1. What We Consider Harassment
ZoraGram defines harassment as any persistent, unwanted, or malicious behavior aimed at intimidating, humiliating, degrading, or threatening an individual or group. While we support spirited debate and diverse viewpoints, we draw a clear line between robust disagreement and targeted personal abuse.
2. Cyberbullying & Intimidation
Prohibited bullying behaviors include:
- Posting cruel comments, memes, or manipulated photographs intended to mock someone's physical appearance, medical condition, or personal tragedy.
- Coordinated "brigading" or encouraging an audience to mass-comment, spam, or downvote another creator's profile.
- Direct threats of physical violence, rape, bodily harm, or property damage.
- Blackmail or extortion—threatening to reveal private information or media unless demands are met.
3. Doxxing & Non-Consensual Information Sharing
We strictly prohibit "doxxing"—the malicious exposure of private, personal identifiable information without consent. You may not publish or threaten to publish:
- Personal phone numbers, private home addresses, or personal email addresses.
- Government-issued identification numbers, bank account numbers, or tax records.
- School, workplace, or geolocation records intended to enable physical stalking.
4. Direct Messaging & Private Abuse
Direct messaging on ZoraGram is intended for positive 1-on-1 conversations. Sending repetitive unsolicited messages after being asked to stop, sending unwanted sexually explicit photographs, or making threats in private chat is considered a severe violation that will result in immediate account termination.
5. User Protection & Blocking Tools
ZoraGram gives every user autonomous tools to stop harassment immediately:
- Block Account: Blocking an account stops them from viewing your profile, seeing your posts or reels, following you, or initiating direct chats.
- In-App Report: Flag abusive comments or private messages directly to moderation.
- Profile Privacy: You can manage who can comment on your posts or send you message requests through in-app settings.
6. Investigation & Consequences
Accounts engaged in harassment face immediate sanctions ranging from temporary comment bans to permanent account deactivation and device bans. Where criminal threats or physical danger are identified, records are preserved for law enforcement authorities.
