Moderated content

Here are the current rules we apply to the content we moderate.

Note that content restrictions only apply to Argil’s avatars. If you wish to generate content outside of our restrictions, please train your own avatar (see how)

On Argil, to protect our customers and to comply with our “safe synthetic content guidelines”, we prevent some content to be generated. There are 2 scenarios:

• Video generated with your avatar: no content is restricted

• Video generated with Argil’s avatars: submitted to content restrictions (see below)

---

Here’s an exhaustive list of content that is restricted:

You will not use the Platform to generate, upload, or share any content that is obscene, pornographic, offensive, hateful, violent, or otherwise objectionable, including but not limited to content that falls in the following categories:

Violence and harm

• Blood, gore, self harm

• Extreme violence, graphic violence, incitement to violence

• Terrorism

Banned: Content that portrays graphic depictions of physical harm, promotes violent behavior, or incites others to harm themselves or others is not allowed. This includes highly descriptive language or imagery that glorifies violence or presents it as a solution.

Privacy and Intellectual Property

• Intellectual property infringement

• Invasion of privacy

Banned: Content that encourages removing watermarks, using pirated software, or disclosing private information without consent is disallowed. This includes sharing unauthorized personal details or methods to bypass intellectual property protections.

Nudity and sexual content

Banned: Sexual content is banned when it contains graphic descriptions of acts, uses explicit language, or is intended to arouse rather than inform or educate. Depictions of non-consensual or illegal sexual acts are strictly forbidden.

Harassment

Banned: Harassment includes targeted attacks, threats, or content meant to humiliate an individual. Persistent, unwanted commentary or personal attacks against a specific person also fall under this banned category.

Misinformation and fake news

Banned: Misinformation is flagged when it spreads false narratives as facts, especially on topics like health, science, or current events. Conspiracy theories or fabricated claims that could mislead or harm the audience are strictly not allowed.

Sensitive Political Topics

Banned: Content is banned when it incites unrest, promotes illegal political actions, or glorifies controversial figures without nuance. Content that polarizes communities or compromises public safety through biased narratives is flagged.

Allowed: Balanced discussions on political issues, provided they are neutral, educational, and avoid inflammatory language.

Why do we restrict content?

We have very strong contracts in place with our actors that are used as Argil’s avatars.

If you think that a video has been wrongly flagged, please send an email to [e-mail] (and ideally include the transcript of said video).

Please note that Argil created a feature on the platform to automatically filter the generation of prohibited content, but this feature can be too strict and in some cases doesn’t work.

Users that violate these guidelines may see the immediate termination of their access to the Platform and a permanent ban from future use.
