisions under this sentence are not Content Notices or Strikes.

Civic Integrity

Povi supports informed civic engagement but prohibits conduct that interferes with democratic processes. Do not:

  • Share demonstrably false information about voting logistics, such as when, where, or how to vote or register, who is eligible, ballot deadlines, or the officially certified results of an election; or
  • Incite or coordinate unlawful conduct directed at elections, such as intimidating voters or disrupting polling places or vote counting.

Opinions, predictions, advocacy, and commentary about elections, candidates, parties, and the fairness of political processes, however heated, do not violate this rule. Enforcement under this rule is limited to demonstrably false statements of procedural fact and unlawful calls to action. It follows the procedures in "False Information" above, except that no persistence requirement applies: voting-logistics falsehoods may be enforced on a first instance.

Povi may apply heightened moderation during major elections or civic events, with notice to users where practicable, to maintain platform integrity. We of course encourage civic content, as long as it complies with these Guidelines.

Political fundraising through Povi features is prohibited; see "Monetization Standards" below for the details.

Civility and Respect Standards

Civility ensures wide-ranging views can coexist and be productively discussed, encouraging open dialogue and respect for opposing views. Povi is committed to fostering an environment where diverse political perspectives, debates, and ideas can thrive without descending into toxicity. We encourage open dialogue on tough topics, but we cannot permit conduct that crosses into hate, discrimination, targeted harassment, or incitement to harm. Allowing such behavior unchecked would undermine community safety and erode the trust that makes open dialogue across political lines possible. Content and conduct on Povi must comply with applicable law, and we may restrict the availability of particular content or features where the law requires.

To maintain this environment of mutual respect, we prohibit behaviors that undermine civility. This includes the following:

  • Hateful Conduct: Do not promote discrimination, harassment, or violence based on protected characteristics (e.g., race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status). This includes slurs, hateful symbols, and dehumanizing stereotypes. Context matters: quotation, reporting, reclaimed usage, artistic works, self-deprecation, and true parody may be evaluated differently.
  • Harassment: Avoid repeated personal attacks, inciting abuse, brigading, or malicious contact. Streamers must mitigate harassment in their channels using available tools. Examples include repeated insults or using deepfakes to degrade or harm others.

Guidelines for Creators

Creators are the heart of Povi; you bring the conversations to life and set the tone for your audiences. You have extra tools (and responsibility) to help shape the community. In addition to the shared principles and user guidelines above, we ask you to:

  • Host Transparently: Be upfront about your sources, biases, and any personal interests connected to your content. Transparency builds credibility and helps viewers engage more thoughtfully. We strongly encourage you to describe your general political perspective on your channel page. It’s central to our mission, and audiences reward it. Two disclosures are required: (1) if you operate your channel on behalf of, or at the direction of, a political campaign, committee, party, government body, advocacy organization, media outlet, or other organization, you must accurately disclose that affiliation on your channel; and (2) if your content is funded or sponsored by a PAC, advocacy group, or other sponsor, you must disclose it in your bio and in the descriptions of the relevant streams or videos. See also "Market Integrity and Trading Disclosure" below.
  • Elevate the Dialogue: Utilize well-sourced insights in your content, encourage audience participation, and aim for depth and nuance as much as possible. Label opinion-based segments clearly to distinguish them from factual reporting.
  • Promote Community Growth: Collaborate with other creators, invite guests, and tell your friends! Our community on Povi is truly everything, and we work hard to keep it active and engaged, so lend us a hand here. Encourage inclusive events like cross-ideology panels.

