Graphic Real-World Media

Noice promotes free expression, and we allow and encourage a wide range of content creators and content.

However, footage or audio of real-world graphic footage of violence or death can be extremely distressing—please don’t share it on the platform.

In certain cases, we may age-restrict content featuring video game footage with graphic violence or gore when it is indistinguishable from real-world footage.

The following behaviors are a violation of Noice’s policies:

Displaying real-world violence

Noice is not a shock platform, and we do not allow graphic real-world content —audio or image — of people coming to physical harm or death. We also do not allow imagery of animal abuse shared with an intent to shock.

This includes streaming footage or posting images of

  • real-world death, whether or not it includes graphic footage
  • real-world serious injuries
  • violent attacks, robberies, beatings, torture or other forms of severe violence against a person or people
  • human remains
  • sexual violence
  • animal abuse, slaughter, torture, cruelty, sexual abuse or gore

We recognize that there is sometimes news and documentary value for graphic footage; when that is the case, that footage can only be displayed with extensive blurring and audio filtering, and only in channels that are age-gated and properly labeled. We may also make exceptions for properly refereed and sanctioned real-world sporting events that include violent physical contact.

Consequences for violating this policy:  immediate and indefinite suspension from all Noice platforms. In certain cases we may instead temporarily suspend accounts for first-time violations of this policy.

Sharing footage of real-world gore

Noice is not a shock platform, and we do not allow graphic real-world content —audio or image — of people coming to physical harm or death. We also do not allow imagery of animal abuse shared with an intent to shock.

This includes:

  • Gore such as open wounds or injuries
  • Medical procedures
  • Footage or imagery showing or suggesting blood or human waste
  • Footage of people eating live animals
  • Footage of animal attacks or mating behavior
  • Links to graphic real-world content

We recognize that there is sometimes news and documentary value for graphic footage; when that is the case, that footage can only be displayed with sufficient blurring or content obscuring and in channels that are age-gated and properly labeled.

Consequences for violating this policy:
  • First violation: a warning message and immediate termination of any livestream in progress as well as deletion of any violative messages or content
  • Second violation: temporary suspension of streaming and chat privileges
  • Third violation: temporary suspension from all Noice platforms
  • Fourth violation: indefinite suspension from all Noice platforms.

For egregious cases we will immediately and indefinitely suspend accounts for first-time violations of this policy. In exceptional cases of news and footage of documentary value that is properly blurred or obscured, we may instead immediately apply a sensitive content label and an 18+ restriction on the channel and kick out any viewers under the age of 18.
