2. Be honest and authentic

• Use your real identity as required for your account type (Personal or Business).
• Do not impersonate another person, brand, or organisation.
• Do not misrepresent your age, location, relationship status, or professional credentials in a way that could mislead others.

3. Keep content appropriate

• Do not share others’ private information without consent (doxxing).