Additional Creator Rules

  • Relevant Content: Your streams and content must be at least tangentially political or news-related. Content designed purely to shock or outrage, without meaningful contribution to political discussion, may be made ineligible for monetization or reduced in recommendations (see "Monetization Standards" below); it is treated as a Guidelines violation only where it independently breaks another rule (for example, harassment or incitement).
  • Your Live Chat: You (or your designated moderators) are primarily responsible for your live chat. Use timeouts, mutes, and other available tools to cultivate the environment you want. We strongly suggest designating at least one moderator on your channel. Creators can enable privacy modes for chats (e.g., requiring verified accounts) to protect sensitive discussions.
  • Your Channel-Specific Rules: We encourage you to set and share your own channel-specific rules through your channel settings. We try to empower our creators as much as possible; you are welcome to enforce stricter community rules than the platform minimum guidelines.
  • Attire and Presentation: Avoid nudity or any sexually explicit attire/content in streams. Beyond that, dress in a way that suits your style and the conversation. We trust you to keep it appropriate for a public political audience.
  • Games, Videogames, Third-Party Websites: Games, videogames, or third-party websites involving extreme violence, nudity, or gambling (e.g., slots, roulette, casino-style games) may not be streamed or linked. This includes Adults Only rated titles or those with violative elements. Gambling or adult-content promotions, even free versions, are prohibited. Prediction markets are not gambling for purposes of these Guidelines: discussing, displaying, or holding positions in prediction markets is permitted, subject to "Market Integrity and Trading Disclosure" below.
  • Tags and Categories: Use accurate tags and categories; prohibited content includes hateful symbols, sexual descriptions, or vulgarity. Abuse of tags can lead to suspensions.
  • Account Usernames and Display Names: Usernames must not include references to violence, hate, harassment, drugs, sexual acts, or impersonation. Violations may result in resets or suspensions. Resets allow name changes without full bans, but repeated issues will be escalated.
  • Clips and Reacts of Your Content: Other users may create clips and short video reactions ("Reacts") featuring your content. If you want a specific clip or React of your content removed, you can request removal at any time through the in-product Report flow (select "This is a clip or React of my content") or by emailing Hello@Povi.tv.
  • AI and Deepfake Disclosure: If your content includes AI-generated, synthetic, or manipulated media (e.g., deepfakes, voice cloning, or altered images/videos) related to political figures, events, or topics, you must include a clear and conspicuous disclosure (e.g., on-screen label or verbal note) stating it’s AI-created in your description or within the content itself. This helps maintain trust in discussions. Presenting AI-generated or manipulated media as authentic is prohibited regardless of any disclosure made elsewhere. Clearly labeled satire and parody are permitted.

Authenticity for Creators

  • Impersonation: Do not impersonate individuals, organizations, or Povi staff. Factors like bios and reports from affected parties will guide our enforcement here.
  • Spam, Scams, and Malicious Conduct: Do not disrupt services or engage in phishing, malware, view-botting, or cheating rewards systems. Collaboration tools should not be abused for metric inflation.
  • Suspension Evasion: Do not circumvent suspensions using alternate accounts or feature suspended users as guests. Incidental appearances of suspended users in uncontrolled settings are acceptable if not promoted or labeled as such.
  • Content Labeling: Accurately categorize your content to match its focus, aiding discoverability and compliance.

Monetization Standards

Monetization on Povi (Subscriptions, HeroChats, HeroTakes, and any other paid features) is tied to good standing. The mechanics of payouts, revenue shares, and holds are governed by your Creator Agreement; the eligibility rules below govern what can be monetized.

To use and keep monetization features, you must:

  • Remain in compliance with these Guidelines, the Terms of Use, and your Creator Agreement, and maintain accurate payout, tax, and identity information;
  • Not monetize content that violates these Guidelines, and not artificially inflate or manipulate metrics or monetization (view-botting, fake engagement, self-dealing purchases, or similar); and
  • Comply with all applicable campaign finance and election laws in connection with any monetization feature.

Content that doesn’t violate these Guidelines may still be ineligible for monetization or reduced in recommendations, for example, content designed purely to shock or outrage without meaningful contribution to political discussion, or content consisting primarily of unlabeled synthetic media. Demonetization is an eligibility decision, not a penalty: it is not a Content Notice or Strike unless the content independently violates these Guidelines.

Political fundraising. Povi’s paid features are not a vehicle for political contributions. You may not use HeroChats, HeroTakes, Subscriptions, or any other Povi feature, or, on or through the Platform or in connection with your Povi channel or content, your own personal payment accounts (Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, crypto wallets, or similar), to solicit, collect, or relay contributions to any candidate, campaign, committee, party, or ballot-measure effort. Purchases on Povi support a creator’s content; they are not political donations and may never be framed as such. You may direct viewers to the official, publicly registered fundraising page of a candidate or committee (for example, an official campaign donation page), provided you clearly identify where the link goes, comply with all disclaimer and disclosure requirements under applicable law, and never route or accept such funds through Povi or your own accounts.

We take this very seriously. Violations of this section may result in demonetization, withholding or reversal of amounts derived from the violating activity, Content Notices, or account action, as provided in the Terms of Use and your Creator Agreement.

Market Integrity and Trading Disclosure

Political content moves markets, and that’s fine. Good-faith political advocacy, commentary, analysis, and opinion are never violations of this section, even when they influence market prices. This section regulates conduct (positions, trades, coordination, and disclosure), not viewpoints.

Disclosure (Creators). If a market is a primary subject of your content, you must disclose any material position you hold in it.

