4. Graphic Violence

Do not post content containing or encouraging violence, self-harm, or cruelty towards people or animals.

5. Adult Content

Do not post content containing nudity, pornography, or any other type of content intended to be explicitly sexually suggestive.

6. Speech

Do not take part in targeting an individual or group with slurs or violent language based on their race, religion, or sexual orientation. We strongly recommend this because City Lights is about meaningful connections.

7. Harassment / Bullying

Do not bully or harass other users in anyway.

8. Threats / Violence

Do not threaten to harm a person, a group of people, or someone’s property.

9. False Information

10. Terrorism

Terrorist organizations are forbidden to use City Lights and there is no tolerance for content that advocates or promotes terrorism.

11. Illegal Activity

Do not use City Lights for any illegal activities.

12. Reporting

We rely on users to alert us to unsuitable content. Tap the options icon on any post, comment or profile and select “Report” to tell us why it’s inappropriate. We will then investigate and take action if appropriate to do so. As City Lights grows we will be increasingly investing in better tools to make this system much more robust.

13. Political Content

Do not use City Lights for any political promotion of any kind.
