Gab may allow some forms of graphic content in Gabs, but reserves the right to remove them or label it as sensitive content. When content includes images of death, Gab may ask that you remove the content out of respect for the deceased.

In addition, you may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent.

7. You may encounter someone considering suicide or self harm on Gab. When we receive reports that a person is threatening suicide or self harm, we may take a number of steps to assist them, such as reaching out to that person expressing our concern and the concern of other users on Gab or providing resources such as contact information for certified mental health resources.

13. Submitting false or misclassified reports, or otherwise abusing the reporting system may result in a ban.

Copyright Policy

("Gab") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.

It is Gab's policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Gab will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Gab online network, which is accessible through a mobile device (the "App"), that are reported to Gab's Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the App by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Gab's Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, Gab will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the App.

Identify the material that you claim is infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL or page on the App where such material may be found.

3. Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
