General Terms
of Use

These General Terms of Use (hereinafter "ToU") govern the use of the Logokratia service (hereinafter "the Service"), a debate and publication platform.

Article 1 – Purpose and Acceptance

Use of the Service implies full, complete, and unconditional acceptance of these ToU. If you do not accept these terms, you must immediately stop using the Service.

Article 2 – Access and Registration to the Service

Age requirements: Registration is restricted to individuals who are at least 16 years of age. For minors under 16, registration is subject to the prior authorization of a holder of parental authority. Rules regarding COPPA: In any event, the Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information immediately.

Account creation: The user agrees to provide accurate information, including a valid email address. They are solely responsible for the security of their password and for any activity carried out from their account.

Access: Logokratia implements reasonable means to ensure quality access to the Service, but is under no obligation to achieve a specific result. The User guarantees that they are not located in a country subject to a French or US government embargo, or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country. They agree to comply with international export control laws.

Article 3 – User Obligations and Published Content

The user is solely responsible for the content (texts, images, links, etc.) they publish on the Service. They guarantee that they hold all the rights and authorizations necessary for its publication.

Article 3.1 – Prohibited Content

The following content is strictly prohibited, subject to immediate removal of the content and/or the account:

• Sexual or pornographic content: Any image, video, or text displaying sexual acts, full nudity, or explicit suggestive content.
• Harm to third parties: Defamatory or insulting remarks, or content that infringes upon the privacy, image rights, or intellectual property of third parties.
• Harassment and violence: Threats, harassment (particularly cyberbullying), glorification of war crimes or terrorism, and content encouraging self-harm.

Article 3.1.1 – Exception for the public interest

By exception, the publication of sensitive content may be tolerated if, and only if, it pursues a clear purpose of information, journalism, historical documentation, public health, or scientific/philosophical argumentation. These specific cases will be subject to an in-depth review by our moderation teams upon reporting or detection, and may be restricted or removed if they do not meet the public-interest criteria. No exception applies to Child Sexual Abuse Exploitation/Material (CSAE). Zero tolerance is absolute and is systematically followed by a report to the competent authorities (notably via the PHAROS platform).

Article 3.1.2 – Warning obligation

In these exceptional cases, the User agrees to accompany their content with an explicit warning (e.g., a "Sensitive Content" notice) and not to present these elements in a gratuitous or inciting manner.

Article 3.1.3 – Assessment by Logokratia

Logokratia reserves the sovereign right to determine whether content falls under the "argumentative/informative" exception or constitutes a violation of these ToU. In case of doubt, the content may be hidden or subjected to an access restriction (prior warning for the reader).

Article 3.2 – Child Protection (Child Safety / CSAE)

The Logokratia application strictly prohibits any child sexual abuse content (CSAE). A zero-tolerance policy is enforced. Any violation will result in the immediate termination of your access to the Service and a report to the competent authorities (notably via the PHAROS platform).

Article 3.3 – Fraudulent technical behavior

The use of robots ("bots"), advertising spam (outside dedicated spaces), and any attempt to manipulate rating algorithms by fraudulent means are strictly prohibited.

Article 3.4 – Combating disinformation and "trolling"

Logokratia's mission is to provide a high-quality service based on the reliability of information. Consequently, the following are strictly prohibited:

• Disinformation: The deliberate and repeated dissemination of clearly false, truncated, or misleading information likely to mislead third parties.
• "Trolling": The adoption of malicious behavior aimed at systematically disrupting the serenity of debates through provocation, fallacious arguments, deliberately incoherent remarks, or attacks intended to discredit the platform.

The user acknowledges that such behavior seriously harms Logokratia's brand image and the integrity of its service.

Article 3.5 – Indemnification

The user agrees to indemnify and hold Logokratia harmless against any claim, complaint, action, or judgment (including attorneys' and court fees) brought by a third party against Logokratia, based on content published by the user or on a violation of these ToU.

Article 4 – License to User Content

You retain full ownership of your content. By publishing on Logokratia, you grant the Service a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license, for the legal duration of protection of your rights, allowing its hosting, display, reproduction, technical adaptation, and distribution. This license ends when the content or your account is deleted, subject to the preservation of anonymized public debates (Article 4.1).

