Safety on Opinions

We combine clear rules, easy reporting, automated assistance and human review. No system catches everything, so reports from the community matter.

We remove illegal content when we become aware of it, and take steps to reduce the risk of it appearing.

Everything on Opinions is posted by users. We don’t review every post before it appears.

Every opinion, argument, reply and profile can be reported from its menu. See Reporting & Complaints.

Blocking other accounts is not yet available. It is planned. Until then, please report accounts that are targeting you.

Muting is not yet available and is planned.

Reported content is assessed against our Community Guidelines. See Moderation & Appeals.

Credible threats are treated as a priority and may be shared with the police.

Report harassment and we’ll review the content and the account behind it.

Hateful attacks on people are removed. Debate about difficult topics is not.

Never send money or personal details to someone you met on Opinions. Report anything suspicious.

Opinions is not for young children. We ask for date of birth at sign-up and close accounts below our minimum age.

Child sexual exploitation and abuse material is removed and reported to the relevant UK authorities. You can also report directly to the Internet Watch Foundation at iwf.org.uk.

Terrorist content is removed and may be reported to the police. You can also report it to Counter Terrorism Policing via gov.uk/report-terrorism.

Report it immediately. The Revenge Porn Helpline (0345 6000 459) can also help.

Content encouraging suicide or self-harm is removed. If you are struggling, please contact Samaritans on 116 123, any time.

We respond to legally valid requests from authorities and may share information to prevent serious harm.

You can ask us to look again at decisions about your content or account.

Reporters can see the status and outcome of their reports in their profile. We intend to publish transparency information as we grow.

Opinions is a user-to-user service under the UK Online Safety Act 2023. We are working to meet our duties, including illegal content risk assessments, reporting and complaints procedures, and protecting children. [ADMIN: confirm risk assessment status and Ofcom contact point]
