COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Community and Content Guidelines

This page has been machine translated for convenience only. If there is any discrepancy between the Chinese, English and Italian versions, the Chinese version prevails.

We hope that every public profile will make that first step between strangers safer, clearer, and more flexible.

Can be published

Skills you'd like to share, types of activities you enjoy, general activity areas (not specific locations), and a brief introduction about yourself that you're comfortable sharing publicly.

  • Clearly state what you can offer, rather than exaggerating your qualifications.
  • Use your own name, photo, and contact information
  • Describe only cities, districts, neighborhoods, or imprecise areas

Do not post

The following content may be rejected, removed, or subject to further action.

  • Exact addresses, real-time locations, ID numbers, financial accounts, or other people’s private information
  • Illegal activities, fraud, impersonation, gambling, drugs, sexual exploitation, hate, violence, or threats
  • Contact details shared without consent, any content identifying a minor (including where a minor appears incidentally in the background), or discriminatory content
  • Bypassing moderation, bulk promotion, automated registration, or malicious reporting

Offline Security

When meeting someone for the first time, choose a public place whenever possible, let someone you trust know your plans, and don’t let online information lower your guard. If you encounter an immediate danger, contact local emergency services rather than waiting for a response via the platform’s email.

Moderation Mechanism

All public content is reviewed before publication: text in expert application materials is first reviewed by a local AI model; public articles and similar text content may be reviewed with the help of a third-party AI service on our paid tier (currently Google Gemini, covered by the Google Data Processing Addendum v10); images (expert-profile images and public-article images) may be reviewed with the same third-party AI service (currently Google Gemini, covered by the Google Data Processing Addendum v10); video and voice are processed by cloud services when cloud moderation is enabled; public voice messages may be transcribed into text by the same third-party AI service (currently Google Gemini), and the transcript is reviewed and published only after the author confirms it; voice messages in direct messages are not sent to third parties; human review follows where necessary. Results are: approved for publication / needs revision / rejected. If rejected, we state which item and why, and you can revise it in place and resubmit. Publishing a public article also requires two independent declarations — a third-party rights and legality declaration, and a minors-content prohibition confirmation.

Gradient for Handling Violations

Warning and request for correction → Content takedown → Feature restrictions (e.g. suspension of comments / direct messages / publishing) → Account suspension → Account termination. For repeat infringers or repeat violators we take proportionate measures along the same gradient, with review and an audit trail. In cases of serious illegality the account is terminated immediately and we cooperate with the authorities as required by law.

Reporting and Appeals

Reporting channels: the “Report public profile” feature on the site, or abuse@musenearby.com; please provide the location, the reason, your contact details and a good-faith declaration. High-risk reports (minor safety, intimate imagery, clearly illegal content, violence or severe privacy harm) are taken down automatically and immediately and escalated to a human at once; other reports receive an initial triage within 24 hours (not a final decision). The reported person has the right to appeal via Support@musenearby.com. We do not pass the reporter’s identity to the reported person (unless the law requires it, in which case it is logged). Malicious reports are treated as a violation.
