Safety Pledge
ASBL SQWEER’s safety pledge is a public promise to build queer social spaces where safety, dignity, privacy and transparency matter more than growth hacks or exploitative monetization.
These pages were rewritten for ASBL SQWEER to preserve the full policy scope, practical detail and user protections, without copying third-party text.
Languages
1. No home for hate or harassment
- We keep strong rules against threats, harassment, hate, misinformation and abusive manipulation.
- User reports must trigger meaningful review, not decorative buttons.
2. Transparent moderation
- Moderation rules should be visible and understandable.
- Appeals should involve humans and accountability when staff or systems get it wrong.
3. Anti-fraud and security by default
- Fraud, spam, bots and account abuse should be actively detected and limited.
- Security vulnerabilities should be fixed quickly and handled responsibly.
4. Physical safety first
- Approximate location and anti-triangulation measures are default design choices.
- Users should always be able to reduce or disable visibility if a region feels unsafe.
5. Health and well-being matter
- Health education, testing reminders and non-stigmatizing support tools should remain user-centered and optional.
- Sqweer should collaborate with trusted health information where possible.
6. Authenticity without overexposure
- Verification and video chat should help people establish trust without forcing invasive identity disclosure.
- Privacy-preserving authenticity tools are preferable to blunt surveillance patterns.
7. Personal data protection and user control
- We protect personal data, limit collection and keep privacy controls accessible.
- Users should be able to request copies of their data and delete their accounts more easily.
8. Responsible technology and AI
- Algorithms and AI must be assessed for bias and harm against queer and other vulnerable communities.
- Human review should stay central for nuanced moderation decisions.
9. Resistance to improper surveillance
- Overly broad data requests should be resisted where legally possible.
- Users should be informed when their data is sought, except where law forbids notice.
10. No monetization from hostile actors
- We should not depend on partners whose incentives actively harm queer people.
- Revenue choices must not compromise the community’s safety and dignity.