  • A market is a "primary subject" when it is featured in your title or thumbnail or is a substantial focus of the stream or video. Passing mentions don’t trigger disclosure.
  • A position is "material" when its size or nature could reasonably bear on how you present the topic. Any position of $1,000 or more (measured across related contracts or instruments) is presumptively material. This applies to prediction markets, securities, commodities, digital assets (including crypto tokens and memecoins), and similar instruments alike.
  • How to disclose: a clear verbal or on-screen disclosure at the first substantial discussion, or a standing disclosure in the stream or video description. Either is sufficient; both are encouraged. Something as simple as "Disclosure: I hold a position in this market" meets the requirement.

Disclosing a position never makes the content itself a violation. This rule is about transparency not about whether you may hold positions or share your views on them.

Prohibited conduct (everyone). Regardless of disclosure, no user or Creator may:

  • Knowingly publish false information for the purpose of moving a market price;
  • Coordinate trading activity with the publication of content for deceptive purposes; or
  • Trade on material non-public information about your own upcoming content, announcements, or platform events. For example, quietly building a position before releasing content you know is likely to move a market, timed to profit from that release.

Examples. Arguing for months that a candidate will win while holding a disclosed position that they will win: fine. Streaming your prediction-market portfolio and explaining your reasoning: fine, that’s disclosure in action. Publishing a fabricated "leaked poll" to spike a market you hold: prohibited. Teasing that tomorrow’s stream will "end a campaign" while loading up on the relevant market tonight: prohibited. Promoting a politically themed memecoin or token while holding an undisclosed position in it: violates the disclosure rule, and hyping it with claims you know are false is prohibited manipulation.

Enforcement. We do not actively monitor anyone’s trading activity. Enforcement under this section is based on reports and information reasonably available to us, and runs through the Notice System with the same appeal rights as any other Notice. Deception-based market manipulation is also a Serious Conduct Violation under Creator Agreements and may result in immediate action as provided there and in the Terms of Use.

Notice System and Appeals

We take a graduated approach to content moderation anchored in transparency and non-partisanship.

Content Notices (Creator channels): Content Notices are issued on individual livestreams, recordings, videos, or clips on a Creator channel that violate these Guidelines. A Notice identifies the content at issue and the rule it violates. You may appeal any Notice within 7 days of issuance to our politically balanced review panel, which will issue a final determination within 14 days of your appeal in the ordinary course (this period may be extended where we reasonably need additional information or evidence, and we’ll let you know if more time is needed).

Strikes: A Notice becomes a Content Strike if it is not appealed within 7 days, or if the panel upholds it on appeal. Strikes remain on your channel for 90 days from issuance. If your channel accrues 3 Strikes, it will be suspended for at least 30 days, and permanent termination is possible for particularly serious or repeated violations. We reserve the right to take immediate action, including suspension or termination, before 3 Strikes are reached where a violation is particularly egregious or poses a serious risk to the community, other users, or the integrity of the platform.

The review panel: Appeals of Content Notices are decided by a review panel that includes at least one left-leaning member, one right-leaning member, and one independent or centrist member (in each case as designated by Povi based on panelists’ self-identification), or as close to that composition as reasonably practicable where a panelist is unavailable or recused. Panelists are selected for their commitment to applying these Guidelines impartially, regardless of their personal politics; panel members may include Povi personnel, and membership may change over time. Decisions are made by majority vote. We will endeavor to explain the evidence considered and the outcome of each appeal, and we publish anonymized quarterly statistics on appeal outcomes (such as uphold and reverse rates), beginning after our first full calendar quarter of operation.

Appeals for everyone else: The Notice System applies to Creator channels. If you are not a Creator, you may appeal an account suspension or termination by emailing Hello@Povi.tv with any evidence or explanation you would like considered; such appeals are reviewed in good faith, and decisions are final. Other enforcement actions, such as removal of an individual comment or chat message, are not separately appealable.

Copyright: Copyright Notices are separate from Content Notices and are governed by our Copyright/DMCA Policy, including its counter-notice process. Copyright strikes accrue on your channel for 60 days after issuance, and 3 final copyright claims (where no counter-notice is submitted, or a counter-notice is unsuccessful) will result in permanent account termination in accordance with that policy. Strike expiration does not limit our right to terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances as required by law.

Please see our Terms of Use and Copyright/DMCA Policy for full details, including our rights to act.

A Final Note

Povi is a politically neutral space by design. We don’t endorse any views, candidates, or the opinions shared on the platform.

We’re simply providing the place for real people to talk, debate, and connect across political lines. For details on how we collect, use, and protect your data, see our Privacy Policy.

Thank you for helping us build this amazing community and powering our movement to meaningfully improve the political conversation. Your adherence to these guidelines ensures Povi remains a beacon for discourse.
