Effective date: August 11, 2023
As part of our ongoing efforts to make Buzz Links a trusted platform for its users, we’ve developed guidelines that go hand-in-hand with our Terms and Conditions. They outline the do’s and don’ts of using Buzz Links so that we can best keep you (and your audience!) safe. Please take a few minutes to review our Community Standards and digest ‘em, since – like our T&Cs – you’re agreeing to abide by them by using your Buzz Links.
If you come across content on a Buzz Links that violates the standards below, please report it.
We want to empower Linkers of all kinds to carve out their own space on the Internet. We also want to make sure that visitors, including minors, can make informed decisions before they click. Additionally, legal restrictions across Buzz Links's many international markets limit what content we can or cannot allow on the platform.

Buzz Links is a place to share beliefs and ideas as long as it does not cause harm, incite hatred or violence, or discriminate against individuals and groups based on race, skin color, national origin, religious beliefs, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or medical condition. We’re also not a platform that should be used to glorify perpetrators of hatred, violence, or discrimination either.
Don’t use Buzz Links to impede your local/national electoral process, which includes misleading the public about where and how to participate, or about who can participate, and selling or attempting to sell your right to vote.
Buzz Links names are meant for everyone– so don’t buy, sell, hoard or trade them. Don’t secure a Buzz Links name without the intention of using it, or with the intention to ‘domain squat’, i.e. to prevent someone else from using it, or to profit from reselling it. This is illegal in some countries, and Buzz Links does not allow it.
Don’t use Buzz Links to advertise, encourage, or facilitate the sale of regulated or illegal goods, services, or activities, including (but not limited to):
Any content designed to target minors must not promote any content that is inappropriate, or that exploits or exerts undue pressure on the targeted individuals.
Don’t use Buzz Links to spam or scam visitors. This includes (but isn’t limited to):
Don’t use Buzz Links to target individuals with the intention to intimidate, harass, threaten, or bully.
Don’t use Buzz Links to advertise, propagandize, praise, or collect funds for extremist groups or their activities.
Buzz Links has a no tolerance policy for child harm. Do not upload or link out to content that harms minors or endorses harming minors, including: child sexual abuse material, solicitation of minors, and imagery that feature underage individuals within an inappropriate context. We actively report any such cases of child endangerment or harm uploaded to or linked out from Buzz Links to relevant authorities, e.g. the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
We want Buzz Links to be a place where individuals can feel safe as they engage the journey of recovery in a healthy way, but we also want everyone to feel safe when visiting. As a result, we prohibit content that promotes or idealizes suicide, self-mutilation, or disordered eating.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please consider reaching out for help. Organizations such as 7 Cups, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and IMAlive provide anonymous, free, and 24/7 support across many countries and languages.
Don’t use Buzz Links to share content intended to shock and disturb visitors such as gore, mutilation, excessive violence, or physical abuse.
You should not upload or link content that infringes an individual’s intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademarks, and patents). If you believe your intellectual property rights are being infringed because of content on Buzz Links, please reach out to us.
Maintaining individual privacy is very important on Buzz Links! We don’t allow Buzz Links profiles and links that expose others’ personal identifying information (billing details, IDs, etc.), collect identifying information (including IP addresses) without the appropriate legal basis (e.g. explicit consent), or expose private media (image-based sexual abuse, etc.). We also don’t allow Buzz Links profiles or links that impersonate other individuals or organizations.
If you collect personal information from visitors, you must ensure that you have a privacy notice that visitors can review before providing their personal data. This privacy notice must comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Don’t use Buzz Links to post, share or spread misinformation or disinformation. This includes any content that jeopardizes public safety, including but not limited to manipulated media, documentation, or conspiracy theories.
