Community Guidelines
OPEN PRESS is built to support independent expression. These guidelines describe the narrow set of content we do not permit.
Expression we support
Political and editorial opinion, criticism of public figures and organizations, satire, investigative reporting, cultural commentary, strong language, unpopular positions and controversial journalism are all permitted. We do not require publishers to hold any particular political, religious, cultural or ideological viewpoint.
Prohibited content
- Child sexual exploitation material
- Credible threats of violence
- Direct incitement to violence
- Content facilitating serious criminal wrongdoing
- Doxxing intended to cause harm
- Non-consensual intimate imagery
- Fraud and scams
- Malicious software
- Harmful impersonation
- Spam and automated abuse
- Content violating applicable law
- Copyright infringement when properly reported
How we apply these rules
We do not remove content simply because it is controversial, offensive, unpopular or politically sensitive. Moderation decisions are recorded, and every action taken by an administrator is logged with the reason, target and timestamp.
Reporting
Every published article includes a report option. Reports go to our moderation queue for human review.
