Harmful Content: Self-Harm
Policy goal
The goal of this policy is to prevent the dissemination of self-harm (through the glorification or depiction of such behavior).
What is in violation
We take the well-being and safety of our users seriously. While we welcome content and conversation about topics such as mental health, suicide, and eating disorders, we restrict the following content:
- Promotion or glorification of suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders
- Suicide pacts
- Instructions on how to commit acts of self-harm
- Mocking or harassing victims/survivors of self-injury
- Encouraging others to seriously harm themselves (for example, encouraging users to participate in dangerous activities such as Russian Roulette)
Content that threatens, depicts, or promotes self-harm is not permitted on any of Adobe's products or services and will be removed when reported to us. Repeat violations could lead to a permanent account restriction.
Content that depicts, encourages, coordinates, or provides instructions for:
- Suicide
- Self-injury
- Eating disorders
Creatives can use Adobe’s platforms to responsibly discuss their prior experiences with self-harm/self-injury or mental illness. For example, a user can create a project to discuss how art has helped them cope with mental illness and overcome suicidal thoughts.
While we do allow users to create works that responsibly discuss their prior experiences with self-harm or mental illness, we do not allow content that promotes or encourages others to engage in self-harm.
