Are there any restrictions on the kinds of photos and videos I can post on Eons?

What a great question – we’re glad you asked! And we’re glad to see Members making the most of Eons by sharing photos and videos. In general, the photos and videos you post are considered Member Content under the terms of Eons’ TOU, and should comply with the TOU. For instance, they should not be pornographic or sexually explicit, and they should have been created by you or, if created by someone else, you should have authorization to publish them. For more guidance, see the sections of the TOU entitled “Content and Comments Posted by Eons Members” and “Rules of Conduct.”

There are also some special considerations to keep in mind when posting visual images in which other people are identifiable. Everyone has a right of privacy and a right of publicity – the rights to control who sees their image and who has access to information about them. To avoid violating another person’s privacy and publicity rights, you should get their explicit authorization to post photos and videos in which they are identifiable. (Note: this general rule has some exceptions for celebrities and public figures).

By posting anything on the website, including photos and videos, Members represent that they either have created that content or have authorization to publish it. Eons relies on this representation by Members, and we don’t question it. But we take privacy very seriously – both Members’ privacy, and anyone else’s – so if we do receive notice from anyone that their image has been posted on Eons without their authorization, we may elect to remove that content and/or notify the poster of the complaint anonymously.
