(Applicable to registered users and individuals utilizing the MAYogu application)
MAYogu is a group-based platform where individuals participate in communities with shared interests to exchange content, experiences, and perspectives.
Content on MAYogu is visible exclusively to users who have actively joined a specific group. Each group functions as a shared communal space, which can be configured in either public or private mode. However, in all scenarios, users must join the group to view and interact with the content. This mechanism ensures that MAYogu remains a clearly contextualized, consensus-based environment, fostering a higher sense of safety compared to mass-distribution public platforms.
By joining a group on MAYogu, Users acknowledge that they are entering the shared space of a specific community, where everyone possesses the right to share and carries the concurrent responsibility to respect others and the group's specific context.
These Community Principles & Standards are established to:
The fact that a group is configured in private mode does not exempt its content from MAYogu’s fundamental safety standards. In any space, MAYogu consistently aims to protect individuals, mitigate harm, and maintain an environment of mutual respect.
These Community Principles serve as the foundational framework guiding how MAYogu develops its Community Standards and executes enforcement decisions across diverse scenarios. The Principles are designed to strike a balance between encouraging sharing within groups and the responsibility to safeguard the safety, respect, and trust of the community.
In exceptional circumstances, MAYogu will adjust the application of these standards to promptly protect the community and address newly emerging threats. All decisions shall be rendered based on these Community Principles.
The MAYogu Community Standards are established to operationalize the Community Principles, thereby defining how MAYogu evaluates and handles content and behaviors arising during user participation and interaction on the platform. These Standards serve as a practical reference framework, converting principles and orientations into enforceable regulations.
The Community Standards apply uniformly to all users and groups on MAYogu, including both public and private groups. The restriction of content visibility to a group's scope does not alter the general requirements regarding safety, respect, and community order established by MAYogu platform-wide.
The Community Standards categorize content and behaviors into specific groups, reflecting diverse types of risks and impacts on the community. Depending on the nature and severity of the impact, MAYogu will institute various enforcement actions, such as removing content, restricting visibility, or reviewing within the appropriate context.
The Community Standards form the basis for MAYogu to deploy and execute content moderation policies, combining manual review with automated support systems. Moderation decisions are made based on the Community Principles and Standards, alongside the specific context of each case, to ensure consistency and appropriateness. The enforcement of these standards is conducted in a spirit of goodwill, weighing the context and prioritizing a free, positive user experience, provided it causes no harm to the community.
This section governs behaviors with the potential to cause direct harm, or content and actions that generate an unsafe environment for individuals and the community.
Violent or criminal acts inflict severe harm on the physical, mental, and emotional safety of individuals and the community, while disrupting the collective experience within groups. Consequently, MAYogu prohibits content or behaviors associated with violence and crime on the platform.
Content evaluation is performed based on context, the specificity of the act, the targeted entities, and potential inherent risks, rather than solely on the external presentation of the content.
MAYogu reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion, to share user information with competent State authorities upon detecting acts that pose a direct threat to human life or physical integrity. This provision does not create any legal liability for MAYogu to monitor or report all cases, unless otherwise mandated by applicable law.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific instances, MAYogu may permit content related to violence or crime when such content does not intend to advocate or encourage harm, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to carry a risk of negative impact on viewers or incompatibility with the group community's context.
Hate speech and hostile behaviors dehumanize individuals, generating feelings of intimidation or isolation. Therefore, MAYogu prohibits content or behaviors that promote hatred, hostility, or discrimination on the platform.
Under these Community Standards, "hate speech and hostile behavior" is defined as content or actions that attack, demean, threaten, or promote hatred against individuals or groups based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, health status, disability, or similar characteristics recognized by law and international human rights frameworks.
This scope encompasses both direct and indirect expressions, such as utilizing derogatory language, calling for exclusion, or justifying discrimination. Content evaluation relies not merely on isolated words but examines the overall context, intent, targeted audience, and the risk of harm to the community.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In certain circumstances, MAYogu may permit content involving hate speech or hostile behavior when the intent is not to promote hatred, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to pose a risk of negative impact, misunderstanding, or incompatibility with the group community's context.
Advocating, supporting, or promoting violent and hostile organizations or individuals can escalate the risk of severe real-world harm, disrupt public order, and diminish users' sense of safety. Therefore, MAYogu prohibits content or behaviors related to glorifying, assisting, or facilitating violent and hostile organizations and individuals on the platform.
