Pump.fun will exercise discretion in content moderation and enforce the new rules through stream termination and account suspension, with an appeal process available, but the platform retains final authority.
Pump.fun, the widely used platform on Solana for launching meme coins, has reintroduced its live streaming capability for a limited segment, initially 5%, of its user base.
This resumption follows a period of suspension enacted in response to significant criticism regarding disturbing and unsuitable content featured in certain streams.
The announcement was made by platform co-founder Alon on Friday.
New Content Policy Introduced to Prevent Harmful Material
Accompanying the relaunch is the implementation of a revised content moderation policy.
This policy provides clear guidelines specifying acceptable content and defining material that exceeds the boundaries of platform standards.
The purpose of this updated policy is to mitigate behaviors that could jeopardize user safety and safeguard the platform from content deemed illicit or damaging.
Simultaneously, it aims to uphold “creativity and freedom of expression” while fostering “meaningful engagement among users.”
Prohibited Content Categories Defined
The newly established guidelines explicitly prohibit content that includes violence, harassment, sexual exploitation, endangerment of children, and illegal activities.
Pump.fun also clearly states a strong stance against infringements of privacy, including doxing, and emphasizes its commitment to collaborating with law enforcement when encountering criminal content.
NSFW Content Allowed Under Specific Conditions
Notably, Pump.fun’s policy specifies that “Not Safe For Work” (NSFW) content is not automatically forbidden, provided that it does not violate any of the explicitly prohibited categories.
The platform acknowledges in its policy documentation that a “substantial amount of content” on Pump.fun may be classified as NSFW.
Therefore, Pump.fun will adopt a case-by-case evaluation approach to determine content appropriateness.
Platform Retains Discretion Over Content Moderation
Pump.fun’s team will maintain “the right to unilaterally judge the appropriateness of content where necessary and moderate it accordingly.”
This indicates that while users may encounter adult-oriented content, Pump.fun‘s moderation teams retain the authority to intervene when deemed necessary.
Consequences for Policy Violations Outlined
Breaching the outlined content policies may result in immediate stream termination and suspension of user accounts.
While users are provided the opportunity to contest content removals via Pump.fun’s support system, the platform explicitly reserves final decision-making power in policy enforcement.
Livestreaming Suspended Previously Due to Content Concerns
Pump.fun initially suspended its live streaming function in November after facing widespread condemnation due to harmful and abusive content broadcast on the platform.
The platform encountered severe criticism when users exploited the feature to broadcast violent threats, instances of self-harm, and overtly explicit actions, allegedly to manipulate the value of tokens.
