Hey
I wanted to let you know (in case you didn’t know already) that Wattpad has changed their rules regarding what content they allow on this app. They are using ai to enforce these new rules, which is obviously a very inaccurate and unreliable tool, and are permanently removing books from this platform which has ‘broken their rules’.
I have copied the new rules below. Please please please make copies of your book. I can’t afford to lose it forever!
“We allow a wide range of creative expression, including mature and challenging topics.
However, we remove content that is:
• Created primarily for sexual arousal
• Exploitative or harmful
• Intended to shock, glorify harm, or promote hate
• Copyrighted works of others without their explicit legal consent
Banned/Not Allowed
• Pornographic content (created primarily for sexual arousal)
• Any sexual content involving minors. Wattpad maintains zero tolerance for Child Sexual Explicit Material (SEM). We may report suspected CSEM directly to relevant law enforcement authorities worldwide.
• Sexual exploitation, coercion, or non-consensual acts that are glorified
• Sexual roleplay, solicitation, or messaging
• Illegal sex acts in violation of applicable local and international laws, including but not limited to, bestiality, necrophilia, incest, or child sexual exploitation and abuse material.”
I will forward this to other author’s profiles to make them aware too.
