Context
This change ensures that users clearly understand when a post has been flagged as illegal and why interaction with it is restricted. The goal is to remove illegal content from discovery surfaces while preserving transparency on the content owner’s profile. This approach balances compliance requirements with user clarity by explicitly labeling illegal posts and enforcing strict interaction limitations. It also prevents further amplification or monetization of illegal content.
Description
Posts flagged as illegal are now excluded from the feed, search results, and all filter-based discovery mechanisms. These posts remain visible only on the content owner’s profile, where the post title, content, and description are hidden and replaced with a visible label “Removed as illegal”.
Illegal posts cannot be interacted with in any way: they cannot be liked, disliked, commented on, viewed, shared, promoted, or reported again. Existing interaction metrics (likes, comments, views) are no longer displayed, and illegal posts do not reward gems. Access via consent-based mechanisms or web toggles is explicitly blocked.
