3. User Responsibilities and Content Guidelines

You are solely and entirely responsible for any and all content, comments, or actions you post, upload, link to, or otherwise make available on FleckneyToday. By submitting content, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property rights thereto or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to publish the content.
  • Your content does not violate these Terms of Use or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, including, but not limited to, laws regarding defamation, privacy, copyright, trademark, and obscenity.
  • Your content will not be offensive, illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.
  • You will respect other users and community standards, refraining from personal attacks, harassment, and discriminatory remarks.

Specifically, you must not post, upload, link to, or otherwise make available any content that is illegal under UK law, including but not limited to, content related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), terrorism, encouraging or assisting serious self-harm or suicide, cyberflashing, sending false information intended to cause non-trivial harm, threatening communications, intimate image abuse, bullying, abusive, hateful content, content depicting or encouraging serious violence or injury, dangerous stunts, or promoting harmful substances. You must also refrain from posting content that is harmful to children, regardless of its legality.

FleckneyToday does not endorse any user content and expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with user content. While FleckneyToday does not pre-screen content, we reserve the right, but not the obligation, to:

  • Monitor, edit, or remove any content at our sole discretion, without notice, for any reason, including content that violates these Terms of Use or is otherwise objectionable.
  • Investigate any reported violation of our policies or complaints and take any action that we deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, issuing warnings, suspending or terminating accounts, or reporting to law enforcement authorities.

3.1 Age Restrictions and Child Safety

FleckneyToday is intended for users who are aged 13 years or older. By creating an account or using our services, you confirm that you meet this minimum age requirement. We may employ age verification measures to ensure compliance.

In accordance with the Online Safety Act 2023, FleckneyToday is committed to protecting children online. We will implement measures to prevent children from accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content. If our service is likely to be accessed by children, we will conduct risk assessments and implement proportionate measures to mitigate risks of harm to children. We will also provide clear and accessible ways for users, parents, and carers to report concerns regarding child safety.

3.2 Reporting Illegal and Harmful Content

FleckneyToday provides mechanisms for users to report content that they believe violates these Terms of Use or applicable UK law. If you encounter any content that you believe is illegal or harmful, particularly content related to child sexual abuse, terrorism, self-harm, or other serious harms, you must report it using our designated reporting tools. We are committed to reviewing all reports promptly and taking appropriate action, which may include content removal, user suspension, and reporting to relevant law enforcement authorities where necessary. Information on how to report content can be found here.

FleckneyToday reserves the right to moderate content proactively and reactively. While we do not actively monitor all user-generated content, we will investigate reports of violations and may use automated and/or human moderation to identify and remove content that breaches these terms or legal obligations. We aim to be transparent about our moderation decisions where appropriate, though we reserve the right to withhold specific details in certain circumstances (e.g., to protect privacy or ongoing investigations).
