Sexually Explicit Material

Pornographic Content

Posting pornography on GJW may lead to the removal of content or termination of the channel. The following types of content are strictly prohibited on GJW. Please note that this list is not complete:

• Depictions of nudity intended for sexual gratification.
• Pornography, including depictions of sexual acts or fetishes intended for sexual gratification.

This policy applies across all GJW products and features, including videos, video descriptions, comments, images, live streams, audio, and any other content. It encompasses real-world scenarios, dramatized representations, illustrations, and animated content, including sex scenes, video games, and music.

Educational Content

Content containing nudity is permissible when its primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic, provided that it is not gratuitous. For instance:

• Documentaries on topics like breast cancer.
• Contextual nudity in indigenous cultures, medical settings, childbirth.

However, posting clips out of context for sexual gratification, even if sourced from educational or documentary material, is not permitted. Context is crucial, and providing it in the content, title, and description helps both us and your audience discern the video's primary purpose.

For educational, documentary, scientific, cultural, or artistic content containing adult material or graphic violence, we may consider official third-party ratings to determine its appropriateness for GJW. Content that aligns with our policies but may not be suitable for all audiences will be age-restricted. Age-restricted content is only viewable by users aged 18 and above or those who are signed in.

Violent, Harmful or Dangerous Content

These attributes may include their status within protected groups, physical characteristics, or their status as survivors of sexual assault, distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, domestic abuse, child abuse, and similar circumstances.
• Content uploaded with the intention of shaming, deceiving, or insulting a minor, defined as an individual under the legal age of majority, typically under 18 years old.

Exceptions

Under certain circumstances where the primary purpose of the content is deemed educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic, we may consider allowing content that includes elements of harassment. It is crucial to note that these exceptions do not provide immunity for harassment. Examples of such exceptions include:

• Debates concerning high-profile officials or leaders: Content featuring debates or discussions on topical issues involving individuals in positions of power, such as prominent government officials or CEOs of major corporations.
• Scripted performances: Insults presented within the context of an artistic medium, such as scripted satire, stand-up comedy, or musical compositions (e.g., diss tracks). Please note that this exception does not condone harassment under the guise of humor.
