Community Guidelines

Ajako Taja brings together curious people from around the world to engage with trending news and AI-curated stories. Good conversations start with mutual respect and good faith — and that's all we're asking for here.

These guidelines apply to all interactive features of Ajako Taja, including comments, user submissions, and any future community features. By participating, you also agree to our Terms & Conditions.

Everything we ask of you in these guidelines comes down to four things:

We genuinely welcome:

• Thoughtful comments that add context, nuance, or local knowledge to a story.
• Respectful disagreement with other commenters, with reasons cited where possible.
• Sharing related information or personal experience relevant to the topic.
• Asking questions or flagging inaccuracies you've spotted.
• Reporting content that violates these guidelines.
• Constructive feedback about platform features or content quality.

The following content will be removed from Ajako Taja:

We get it — people want to share their work. But to keep discussions worth reading, the following aren't allowed:

• Repetitive or copy-pasted comments across multiple articles.
• Unsolicited promotional content, affiliate links, or advertisements.
• Coordinated posting designed to artificially boost content (brigading).
• Bot-generated or automated comments.
• Irrelevant links designed to drive traffic away from the platform.

Sharing your own relevant, clearly disclosed work occasionally is generally fine. When in doubt, disclose your affiliation.

We're a news platform. Accuracy matters. The following aren't permitted:

• Deliberately sharing false information designed to mislead readers.
• Spreading disinformation about health, elections, public safety, or scientific consensus.
• Presenting debunked conspiracy theories as fact.
• Presenting satirical or fictional content as real news.
• Manipulated media — deepfakes or altered images — presented as authentic.

We recognize that the line between misinformation and genuine disagreement isn't always clear. Our team applies these standards with context and proportionality. Opinion and satire are permitted when clearly labeled.

We will remove content designed to harm individuals or erode the quality of conversation, including:

• Comments whose main purpose is to cause emotional distress to another user.
• Sexual content posted in non-consenting contexts.
• Content that glorifies or encourages self-harm or suicide.
• Graphic violence shared for shock value rather than legitimate news context.
• Coordinated abuse targeting specific individuals.

If you encounter something distressing, please use the report tools described below. If you are personally in crisis, please contact local emergency services or a crisis helpline.

We're a small team, so we use a combination of automated tools and human review to moderate content:

Spotted something that breaks these guidelines?

• Use the report button on comments or articles where it's available.
• Email contact@guidedlab.com with the URL and a brief description.
• Don't engage with or retaliate against the person — report and disengage.

Reports are confidential. Filing false reports to target someone is itself a violation of these guidelines and may result in action against the reporter.

Violations may lead to the following, applied based on severity and context:

• Content removal — the violating comment or post is taken down.
• Warning — a notification that your content violated our guidelines.
• Temporary restriction — limited ability to comment for a set period.
• Account suspension — temporary loss of access to interactive features.
• Permanent ban — for repeated or severe violations.
• Referral to authorities — for credible threats, illegal activity, or child safety.

We try to be proportionate. First-time violations with clear intent to improve are treated more leniently than repeated or deliberate abuse.