Under these Community Standards, "violent and hostile organizations and individuals" are defined as entities, factions, or persons that advocate, promote, or engage in acts of violence, terrorism, extremism, or activities aimed at causing severe harm to humans, communities, or social order. This scope includes widely recognized real-world entities, as well as indirect expressions aiming to glorify, normalize, or legitimize their actions.
Content evaluation is based not only on referenced names or symbols but also weighs the intent, context of use, level of advocacy, and risk of negative influence on the community.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific instances, MAYogu may permit content referencing violent or hostile organizations or individuals without the intent of advocacy, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative influence.
MAYogu aims to foster environments where individuals can interact and share without facing attacks, humiliation, or coercion from others. Consequently, MAYogu prohibits any form of harassment or bullying under any circumstance.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In certain circumstances, MAYogu may permit content containing elements of criticism or debate when such content does not intend to harass or bully, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to carry a risk of negative impact, misunderstanding, or incompatibility with the group community's context.
MAYogu strictly prohibits all forms of sexual or physical abuse, including advocating, justifying, or normalizing acts that violate physical integrity and human safety.
Under these Community Standards, "sexual and physical abuse" refers to behaviors or content involving the use of violence, coercion, threats, or exploitation of power differentials to violate the bodily autonomy, safety, or self-determination of others, regardless of whether the act occurs in reality or is described, advocated, or recreated through content.
The scope of application encompasses acts targeting both adults and children. Content involving children is subject to rigorous protection standards enforced under specific clauses in the Child Protection section of these Standards.
Content evaluation hinges on the core nature of the described behavior, the degree of coercion or violence, the impacted victims, and the inherent risk of harm, independent of presentation styles or cited motives.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In limited instances, MAYogu may permit content related to sexual or physical abuse when it does not intend to advocate or normalize the behavior, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on viewers.
This section regulates content, themes, and behaviors capable of impacting mental health or personal and collective safety, ensuring that sharing spaces on MAYogu do not become vectors for spreading or normalizing high-risk actions. MAYogu acknowledges that users may share diverse experiences, emotions, or perspectives, including content related to psychological difficulties or life challenges. However, behaviors or content carrying risks of severe harm, generating contagion effects, or escalating real-world risks will be subject to necessary standards and limitations.
MAYogu focuses on building communities where people can share and connect without being exposed to content that threatens mental health or human life, and without serving as an environment that propagates or normalizes self-harming behaviors.
Under these Community Standards, "suicide and self-harm" content refers to text, imagery, or behaviors involving intentional self-inflicted harm, including but not limited to calling for, encouraging, instructing, describing, or normalizing suicide, self-inflicted pain, or analogous actions.
The scope encompasses both direct and indirect expressions, as well as content capable of inducing contagion or copycat effects, particularly within a group community where personal experiences exercise a powerful psychological influence on peers.
Content evaluation is driven by the specificity, intent, affected audience, and potential underlying risks, rather than merely superficial presentation.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific scenarios, MAYogu may permit content involving suicide or self-harm when it does not intend to advocate or normalize, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on viewers.
MAYogu aims to build communities where individuals can connect without being subjected to harmful body standards or eating behaviors, ensuring the platform does not advocate tendencies that undermine physical and psychological health.
Under these Community Standards, behaviors and content causing "eating disorders and negative body image" refer to content or actions that advocate, encourage, or normalize dangerous eating habits, alongside content promoting negative, obsessive, or unhealthy body perceptions.
This scope includes direct and indirect content capable of generating psychological pressure, particularly on vulnerable demographics.
Content evaluation relies on the degree of advocating harmful behavior, the mode of body image presentation, the sharing context, and the risk of contagion within the community, irrespective of cited subjective intentions.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In certain circumstances, MAYogu may permit content related to eating disorders or body image without the intent of promoting harm, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu prohibits high-risk behaviors that could result in real-world injuries or severe consequences, particularly when such acts are propagated under the guise of challenges, viral trends, or entertainment.
Under these Community Standards, "dangerous challenges and high-risk behavior" refer to content or actions performed by non-professionals that present clear risks to the physical safety of others.
Prohibited acts are not restricted to explicitly named challenges but encompass trends, movements, or behaviors presented in a manner that falsely implies they are safe or worth attempting.
Content evaluation is executed based on the inherent risk level of the act, the likelihood of imitation, the sharing context, and the scope of community impact, independent of cited entertainment or fictional intents.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific instances, MAYogu may permit content involving high-risk actions when not intending to encourage or normalize, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu prohibits content acting as a vector for extreme negative emotions or generating psychological pressure that degrades the mental well-being and general quality of shared life within group communities.
