Dear SOOP users,
Since the launch, SOOP has been actively monitoring and rigorously enforcing policies against accounts and content that violate both copyright laws and our Community Guidelines. Despite these efforts, some live streams and accounts continue to breach our guidelines. In response, we are strengthening our monitoring and enforcement practices.
SOOP is fully committed to protecting our users and community by preventing harmful behavior and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. We take copyright infringement and illegal activities very seriously and are dedicated to preserving the integrity of the SOOP platform. As part of this commitment, we will intensify actions against users engaged in activities that violate local, national, or international copyright laws.
Please note that violations related to copyright infringement or malicious usage of SOOP can lead to account restrictions and legal consequences, including penalties and claims for damages as outlined by applicable laws.
We encourage all users to carefully review the following details regarding the strengthened restrictions and enforcement measures.
