What’s UGC
Posts and comments in the All.HipHop Community is user-generated. They are not newsroom output.
Moderation
We remove content that is illegal, harassing, hateful, doxxing, spam or flagged for DMCA violations. Repeat offenders lose access.
Reporting
Use the reporting tools in the community.
Separation from Search
UGC has no bearing on editorial decisions. Sponsored UGC is labeled and limited per ad policy.
The All.HipHop Community hosts user-generated content (UGC). Community posts are created by users, not our newsroom. Each user is responsible for what they publish.
Under 47 U.S.C. § 230 (Section 230), All.HipHop operates as an interactive computer service. This means:
- We are not the publisher or speaker of UGC posted by users.
- We are not liable for claims arising from UGC, including defamation, privacy, or related torts.
- We may moderate, label, restrict, or remove UGC at our discretion to enforce our rules. Exercising moderation does not waive Section 230 protections.
Important carve-outs: Section 230 does not shield content or conduct involving:
- Federal criminal law or obligations under applicable law.
- Sex trafficking laws (FOSTA/SESTA).
- Intellectual property claims. For copyright, use our DMCA/Takedown process.
Intellectual Property & DMCA
If you believe content infringes your rights, submit a DMCA notice via our [DMCA/Takedown page] or email [email protected] with the required details. We act on valid notices promptly and may disable repeat-offender accounts.
Reporting Violations
To report harassment, threats, doxxing, illegal content, or other rule violations:
- Use the Report feature on the post, or
- Email [email protected] with the URL, a short description, and evidence (screenshots or links).
No Endorsement
UGC does not reflect the views of All.HipHop, our owners, sponsors, or advertisers. Ad placement near UGC does not equal endorsement.