Under these Community Standards, "content degrading community mental health" refers to content or behaviors that propagate extreme negative emotions, capable of adversely affecting the psychological state of other group members. This scope encompasses indirect content that fosters feelings of despair, self-doubt, anxiety, or loss of motivation when repeatedly amplified within closed group spaces.
Content evaluation centers on the repetitive nature, the degree of dominance over the group space, the sharing context, and the cumulative impact on the community, rather than examining isolated pieces of content in a vacuum.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In certain circumstances, MAYogu may permit content sharing negative emotions without intending to spread or amplify harmful impacts, such as:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or risking widespread negative impacts.
MAYogu aims to create communities where users can share psychological difficulties and seek support in good faith, rather than treating these personal experiences as behaviors to be suppressed or excluded.
Under these Community Standards, content sharing psychological difficulties refers to expressions of emotional states, mental pressure, or personal experiences intended for connection, listening, or seeking community support. These contents are fundamentally non-harmful but can generate varying impacts based on execution style and group context.
Content evaluation focuses on the sharing purpose and community impact, rather than merely flag-marking the mention of negative emotions.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
MAYogu encourages and permits content sharing psychological difficulties when the content:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
This section regulates content and themes with sensitive visual or linguistic attributes to ensure shared content on MAYogu aligns with the platform's baseline audience access parameters. MAYogu encourages free sharing across diverse content profiles, spanning all-age friendly spaces to mature themes. However, behaviors causing discomfort, offense, or degrading the general user experience will be subject to necessary standards.
MAYogu prohibits behaviors and content of a sexual or suggestive nature displayed publicly, offensively, or exceeding an appropriate context, particularly within environments housing diverse groups and demographics.
Under these Community Standards, "sexual and suggestive content" refers to content depicting, implying, or evoking sexual acts, including suggestive language, imagery, or presentation formats.
The scope focuses on presentation style, contextual elements (biography, hashtags, captions, and audio), and the capability to impact the general experience, rather than banning the core educational topic itself.
Content evaluation considers the public nature, presentation style, and degree of sexual suggestion, regardless of whether the content is uploaded to a public or private group.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific scenarios, MAYogu may permit content within:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu is dedicated to maintaining an environment where users can interact without being subjected to unwanted sexual solicitation, provocation, or pressure. Such interactions, even if not explicitly public or violent, cause discomfort, undermine safety, and degrade the user experience.
Under these Community Standards, "solicitation and unwanted sexual interaction" are defined as behaviors or content involving sexual invitations, flirtation, or innuendos directed at another individual without prior explicit consent or against the recipient's wishes.
The scope extends beyond public acts to encompass one-on-one group interactions when the content causes discomfort, annoyance, or diminishes the recipient's sense of safety.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
MAYogu values user self-expression; however, such content must not exceed boundaries appropriate for the general platform access context. Nudity or body exposure displayed in an exhibitionist or sexually provocative manner causes discomfort or offense, affecting the shared collective experience.
Under these Community Standards, "nudity and body exposure" refer to displaying all or partial body elements typically concealed under prevailing cultural norms, spanning images, videos, illustrations, or presentations designed to extract attention.

Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu aims to maintain an environment where users can access content without being unnecessarily subjected to shocking, graphic, or offensive material. Such content, even if devoid of structural violence or abuse, can negatively affect the collective experience if presented out of context.
Under these Community Standards, "shocking, graphic, or offensive content" refers to material capable of inducing psychological distress, horror, or severe discomfort due to its visual presentation, descriptions, or staging. Evaluation centers on impact severity, presentation style, and display context, rather than the abstract topic.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In limited instances, MAYogu permits:
Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu prohibits content or behaviors that advocate, depict, or normalize cruelty, infliction of pain, or unnecessary harm toward animals. Such content causes public offense, incites negative behavior, and compromises community standards.
Evaluation focuses on harm severity, intent of presentation, and potential to incite negative real-world actions, applied uniformly regardless of whether the animal is a domestic pet or wildlife.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific scenarios, MAYogu permits:

MAYogu is exclusively for users aged 13 or older (or 16 and above depending on specific domestic digital service age bars—tailored per MAYogu's target design specification). MAYogu is not engineered for children and lacks features or protection mechanisms designed for users under 16.
Users under 16 are prohibited from creating or operating accounts on MAYogu, including accounts managed through proxies, shared accounts, or falsifying age details to bypass platform restrictions.
During operations, MAYogu may deploy necessary verification mechanisms to identify and resolve underage accounts. Upon detecting violations, MAYogu may institute one or more of the following measures:
MAYogu permits users to report suspected underage accounts. Reports are evaluated based on available data and context to ensure platform compliance. These enforcement actions preserve MAYogu within its designed scope.
