A content or account moderation decision (“Decision”) means any action taken by AI Studio to:
- Deactivate an account
- Deactivate Content shared to or from an account
- Impose a final warning for a violation on an account
- Restrict account features (for example, the ability to livestream)
- Restrict the ability to monetise Content by preventing subscriptions or limiting your ability to accept certain types of payments
Use
This Policy can be used in two ways:
- By AI Studio Users who want us to review or reverse a Decision
- By non-AI Studio-users in the USA/EU/EEA who have complained about suspected illegal content on AI Studio and who disagree with AI Studio’s Appeal response
Deactivation Appeal
