Hornet Live allows users to interact with each other in real time. To keep this space safe and comfortable for everyone, there are specific guidelines about what is and isn’t allowed during a live stream. These rules are stricter than the rest of the platform.
Below is a summary of the types of content that may lead to suspension from Hornet Live or removal from the platform. Some violations can result in immediate account deletion, and repeated suspensions may also lead to account deletion.
If you are unsure whether something is allowed, it is best to keep your content clean and follow the guidelines closely.
