OnAir Post: Terms of Service

Curation Guidelines

This section provides guidelines for how Democracy onAir determines the permissibility and impermissibility of speech and content on its Elections & Governance Hubs. These principles are meant to encourage civil and honest discourse without allowing for harassment or threats to personal safety. In case of any questions or concerns, please contact Shuaib Ahmed at shuaib.ahmed@onair.cc .

  • Research-driven content: Our choice and priorities of content will be formed by research on current topics, interviews and polling on information relevant to our target audience, and internal discussion.
  • Full citation and credit: All included information will include source information and hyperlinks.
  • Respect and inclusivity: Our platform is meant to promote an open discourse about current politics that is open for all users with that common goal. Any user or content that infringes on that goal will be removed from the platform and disciplined.
  • Transparency: All moderation decisions that involve takedown of content or user sanction will be publicly available with documented justifications. Identifying information will be removed as appropriate.
  • Evolution of rules: Our Curation Principles will undergo an annual review to ensure that they match the evolving nature of political discussion. All users will be fully notified of changes to the platform’s guidelines. Ad hoc reviews of rules and guidelines will also occur if needed, and Democracy onAir reserves the right to make case-by-case decisions if content does not fit cleanly into a category but nonetheless runs counter to our general principles.
