Our Commitments to You

EAI Young Developer is an open, K-12 robotic-programming community where children, teenagers, parents, teachers, and adult community contributors build, share, and remix code projects ("Skills") that run in our simulator and on FF Embodied AI ("EAI") Brain robots. Our community exists for one purpose: to give young creators a safe, kind, and inspiring place to learn how to think computationally and bring ideas to life.

These Community Guidelines (the "Guidelines") are the official rules of the Service. They explain what is allowed, what is not, how we review content, what happens if a rule is broken, and how you can appeal a moderation decision. They apply to every person who uses the Service — whether you are a 6-year-old running your first block-coded Skill, a 15-year-old publishing a Remix, a teacher curating a classroom project, or a parent reviewing your child's work.

We make four promises to every member of this community:

We will moderate fairly and in good faith. Our decisions will be guided by these published rules, not by who you are, where you are from, or what you believe.
We will be transparent. When we take a moderation action, we will tell you what rule was applied and why, in language a parent or older minor can understand.
We will give you a meaningful appeal. Every L1, L2, and L3 action under §4 can be appealed to a human reviewer under §5.
We will protect minors first. When child safety is at stake, we will act immediately and report to the appropriate authorities (including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, "NCMEC") as required by 18 U.S.C. §2258A.

A note for young readers. These Guidelines are written in adult language because they also serve as a legal policy. The short, friendly version designed for you is called "My Developer Promise" — see the Children and Youth Developer Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is the kid-friendly summary of these Guidelines; this document is the full, official version. Both say the same things; this one just says them in more detail and uses more grown-up words.

§1. Six Core Rules

These are the six rules that every Skill, comment, profile, account name, and interaction on the Service must follow.

Rule 1 — Be kind to others

No harassment, bullying, hate speech, threats, or doxing.

This is a community of young creators. You are expected to treat every other person here — including people you disagree with — with basic kindness. Personal attacks, name-calling, slurs, threats of violence, content targeting people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any similar characteristic, and "doxing" (publishing someone's private information to expose, embarrass, or endanger them) are not allowed.

Examples of violations: a Skill whose title insults a real person; a comment calling another user a slur; sharing a screenshot purporting to reveal another user's identity.

Rule 2 — Protect privacy, yours and others'

No real names, addresses, schools, phone numbers, emails, photos identifying minors, or other personal information about yourself or any other person — and never ask others for that information.

A safe community starts with privacy. Do not put personal information into Skill titles, code comments, on-screen text, character names, project descriptions, or community comments. Do not ask another user for their full name, age, address, school, social media handle, or phone number. If you find yourself sharing information that could identify a real child to a stranger, stop.

This rule applies equally to: information about yourself; information about another minor; and information about adults who have not given consent to be identified on the Service.

Examples of violations: a Skill that displays "Hi! I'm Emma from Lincoln Middle School in Phoenix, AZ"; a comment asking another user "what's your real name?"; an account display name that includes a phone number.

Rule 3 — Create honestly

No plagiarism; preserve Remix attribution; do not impersonate others; do not misrepresent your age.

If you build on someone else's Skill, use the platform's Remix feature so the attribution chain is preserved. Do not copy another user's Skill and republish it as your own. Do not pretend to be another user, a teacher, a celebrity, or a Platform staff member. Do not lie about your age band — age misrepresentation undermines the protections we are required by law to provide to minor users.

Examples of violations: downloading another user's Skill, changing the title, and re-uploading it as new work; creating an account that impersonates a Platform moderator; a 7-year-old setting their age to 18 to bypass parental supervision.

Rule 4 — Healthy content

No violent, sexual, self-harm, drug, alcohol, tobacco, weapon, or gambling content.

The Service is designed for users as young as 5. Skills, comments, and profiles must be age-appropriate for the entire community. This includes content that depicts, glamorizes, simulates, or instructs on: graphic violence; sexual activity or sexualized imagery (including illustrated or robotic representations); self-harm or suicide; drug, alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or cannabis use; firearms or other weapons; gambling, betting, or wagering.

Educational content that responsibly references these topics in age-appropriate contexts (e.g., a historical Skill that mentions a war, a health-education Skill about saying no to drugs) is reviewed contextually under §3.

Rule 5 — No commerce

No external links, advertisements, off-platform redirection, tips, paid services, or cryptocurrency.

