You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity,
national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age,
disability, or serious disease. We reserve the right to consider and add additional categories. You may
not use your username, display name or profile information to abuse or threaten anyone. Accounts that do
so may be permanently suspended.
Moreover, there is no place on Zoom for organizations that promote violence against, threaten, or harass
other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender
identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.
There is no place for hateful conduct on Zoom. If you engage in hateful conduct, including, for
example, posting or sending hateful imagery, making violent threats, targeting others with hateful or
abusive speech, including profanity, or encourage anyone else to do those things, you will be blocked
from Zoom.
- We believe that hateful conduct
is conduct that promotes violence against or directly attacks or threatens other people on the basis
of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious
affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. We will not allow access to Zoom to those who have
used or intend to use it for the purpose of inciting harm towards others on the basis of these
categories.
- We believe that hateful imagery
includes logos, symbols, or images whose purpose is to promote hostility and malice against others
based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity,
religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Some examples of hateful imagery
include:
- symbols historically associated with hate groups (e.g., the Nazi swastika);
- images depicting others as less than human, or altered to include hateful symbols (e.g.,
altering images of individuals to include animalistic features);
- images altered to include hateful symbols or references to a mass murder that targeted a
protected category (e.g., manipulating images of individuals to include yellow Star of David
badges, in reference to the Holocaust).
- We believe violent threats
include declarative statements of intent to inflict injuries that would result in death or serious
and lasting bodily harm. We also believe that hateful or abusive
speech, including the use of profanity to harass or abuse, has no place on Zoom. Please see
our Violent Threats Policy for more information.
- If you are found to have violated this policy, you will be permanently suspended from Zoom. If you
believe our finding is wrong, you can submit an appeal.
