• Content that encourages self harm, suicide or disordered eating.

• Using bots to create accounts, claim names or inflate clicks.
• Trying to break into Lnky, other accounts, or the systems behind them.

What we do

We may block words and links, hide or remove a page, take back a name, or close an account, without notice when the content is serious. Where the law requires it, we report to the authorities and keep the related records.

If we act on your page

Depending on how serious it is, we may ask you to change something, hide one link, hide the page, or close the account. We tell you what we did and why unless the law stops us. If you think we got it wrong, use Appeal a decision in the Trust center and a different person will look again.
