LUPUS LA SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY STANDARDS
Social media is a way to express yourself, create meaningful connections and to foster a sense of community. While Lupus LA supports these sentiments, we also operate with integrity and we expect those who engage on our platforms to do the same. Therefore, we have a few community standards in place in order to keep our social platforms honest, safe and ethical.
Integrity
In order to empower free expression while maintaining a safe and respectful environment, we remove, block or hide followers and comments that are harmful to Lupus LA, employees or community. These includes:
In an effort to prevent deceptive content that can harm the organization, its employees or its community, Lupus LA removes comments that intentionally deceive, willfully misrepresent or otherwise mislead our community and the public.
Be Kind
We want to create a positive, healthy and supportive environment for the Lupus LA community. We want to be more than just a group that has integrity; we want to be a force for good. When making posts, please keep the following things in mind:
Medical Safety
We request that you do not request or provide medical advice on our social media channels. While encouraging individuals to seek medical advice for any issues or questions is always encouraged and welcome, seeking or giving a diagnosis over the internet is dangerous. We are not doctors and we do not know every person’s medical history. Individuals with medical questions should seek out medical help from qualified professionals, We will remove inappropriate comments and remove, block or hide followers who violate this rule.
No Solicitation
Please do not seek to solicit funds or donation requests on our social media without our prior, written approval. Additionally, self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links are not permitted. We will remove, block or hide followers and comments which violate this rule.
Violence, Incitement or Self-harm
We strive to prevent potential offline harm that may be related to content or comments on Lupus LA’s social platforms. We understand that people commonly express disdain or disagreement by calling for violence. This includes threatening Lupus LA, its employees, other community members or themselves (self-harm).
We remove followers and comments that reference aspirational or conditional threats directed toward Lupus LA, its employees or anyone in the community
If we believe there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public or personal safety, we will report such claims to law enforcement. We do our best to distinguish between exaggerated language and credible threats, but ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own communications, actions and well-being.

The respective provider of Social Media assumes the data protection obligations towards you as the user, such as information on data processing, and is the contact person for your rights.

However, you are also welcome to contact us via the contact points described in our Website Privacy Policy or in our Legal Notice if this should become necessary and we will then forward the request to the respective provider, if necessary.
