This policy aims to create a safe environment where people can trust and hold one another accountable. Authenticity is the cornerstone of our community. It helps create a community where people are accountable to each other, and to us, in meaningful ways. We want to allow for the range of diverse ways that identity is expressed across our global community, while also preventing impersonation and identity misrepresentation.
