1. Overview
Live is a real-time broadcast feature designed for global communication, entertainment, education, and business. Live is governed by our Terms of Service and policy framework. Where local laws impose stricter requirements, those rules apply.
- Live may include comments, reactions, co-hosting, guests, and translated interactions.
- 6chatting may apply region-based limits to meet local laws and youth protections.
- Safety and trust are prioritized over reach, virality, or monetization.
2. Eligibility to Go Live
Live hosting is not automatically available to all accounts. Eligibility may vary by country and account type. We may require identity verification, age confirmation, account standing checks, or additional safeguards.
- Accounts must be in good standing (no active restrictions, serious violations, or ongoing investigations).
- We may require verification for certain Live capabilities (e.g., business Live, monetized Live, high-reach Live).
- We may restrict Live access based on risk signals, repeated reports, or compliance requirements.
3. Minors & Youth Safety (All Regions, incl. Australia)
6chatting is committed to protecting minors globally. Youth protections apply across all regions, including Australia, the EU/EEA, the UK, the United States, Canada, and all other jurisdictions with child safety or age-appropriate design requirements.
- Minimum age rules: Users must meet the minimum age required in their country to use Live features. In many regions, additional parental consent or youth protections may apply.
- Minor safety defaults: For accounts identified as minors, we may apply stronger defaults such as limited discoverability, restricted messaging, restricted comments, restricted gifting, and stricter Live eligibility.
- Australia: We follow youth-safety expectations aligned with Australia’s online safety regime and eSafety principles. Harmful content involving minors is strictly prohibited and may be reported to relevant authorities where required.
- Sexual content involving minors: Zero tolerance. Any sexual content involving minors, grooming behavior, or exploitation results in immediate enforcement and may be reported to law enforcement.
- Adult interaction controls: We may restrict adult–minor interactions, Live co-hosting, and viewer participation to reduce risk.

6. Safety Controls & Moderation
6chatting uses layered safeguards to protect viewers and hosts, which may include automated detection, human review, and feature controls.

- Hosts may have moderation tools (block, mute, comment filters, remove participants)
- We may require additional checks (verification, age gating, content review) for certain Live sessions
- We may disable specific features (comments, gifts, guesting) in high-risk contexts
7. Reporting & Enforcement
Users can report Live sessions during or after broadcasts. Reports are reviewed using a combination of automated signals and human moderation.
- We may pause, limit, or end Live sessions immediately if safety risk is present
- We may restrict Live access temporarily or permanently
- We may remove monetization privileges and withhold or reverse earnings tied to violations
- Abusive reporting may result in enforcement against the reporter
8. Gifts, Tips & Monetization
Live monetization is subject to eligibility and compliance. Monetization is governed by the Creator Monetization Policy.
- We may disable gifts/tips for certain accounts, regions, or risk signals
- Violation of Live rules can result in earnings forfeiture, holds, or reversals
- Fraud, manipulation, or incentivized harmful behavior results in permanent monetization removal
9. Privacy, Recording & Data
Live sessions may include public or semi-public interaction. You are responsible for respecting privacy rights and obtaining consent where required by law.
- Do not reveal sensitive personal data (IDs, addresses, bank details, private images) without lawful basis and consent
- Do not livestream others (especially minors) without consent where applicable
- We may retain limited records and logs for safety, fraud prevention, and policy enforcement
10. Legal Compliance (Global)

- We may cooperate with lawful requests from authorities consistent with applicable law
- Live access may be unavailable in certain countries or regions