MAYogu prohibits any content related to the abuse, exploitation, or sexualization of children on the platform. This content profile is subject to an absolute ban, regardless of intent, formatting, or context.
This scope governs all formats on MAYogu, including fictional creations, illustrations, AI-generated content, or edited/composite works derived from other sources.
Evaluation operates independent of direct real-world impact, focusing on content nature and inherent risk. Violations trigger immediate content removal, account termination, and reporting to competent law enforcement authorities as mandated by law.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:

The fact that personal information has previously appeared publicly elsewhere does not waive its restricted status on MAYogu.
To preclude fraudulent acts and identity confusion, MAYogu prohibits masking, swapping, or exploiting another entity's identity to forge false trust, manipulate engagement, or deceive the community.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
MAYogu prohibits hacking, misappropriating, or interfering with another user's account, alongside exploiting authorized access to execute harmful acts.

Such content will be evaluated for visibility restrictions or appropriate measures if determined to be incompatible with the group community's context or carrying a risk of negative impact on others.
MAYogu permits authorized paid content functions and revenue-sharing mechanisms for eligible users. However, these features must not be exploited to execute fraud, manipulate capital flows, or conceal illicit operations. Platform transactions must comply with prevailing financial laws and MAYogu’s operational guidelines.
Under these Community Standards, "financial activities and platform transactions" refer to payment mechanisms executed via In-App Purchases (IAP), internal currency conversions (e.g., Xu, Gỗ), revenue accumulation, and payouts handled through partner payment processors.
This scope covers direct and indirect behaviors designed to distort payment mechanisms, posing fraud or compliance risks. Evaluation tracks transaction anomalies, account behavior models, and structural exploitation profiles.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
MAYogu is built for genuine interactions within group communities. This section sets standards to prevent platform exploitation for distributing unwanted materials, manipulating metrics, or disrupting system operations, thereby preserving backend infrastructure safety.
These rules target behavioral execution styles, frequencies, and intents, rather than judging content quality from an ideological standpoint.
MAYogu focuses on sustaining interactions reflecting organic user interest. The platform prohibits actions designed to simulate artificial engagement, visibility, or traffic routing to dilute valid discussions.
Spam degrades user experience and threatens platform processing capacities.
Under these Community Standards, "spam" refers to repetitive, mass-distributed, or coerced interactions executed outside normal engagement patterns to inflate views, replies, or redirect users to unintended destinations.
This clause covers posts, comments, direct messages, hyperlinks, or multi-account coordination aimed at identical targets.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
In specific scenarios, MAYogu permits:
MAYogu operates on specialized technical infrastructure ensuring stability and access security. MAYogu prohibits any attempt to breach, interfere with, harvest from, or disrupt system modules, regardless of whether immediate damage occurs.
Security breaches threaten system infrastructure and compromise user data safety.
Under these Community Standards, "breaching platform security and integrity" refers to unauthorized access, technical interference, or exploiting system bugs to harvest user records, alter operational code, bypass safety scripts, or cause service degradation.
This applies to all technical endpoints, spanning applications, web domains, APIs, automated scrapers, third-party plug-ins, or engineering overrides.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:
MAYogu respects and protects the legal intellectual property (IP) rights of creators and organizations, encouraging lawful content production. Users retain sole legal liability ensuring their uploads do not violate third-party IP rights.
The following behaviors and content are unacceptable, including but not limited to:

MAYogu permits content that is:
MAYogu enforces these Community Standards utilizing multi-layered moderation frameworks combining automated screening filters, user reports, and expert human moderation to secure community safety.
In exceptional circumstances, MAYogu may preserve technical policy violations if the content serves distinct public interests, such as educational enrichment, journalistic record-keeping, medical documentation, academic critique, or satire. This public interest exception never applies to high-harm profiles, including child exploitation materials, severe graphic violence, or structural human abuse.
Enforcement remedies span content removal, visibility throttling, feature restrictions, or permanent account banishment based on severity metrics. Processing workflows follow guidelines detailed in the MAYogu Content Moderation Policy.
Users may submit formal appeals regarding specific enforcement actions under mechanisms provided in the Content Moderation Policy. Appeals are processed within reasonable periods; however, filing an appeal does not guarantee reversal. Final administrative discretion rests exclusively with MAYogu.
MAYogu reserves the right to update or modify these Community Standards periodically to address system scaling and newly emerging digital threats. Ongoing updates will consistently align with the core Community Principles published herein.
