B) License you grant to Advocacy Links
By submitting User Content, you grant Advocacy Links a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publish, display, and distribute that User Content only as needed to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service and to enforce this Agreement.
C) We may remove content
We may remove, limit visibility of, or restrict access to User Content at any time if we believe it violates this Agreement or creates risk or harm.
6) Required Safety Tools: Filtering, Reporting, Blocking, and Response Time
Because the Service includes user-generated content, we provide and enforce the following:
A) Filtering / reducing objectionable content
We use reasonable measures to help reduce objectionable content. These may include keyword filters, automated screening, limits on posting, and/or holding some content for review.
B) Reporting (“Flagging”) objectionable content
Users can report User Content or user accounts using in-Service reporting tools. If a reporting tool is not available for a specific area of the Service, users can report concerns by contacting Support at Info@Advocacy-Links.net.

Users can block other users. When you block someone:
- Their content is removed from your feed/view immediately.
- They may be prevented from contacting you through the Service (depending on features).
- The block may notify Advocacy Links so we can review for abuse and policy violations.

We will review reports of objectionable content within 24 hours. If we confirm a violation, we will remove the content and may suspend or permanently ban the user who posted it.
E) Emergencies
The Service is not an emergency service. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services right away.
7) Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination
