The Platform recognizes the freedom of expression. The Members of PoliticAll and their contents are precious and a core part of the Platform.
1. Guiding Principles
In order to promote a high quality political exchange on the Platform PoliticAll adopts this Code of Conduct with validity on all Members and their contents, in any form ("Content").
The Members of PoliticAll shall be guided by the following principles:
- Be responsible in publication of your Contents, set quality before quantity.
- Do not harass, defame, threaten, intimidate, stalk and/or bully other Member(s) and/or employees of PoliticAll.
- Do not publish any Content(s) infringing personality rights, including but not limited to publishing publicly or privately the personal information or contact details (e.g. email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, photos or videos) of our employees and/or other PoliticAll Member(s) without their permission.
- Do not publish Content(s) prohibited by the applicable criminal laws including but not limited to pornography, statements against personal honor (willful defamation, slander, verbal abuses) and/or cruel acts of violence against human beings or animals violating elementary dignity
- If publishing Content(s) dealing with race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation a good instinct is required. Try to use common sense and objective arguments. Respect distinctiveness. Swiss law limits freedom of expression to the extent the Content(s) victimize and/or defame an individual or a group of individuals for any reason including race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Hence, it is forbidden to call for hatred against such individuals or group of individuals nor organize propaganda activities with the same aim.
- Do not publish any Content(s) in violation of any intellectual property rights (e.g. copyrights, ownership rights, trademark rights, license rights).
- Do not publish Content(s) that could be considered 'junk mail', 'spam', 'chain letters', 'pyramid schemes', 'affiliate marketing' and/or unsolicited commercial advertisement.
- Do not set up additional or alternative accounts on PoliticAll to use (or allow others to use) to do anything prohibited by, contrary to, or not in the spirit of this Code of Conduct.
- Do not use the platform PoliticAll without having reached the minimum age of 16 years. Do not use the identity of someone else to avoid the required minimum age.
- Comply with the General Terms and Conditions of PoliticAll and with all applicable laws.
