Content Policy & Acceptable Use

Last updated: [LAUNCH DATE] Effective: [LAUNCH DATE] Version: 1.0

Miragefield is designed to give creators more freedom than most major commercial AI image services, while keeping the platform safe, legal, and welcome to payment processors and partners. This Content Policy explains what you may and may not create with Miragefield. It is incorporated into our Terms of Service by reference, and a violation of this Policy is a violation of the Terms.

We approach this policy with three commitments: First, we will not pretend our rules are stricter than they are — we describe what is actually prohibited, clearly. Second, we draw the line firmly at content that is illegal, causes serious harm to real people, or threatens the survival of the platform. Third, we publish this policy so that you, regulators, and our payment partners can hold us accountable to it.

1. Absolutely prohibited

The following content is prohibited under all circumstances. No prompt-engineering, character-coding, claim of artistic intent, or other workaround is permitted. Violations will result in immediate account termination, content deletion, and, where required by law, reporting to law enforcement and relevant authorities.

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)

  • Any sexual or sexualized content depicting minors, whether photographic, illustrated, or AI-generated, real or fictional.
  • Any content that sexualizes individuals depicted as minors, regardless of any claim of adult age or fictional status.
  • We use technical detection systems including NSFW classifiers and PhotoDNA-equivalent hash matching where available. We report CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to relevant national authorities as required by law.

Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and deepfakes of real people

  • Sexual, nude, or intimate imagery of any identifiable real person without their documented consent.
  • Realistic depictions of identifiable real people in defamatory, deceptive, or reputation-damaging scenarios.
  • "Face swap" or "undress" attacks using uploaded photos of real people.
  • Synthetic media impersonating real individuals — including public figures, celebrities, and politicians — in ways likely to mislead viewers about what the person said or did.

Content facilitating serious real-world harm

  • Detailed visual instructions for creating weapons, explosives, or other dangerous devices.
  • Content promoting or facilitating violence against any person or group.
  • Content celebrating, glorifying, or promoting terrorism, mass violence, or the perpetrators of such acts.
  • Content promoting self-harm or suicide.

Other illegal content

  • Content that infringes the intellectual property of others where you do not have rights or a valid license.
  • Content used to commit fraud, including forged identity documents, counterfeit currency, or fake credentials.
  • Content that violates applicable law in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction where it is published or distributed.

2. Restricted — allowed with conditions

The following categories are permitted but subject to additional rules. Where this Policy says content must be "marked," that means tagged with the appropriate content flag in the Service so it is excluded from public galleries and is subject to age-restricted access.

2.1 Adult content (NSFW)

Miragefield permits the generation of explicit adult content depicting fictional, adult characters, subject to all of the following conditions:

  • All depicted persons must be unambiguously adult. Visual indicators of adulthood must be present; ambiguity will be treated as a violation.
  • Such content must be marked NSFW within the Service.
  • Such content may not be published to public galleries or shared via Miragefield's social features.
  • You may not depict real people, identified by name, likeness, or unambiguous reference, in such content.
  • Adult content may be unavailable in certain markets where its provision is restricted by law. We may geo-restrict access without notice based on local legal developments.

2.2 Public figures and historical figures

You may depict named public figures (politicians, celebrities, athletes, historical figures) in clearly non-deceptive contexts — for example, stylized illustration, satire that no reasonable viewer would mistake for reality, or editorial commentary. You may not:

  • Place them in realistic scenarios designed to mislead viewers about real events;
  • Place them in sexual or intimate content of any kind;
  • Depict them in scenarios that constitute defamation in the applicable jurisdiction.

Living public figures may request removal of content depicting them by contacting [ABUSE EMAIL].

2.3 Violence and disturbing imagery

Depictions of violence in fictional or artistic contexts (action scenes, horror illustration, historical depiction) are permitted but must be marked appropriately. Excessive gore, content that glorifies real-world atrocities, and content created to harass or distress identifiable individuals is not permitted.

2.4 Political content

Political imagery, satire, and commentary are permitted. Synthetic media that impersonates real political figures in ways designed to deceive voters about real political events is not permitted, particularly during election periods in the relevant jurisdiction. We may temporarily tighten these rules during major election cycles in our key markets.

2.5 Branded and trademarked content

You may not use Miragefield to produce content using third-party trademarks, logos, or brand assets in ways that would constitute trademark infringement, false endorsement, or passing off in the applicable jurisdiction. Fair use and parody exceptions apply where recognized by local law, but the burden of legality rests with you.

3. Daily limits and abuse prevention

To protect platform stability and to limit abuse, certain rate limits apply:

  • Daily generation cap: 200 images per account per day on the Base Tier. Bulk generation patterns inconsistent with single-user use may trigger review.
  • Automated access: only via our official API and within published rate limits. Scraping or browser automation is not permitted.
  • Account multiplication: creating multiple accounts to evade limits or bans is prohibited.

4. How we enforce this Policy

4.1 Detection

We use a combination of:

  • Pre-generation prompt filtering for keywords associated with prohibited categories;
  • Post-generation NSFW classification models (such as Falconsai/nsfw_image_detection or equivalent);
  • Hash matching for known CSAM where available through industry programs;
  • User reports submitted through in-product reporting tools or to [ABUSE EMAIL];
  • Trust & safety review of flagged content by trained human reviewers.

4.2 Actions we may take

Depending on the severity and pattern of violation, we may:

  • Block a specific generation attempt and notify you of the reason;
  • Remove content from public-facing parts of the Service;
  • Issue a warning;
  • Restrict your account's features (for example, removing access to certain models or markets);
  • Suspend your account temporarily;
  • Terminate your account permanently and retain abuse records as described in our Privacy Policy;
  • Refer the matter to law enforcement where required by law or where serious harm is suspected.

4.3 Appeals

If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you may appeal by writing to [APPEALS EMAIL] within 30 days of the action. We will review appeals within 14 days. Decisions on CSAM, terrorism, or other severe violations are not subject to appeal.

5. Reporting violations

If you encounter content on Miragefield that you believe violates this Policy, or if you have been depicted in content without your consent:

How to report

For most violations: use the in-product "Report" button, or email [ABUSE EMAIL].

For CSAM: email [CSAM EMAIL] with subject line "URGENT: CSAM". You may also report directly to NCMEC at cybertipline.org or to your national child protection authority.

For non-consensual intimate imagery of yourself: email [ABUSE EMAIL] with subject line "NCII Removal Request". We will prioritize these requests.

For DMCA copyright complaints: see Section 6 of the Terms of Service.

6. Why these lines

Some users want explicit explanation of why a service like ours draws the lines it does. We think that's a fair ask, and so:

  • CSAM is absolute because it is universally illegal, it directly harms children — including when synthetic, because realistic CSAM normalizes child sexualization and complicates law enforcement work — and because no part of our business model depends on it.
  • NCII and deepfakes of real people are prohibited because they cause severe, identifiable harm to specific individuals, are increasingly illegal in major jurisdictions, and are the single most common reason AI services face country-level bans and payment processor terminations.
  • Adult content is permitted but constrained because adult creative expression is legitimate, but payment processors enforce strict rules, and public-gallery adult content draws the kind of regulatory attention that ends platforms.
  • Public figures are partially restricted because their depiction has legitimate artistic and journalistic uses, but synthetic media that misrepresents what real people said or did is one of the most dangerous capabilities of generative AI.

7. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the law, the technology, and our understanding of harm evolve. We will notify users of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect, where reasonably practical, and post the new version at /content-policy. The "Last updated" date reflects the current version.
