Acceptable Use Policy

Content Standards

Content you create, schedule, or publish through OpenPost must not:

• Contain hate speech, threats of violence, or harassment targeting individuals or groups.
• Include sexually explicit material involving minors, or any content that exploits children.
• Promote terrorism, violent extremism, or organized criminal activity.
• Contain malware, phishing links, or other material designed to harm users or their devices.
• Infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights that you do not own or have permission to use.
• Contain deceptive content designed to mislead (including deepfakes, fabricated endorsements, or impersonation of real people or organizations).

Spam and Automation Limits

OpenPost is a tool for genuine content distribution, not a mass-messaging platform. The following behaviors are not permitted:

• Posting identical or nearly identical content across an excessive number of accounts with the sole purpose of inflating reach or engagement metrics.
• Using OpenPost to send unsolicited direct messages, comments, or replies at scale.
• Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits, rate limits, or enforcement actions.
• Using automated scripts or bots to interact with OpenPost in ways that go beyond the documented API, including scraping, automated account creation, or credential stuffing.

Using the OpenPost API and scheduled posting features for legitimate automation (such as posting RSS updates, recurring content, or agent-driven workflows) is perfectly fine. The line is between helpful automation and abuse.

Platform Compliance

When you use OpenPost to publish to a social media platform, you are also subject to that platform’s terms of service and community guidelines. OpenPost does not shield you from platform-level enforcement. If a platform bans your account or restricts your access because of content you posted through OpenPost, that is between you and the platform.

We may proactively restrict accounts that repeatedly trigger platform violations, as this can affect our API access and harm all OpenPost users.

System Integrity

You must not attempt to:

• Access accounts, data, or systems that do not belong to you.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of OpenPost infrastructure without written permission.
• Interfere with or disrupt the service for other users (denial-of-service attacks, resource exhaustion, etc.).
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract OpenPost’s source code.
• Circumvent any rate limits, access controls, or security measures.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly. See our Security page for details.

Enforcement

When we become aware of a policy violation, we may take one or more of the following actions based on the severity:

• Warning — a notification asking you to correct the behavior.
• Content removal — deleting specific posts or media that violate the policy.
• Temporary suspension — restricting account access for a defined period.
• Permanent termination — closing the account and deleting all associated data.

Severe violations (child exploitation material, active phishing campaigns, or coordinated abuse) will result in immediate termination without warning, and we may report the activity to relevant authorities.

Reporting Violations

If you encounter content or behavior on OpenPost that violates this policy, report it to abuse@openpost.so. We review all reports and take action as appropriate.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Changes will be posted here and, if significant, communicated to users.