EAI Young Developer is a strictly zero-commerce environment. There are no payments, no subscriptions, no tips, no virtual currency, no advertisements, and no in-app purchases on the Service. You may not use Skills, comments, profile fields, or any other surface to: advertise products or services; solicit payment, tips, or donations; promote cryptocurrency, NFTs, or tokens; link to external commercial sites; or redirect users off the Service for commercial purposes.

This rule exists both to keep the community focused on learning and to keep the Service compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and related child-protection regimes that limit commercial messaging to children.

Rule 6 — Constructive feedback only

Comments must be on-topic and constructive; no malicious put-downs, no spam.

Where comments are enabled, they are limited to 8 preset phrases plus emoji reactions; free-text commenting is not offered on the Service. Even within those limits, do not select preset phrases or emoji combinations to mock, demean, or pile on another user. Repetition of preset phrases for the purpose of spam (e.g., posting the same reaction dozens of times on the same Skill) is treated as a violation.

§2. Detailed Prohibited Content

This section enumerates specific content categories that trigger moderation action. It elaborates on §1 and is not exhaustive — we reserve the right under §10 to act on conduct that violates the spirit of these Guidelines even when not specifically listed.

§2.1 Privacy and Personal Information

The following are prohibited in any user-facing surface (Skill code text, project titles, descriptions, on-screen text, character names, profile fields, comments where enabled, support tickets that other users can see):

Real first or last names of any minor
Home, school, or work addresses
Phone numbers, email addresses, or messaging-app handles
Photographs, video, or audio recordings of minors (note: media uploads are not technically possible on the Service per §2.5 — this prohibition addresses references to such media stored off-platform)
Geolocation data more precise than a country
Government-issued identifiers (passport, national ID, Social Security number, etc.)
Login credentials, security questions, or recovery codes
Health or biometric information identifying a person
Solicitations of any of the above from another user

§2.2 Hate, Harassment, Sexual Content, Violence, Self-Harm

The following are prohibited:

Hate speech and harassment: content that attacks, dehumanizes, or incites hatred against a person or group based on a protected characteristic (race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, serious disease, or veteran status); targeted personal attacks; sustained harassment of any user.
Sexual or sexualized content: depictions of sexual activity; sexualized depictions of any person; sexualized depictions of minors in any form (illustrated, animated, robotic, or otherwise) — see also §6.
Graphic violence: realistic depictions of injury, gore, or death; glorification of mass violence or terrorism.
Self-harm and suicide: content that promotes, encourages, or instructs on self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
Threats: credible threats of violence against any identifiable person or group.

§2.3 Commerce, Advertising, Off-Platform Diversion

The following are prohibited:

External URLs of any kind in Skills, comments, or profile fields (the Platform may permit specific allowlisted educational links curated by staff; user-supplied links are not permitted)
QR codes, deep links, or other mechanisms designed to redirect users off the Service
Promotion of products, brands, services, subscriptions, or commercial events
Solicitation of payments, tips, donations, sponsorships, "boosts," or any consideration whatsoever
Promotion of cryptocurrency, tokens, NFTs, or any blockchain-asset transaction
Affiliate or referral codes
Recruiting for commercial opportunities, contests run off-platform, or paid services

§2.4 Impersonation, Manipulation, and False Behavior

The following are prohibited:

Impersonating another user, a real person, a public figure, a teacher, a Platform employee, or any official entity
Operating multiple accounts to evade moderation, inflate Remix or like counts, or simulate community engagement ("sockpuppeting")
Misrepresenting age in registration or age-band assignment
Coordinated inauthentic behavior — groups of accounts acting in concert to manipulate ranking, reviews, or appeals
Falsely reporting other users' content with the intent to cause unjustified takedowns

§2.5 Media Upload Ban

By design, the Service does not allow users to upload images, video, audio, 3D models, fonts, executable binaries, or other media files. Skills may consist only of: (a) block-editor or text-editor code; (b) assets selected from the Platform preset asset library; and (c) automatically generated thumbnails derived from those assets. This is a load-bearing safety design — it eliminates the primary vector by which user-generated platforms have historically circulated CSAM, malware, and copyright-infringing media.

