Community Guidelines for PICO Virtual Experiences

At PICO, we are building an integrated XR platform that bridges connections, inspires the community, and empowers developers, creators, and businesses.

Our Community Guidelines establish a set of norms and common codes of conduct that provide a safe and welcoming space for everyone. These guidelines apply to everyone and everything on PICO. In addition to proactively enforcing them using a mix of technology and human moderation, we encourage our users to use our reporting tools to report any content and/or behavior they believe violates our Community Guidelines. Depending on the severity, content and/or behavior that violates our Community Guidelines will trigger warnings, and may be restricted or removed. Persistent or egregious issues may result in users being suspended or permanently removed from applications on our platform and/or from our platform. From time to time we may update these Community Guidelines in order to address new behaviors and risks so that we can continue to keep PICO a safe place for all users.

Bullying, hateful or violent behaviors

Do not engage in behaviors that are abusive, hateful, or that could lead to physical (virtual or real-world) harm, such as:

• Harassing or bullying behavior, such as stalking or repeatedly following others against their wishes, or making threats of real-life sexual or physical assault
