Nudity and Pornography: On Inkdify, explicit sexual material is strictly prohibited. This includes depictions of sexual intercourse, displays of genitalia in direct contact, masturbation, semen, vaginal fluids, urine in a sexual context, and the use of sex toys in a sexual context. Additionally, images that gratuitously focus on penises or vaginas, close-up images of vaginas, or images of men with visible erections are not allowed. Inkdify also maintains a conservative approach to images of children, where children should be appropriately clothed, and nudity or sexualized content involving children is strictly prohibited. Designs Referencing Children or on Children's Clothing: Inkdify takes a conservative approach to designs that reference children or are made available on children's clothing. Designs referencing children should be free from undesirable associations or connotations, such as sexually suggestive, violent, demeaning, derogatory, or politically charged content. Adult-themed tag words should not be used on children's clothing or works that reference children. Designs made available on children's clothing should be suitable for children of all ages, and humorous slogans or gender-specific slogans should be carefully considered to avoid unintended offense. Violence and Hatred: Inkdify does not permit work that glorifies or trivializes violence or human suffering. Graphic depictions of violence, works that trivialize violent acts, and content or behavior intended to incite hatred or violence are strictly prohibited. This includes the promotion of organizations, groups, or individuals with a history of violence or an agenda of hate. Works that deal with catastrophic events or atrocities should be handled sensitively, taking into account the potential distress they may cause to victims. Racism: Racist content or behavior and material designed to incite racism are not allowed on Inkdify. Racism is defined as the hatred, intolerance, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race, based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Works that use racist terms in a casual and derogatory way are not permitted, except in situations where legitimate discussion or commentary on racism is taking place. The context in which racial slurs are used will be considered in determining whether a work should be removed. Use of Symbols: Symbols and icons carry strong messages, and their use on Inkdify requires careful consideration. Symbols like the swastika, crosses, the Confederate Flag, Hitler, and the Koran can be used in a work, but only with considerable care. Works may be removed if the intent is ambiguous or needlessly provocative, if the content appears deliberately designed to contravene anti-vilification, anti-racist, or hate guidelines, or if the content does not comply with country-specific laws. These guidelines are in place to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment on Inkdify. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the removal of offending content, warnings, account suspension, or permanent removal from the platform. Country-Specific Laws: Inkdify respects and complies with country-specific laws regarding the use of certain content, such as symbols, images, or words. In order to adhere to these laws, Inkdify may remove works that contain such content in specific countries where it is prohibited or regulated.

As a general rule, works that are presented as an opinion or a criticism on a subject of public interest do not fall under the definition of defamation. Vilification: Inkdify defines vilification as conduct or content that is intended to invoke serious contempt, revulsion, or severe ridicule of an individual or group of people based on race, religion, disability, gender identity, sexuality, or if they are deemed to be a vulnerable person or group (e.g., refugees). This includes the promotion of organizations, groups, or individuals whose views inherently vilify any of the mentioned characteristics.