Attempts to embed media files via code (e.g., inlining Base64-encoded payloads in source) are prohibited and are treated as both a §2.5 violation and, depending on content, a higher-tier violation under §6.

§2.6 Real-Person Avatars and Selfies

Profile avatars are limited to a curated set of approximately fifty (50) platform-preset illustrated avatars. Users may not upload, paste, or otherwise import custom avatar images. Skills may not display photographs purporting to depict the author or any identifiable person.

§2.7 Inducing Off-Platform Communication

The Service offers no direct messaging, no friend-of-friend exposure, no private chat, and no anonymous messaging. Attempts to circumvent this architecture by directing other users to off-platform communication channels — including, without limitation, "follow me on Discord," "DM me on Instagram," "add me on Snapchat," "text me on WhatsApp," "find me on Roblox" — are prohibited. This rule is taken extremely seriously because soliciting off-platform contact with minors is a well-documented predator-grooming pattern; violations are reviewed promptly and may be escalated under §6.

§2.8 Robot Safety Bypass

Skills that disable, bypass, override, or modify the Mandatory Safety Limits of FF EAI Brain robots — as defined in the Children and Youth Developer Agreement §8 Hardware Safety, including §8.2 Mandatory Safety Limits and §8.3 Pre-Deployment Review — are prohibited. This includes Skills that:

Disable collision avoidance, emergency-stop, or geofencing behaviors
Exceed manufacturer-specified torque, speed, or thermal envelopes
Operate hardware outside intended environments (e.g., commanding a wheeled robot to climb stairs)
Instruct or encourage users to remove hardware safety guards
Disable parental supervision or telemetry features used for safety auditing

Because such Skills can cause physical injury to children, they are treated as severe violations and may proceed directly to L3 termination under §4.

§3. Three-Layer Content Moderation

All published content on the Service is subject to a three-layer moderation system. The Service maintains internal logs of every moderation decision to support audits, appeals under §5, and trend analysis.

§3.1 Pre-publish Automated Review

Before a Skill, profile change, display name, or other user-generated content becomes visible to the community, it passes through an automated review layer that includes:

AI text moderation for the content categories described in §1 and §2
Personally identifiable information ("PII") detection for the categories enumerated in §2.1, including phone-number, email-address, and address-pattern detection in code text, descriptions, and on-screen strings
External-URL detection to enforce §2.3
Pattern scanning for known grooming language, off-platform contact-solicitation phrases, and self-harm content
High-risk tag routing: content matching any high-risk pattern is routed to 100% human review under §3.2 before publication

Automated review is non-final. A flag from automated review does not constitute a finding of violation; it triggers human review.

§3.2 Pre-publish Human Sampling

In addition to high-risk-tag routing, the Platform applies a configurable daily sampling rate to new publications that pass automated review without high-risk flags. The sampling rate is set by the Trust & Safety team and adjusted based on community volume and observed violation trends. 100% of high-risk-tagged works receive human review before publication.

Human reviewers are trained on these Guidelines, the Children and Youth Developer Agreement, and applicable child-safety law (including 18 U.S.C. §2258A reporting obligations). Decisions are recorded with reviewer ID, rule cited, and rationale, supporting the §5 appeals process.

§3.3 Post-publish Reports

Any user (or a parent on behalf of a minor user) may report any published Skill, comment, profile, or account through the in-platform report button (see §7).

Standard reports: reviewed by a human moderator within 24 hours of receipt.
Major child-safety incidents: child sexual abuse material ("CSAM"), imminent threat of suicide or self-harm, credible threats of violence, abduction or luring, and sextortion are routed to the Trust & Safety on-call queue and acted on immediately, regardless of business hours.

§4. Three-Tier Penalties

When the Platform finds a violation of these Guidelines, it applies one of three penalty tiers proportionate to the severity, intent, harm, and recurrence of the conduct.

