An open and secure user experience
We want an open and social exchange on the platform. But just like in real life, we ask you to follow certain basic rules. So play it safe and don't share anything you wouldn't trust strangers with.
A good rule of thumb is: If you wouldn't trust your family, colleagues or boss with it, chances are you shouldn't share it on our platform.
