ABC Online Communities <p>While encouraging rigorous debate and the sharing of diverse opinions, the ABC expects community members to treat each other with respect and courtesy. These standards apply to interaction within all ABC Online Services including official ABC accounts established on third-party social media sites.</p> <p>You understand and agree the ABC has ultimate editorial control over all its online services. The ABC may edit, remove or exercise its discretion not to publish your contribution for legal, editorial or operational reasons including if the ABC considers it to be:</p> <ol> <li>defamatory, or otherwise unlawful or that it violates laws regarding harassment, discrimination, racial vilification, privacy or contempt. The ABC reserves the right to close comments on posts that may elicit harmful, defamatory or otherwise unlawful user contributions;</li> <li>intentionally false or misleading;</li> <li>an infringement of intellectual property rights including copyright;</li> <li>abusive, offensive or obscene;</li> <li>inappropriate, off topic, repetitive or vexatious. For example the ABC reserves the right to reject contributions that have been widely canvassed in the forum. It also reserves the right to reject contributions from participants who seek to dominate the discussion;</li> <li>compromising the privacy of any person or containing inappropriate personal information;</li> <li>seeking to endorse commercial products or services;</li> <li>seeking to directly solicit donations;</li> <li>deliberate provocation of other community members. or</li> <li>impersonating someone else and/or posting on behalf of a suspended member.</li> </ol> <p>If you breach these Terms of Use, the ABC may block your account or contributions.</p> <p>The ABC values the role of its communities in guiding content standards and etiquette among members. If you have concerns about inappropriate content on an ABC Online Service you can alert the moderator of that space.</p> <p>When accessing or participating in an ABC-managed space on a third party platform, such as channels, pages or feeds hosted on an external site, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions specified by that third party platform.</p> <p>The ABC recommends you make sure you understand the privacy settings for each platform with which you engage and choose appropriate options to protect your personal details and content shared.</p> 4.

Unless specifically noted in the House Rules for a particular service, you may not otherwise reproduce, republish, modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, reverse engineer or disassemble ABC Content, without obtaining the ABC's prior written permission. You agree not to remove, obscure, or alter any ABC copyright notice or trademark on any content you access and use.

Children <p>We take steps to ensure that appropriate content is made available to children who use ABC Online Services. For example, when a sub-profile is created for a child on ABC iview, the ABC will make available content that is suitable for their age group. It is important for parents and guardians to monitor and participate in their children’s use of ABC Online Services to protect their safety and prevent access to inappropriate content.</p> <p>When contributions are sought from, likely to have been submitted by, or include children and/or young people (under 18), the ABC will, where appropriate, seek the consent of a child’s parent or guardian before using a child’s contribution on ABC platforms.</p> <p>You must not create a sub-profile for a child on iview unless consent to these terms is in place in relation to the child.&nbsp. If you are the parent or guardian of the child, you must only create a sub-profile for the child if you consent on the child’s behalf, and (if the child is old enough to consent) you have also confirmed that the child consents.&nbsp. If you are not the parent or guardian of the child, you must ensure that a parent or guardian of the child has taken those steps.&nbsp;&nbsp. The ABC will proceed on the basis that by creating a profile for a child you confirm that you have ensured that consent in in place in relation to that child.</p> <p>Parents seeking appropriate content for young children and advice regarding information regarding online safety can find the ABC’s children’s online destinations at&nbsp;www.abc.net.au/children/.</p> 6.

We agree that we will handle any personal information and data relating to you or to the people for whom you create sub-profiles in accordance with the ABC Privacy Policy and the ABC Privacy Collection Statement.</p> 7.
