Acceptable Use Policy

Never permitted

Any sexual content involving minors, or any character presented as a minor. This is reported to authorities, not just blocked.

Sexual or intimate content depicting a real person who has not consented to it.

Impersonating someone to defraud, blackmail, or extract money, credentials, or access.

Making a public figure appear to say something they did not, in a way meant to be taken as real.

Requires permission you can show

Creating a character from a real person's photo, video, or voice. Likeness and voice are separate permissions — permission to use someone's face is not permission to clone their voice.

Sharing a real-person character with anyone else. Whose likeness it is decides what happens next. Your own — a world you open of yourself, or of a business you run — may be public, and most of YOUWORLD is exactly that. Someone else's may be public only with their written permission, held by you and produced on request. A real person who has neither opened it themselves nor authorised it stays private, and we will close it if it is not.

Memorial characters of someone who has died. These get additional review, and the character will not claim to actually be that person.

How this is enforced

Uploads are screened automatically, and anything uncertain goes to a human rather than through. Uploading is itself a declaration that you have the right to the material, and that declaration is recorded with the upload.

Anyone can report a character. Rights holders can request takedown at abuse@youhere.live and we act before arguing about it.

First response is usually a restriction, not a ban. The categories in the first section are the exception — those are immediate.