This license is granted strictly within the framework necessary for the operation, promotion, and improvement of the Service, which explicitly includes, for publicly published content, the analysis, evaluation, and use of your content for the training and refinement of our Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and models.

So-called "private" content (instant messaging service) is only used to improve the automated moderation service, and only for content that has been reported and moderated. In this case, the content concerned is anonymized. This license does not imply any transfer of ownership.

The User may, at any time, object to the use of their content for training Logokratia's AI models via their account's privacy settings. This objection applies only for the future.

Article 4.1 – Longevity of public debates

Due to the collaborative nature of the platform (debates, discussion threads), deleting a user account does not result in the automatic deletion of their public contributions. In order to preserve the coherence of exchanges, the user accepts that their public content will be kept and maintained online in a strictly anonymized manner (irreversible dissociation of the pseudonym from the identity) after their account is closed. However, in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR and Articles L.121-1 and L.121-4 of the French Intellectual Property Code, the user retains the right to demand the total and definitive deletion of specific content upon simple request sent to support@logokratia.com.

Article 5 – Moderation and Reporting of Illegal Content

In its capacity as a host within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), Logokratia has no knowledge of content before it is put online, and is not subject to a general obligation to monitor content.

In accordance with Articles 11 and 12 of the DSA, the single point of contact for authorities is: legal@logokratia.com, and the single point of contact for users is: support@logokratia.com.

Article 5.1 – Algorithmic analysis

The quality indicators (reliability, coherence, constructiveness, clarity, calm) displayed on the platform are generated automatically by our Artificial Intelligence algorithms. These scores are technical navigation-aid tools and do not, under any circumstances, constitute editorial approval of the content by Logokratia.

Article 5.2 – Reporting procedure

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), any person may report clearly illegal content via the email address support@logokratia.com or via the reporting interface built into the Service. The report must contain a precise description of the facts, the location of the content (URL), and the legal grounds for the removal request.

Article 5.3 – Moderation process and sanctions

In order to preserve the proper functioning and reputation of the platform and to guarantee high-quality debate, Logokratia applies a two-phase hybrid moderation procedure:

• Phase 1: Automatic moderation and precautionary measures (visibility restriction). Logokratia may immediately apply a visibility restriction measure ("shadow ban"). This technical measure renders the content or account invisible to other community members. The User has a 6-month right to contest this measure.
• Phase 2: Human verification and final decision. Any restricted content or account is submitted to a human team for review (reinstatement, permanent removal, or banning).

Logokratia is committed to reviewing every appeal in a human, diligent, and non-arbitrary manner, within a reasonable period not exceeding 30 days from receipt of the complaint.

Article 5.4 – Combating abusive reporting

Any user who abuses the reporting function is liable to have their account suspended or permanently deleted (Article 6-I-4 of the French LCEN law).

Article 6 – Liability

The Service is provided "as is". Logokratia undertakes to make its best efforts to ensure the availability and security of the Service, but cannot guarantee the total absence of anomalies. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LOGOKRATIA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

Article 7 – Intellectual Property

The structure, texts, images, code, and any other element making up the Service are the exclusive property of Logokratia and are protected by copyright, with the exception of elements belonging to third parties (notably the icons and illustrations mentioned in the Legal Notice), which remain the property of their respective owners. Any reproduction without authorization is prohibited.

Article 7.1 – Prohibition of "scraping"

Any automated extraction of data (web-scraping) targeting Logokratia's content is strictly prohibited without authorization, including for the training of third-party AI models.

Article 8 – Personal Data

The collection and processing of your personal data are governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these ToU.

Article 9 – Suspension and Deletion of Accounts

Logokratia reserves the right to suspend or permanently delete any account in the event of a violation of these ToU.

Article 9.1 – Inactivity and pseudonyms

Logokratia reserves the right to reassign a pseudonym linked to an account that has remained inactive for more than six (6) months.

Article 10 – Modification of the ToU

Logokratia reserves the right to modify these ToU at any time. Users will be informed of any substantial modification.

Article 11 – Applicable Law and Competent Jurisdiction

These ToU are governed by French law. Failing an amicable resolution, the French courts shall have sole jurisdiction. In the event of a discrepancy, the French version shall prevail.