Tier	Action	Applicable Scenarios
L1 — Content takedown	The offending Skill, comment, or profile element is removed. The account remains active. The action is recorded in the user's audit log and disclosed to the user with the rule cited and a plain-language rationale.	First-time or minor violations; ambiguous content that errs on the side of community safety; cases that can be resolved by removing or editing the specific content.
L2 — Temporary suspension	The account is suspended for a defined number of days, escalating with the severity and history of the violation (typical ranges: 3, 7, 14, 30 days). Existing published Skills remain in the catalog but are hidden from public view during suspension.	Cumulative minor violations under §3.3 strikes; a single moderate violation (e.g., harassment, age misrepresentation, repeated commerce attempts); behavior that demonstrates a pattern even if no individual incident is severe.
L3 — Permanent termination	The account is permanently disabled. The user may not re-register. Published Skills are retained in the catalog for Remix-chain integrity (under CC BY-SA 4.0 and as described in Youth Developer Agreement §6.3), but the author attribution is relabeled "[Banned account]" and links to the original profile are removed.	Severe violations: CSAM-related conduct; predatory or grooming behavior targeting minors; threats of mass violence; sextortion; persistent commercial farming; recidivism after multiple L2 suspensions; safety-bypass Skills under §2.8 that pose risk of physical harm.

The Platform may apply L1 or L2 penalties in series before resorting to L3, but is not required to do so where conduct independently warrants L3. For minor users, the parent associated with the account is notified of every L1, L2, and L3 action via the parent email on file.

§5. Appeals Mechanism

Every L1, L2, and L3 action under §4, and every pre-publish rejection under §3, is appealable.

The appeal procedure for any moderation action is governed by Children and Youth Developer Agreement §5A (Skill Review Appeals Mechanism), and in addition this Community Guidelines applies a six-month appeal window for moderation actions taken under these Guidelines. The six-month window is consistent with leading children's-platform practice (including LEGO Group and Code.org) and substantially exceeds the minimum statement-of-reasons and internal-complaint-handling thresholds of Article 20 of the EU Digital Services Act ("DSA"), to which the Platform voluntarily aligns even where not strictly applicable.

Who may appeal.

The account holder (for 18+ users)
The parent or legal guardian associated with the minor account (for users ages 5–17)
An adult contributor (teacher, parent, community contributor) on their own behalf

How to appeal.

Submit one of the following:

The in-platform Appeals Portal linked from the moderation-action notification
An email to legal@eai-kids.com with the following: account ID; date and reference number of the moderation action; rule(s) cited by the Platform; the specific grounds on which you believe the original decision was erroneous; any supplemental materials or modification notes

Platform response time. The Platform will issue a written decision within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of a complete appeal package. If the appeal is unusually complex (for example, involves third-party evidence, multi-account coordination, or law-enforcement consultation), we will notify the appellant in writing of the extension and the expected resolution date.

Possible outcomes.

Reinstatement: the account is unlocked and/or the content is restored.
Partial reinstatement: e.g., a specific element is restored but the account-level penalty stands; or the penalty tier is reduced.
Denial with explanation: the original decision is upheld; the appellant receives a written explanation referencing the specific rule and evidence.

Exception — emergency safety removals. Removals made under §3.3 for major child-safety incidents are subject to the expedited review procedure in Youth Developer Agreement §5A.4; for content reported to NCMEC or law enforcement, content cannot be restored pending the outcome of the external proceedings.

§6. Child Safety Red Lines (Safeguarding)

The following categories receive the highest priority on the Service and are addressed immediately upon detection or report, regardless of business hours.

§6.1 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

Any content meeting the definition of child sexual abuse material — including but not limited to depictions of minors in sexually explicit conduct, in any format whatsoever (photographic, illustrated, animated, computer-generated, robot-rendered, or otherwise) — is immediately frozen and reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline pursuant to the Platform's obligations under 18 U.S.C. §2258A. The associated account is disabled. The Platform cooperates fully with U.S. and foreign law-enforcement requests pertaining to CSAM investigations.

There is no appeal that reinstates CSAM-flagged content. Appeals of account-level actions taken on the basis of CSAM findings are handled directly by Trust & Safety leadership in consultation with counsel.

§6.2 Suicide and Self-Harm — Imminent Threats

Content indicating that a user is at imminent risk of suicide or serious self-harm is removed immediately and escalated to the Trust & Safety on-call team. Where the user's account information permits identification of a parent or guardian, the Platform may contact them. The user is presented in-product with crisis resources, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988, or visit 988lifeline.org) for users in the United States, and equivalent regional resources where applicable.

The Platform does not provide clinical intervention; we provide resource referrals and, where consistent with law, notification to caregivers or local authorities.

§6.3 Bullying or Harassment Causing Imminent Harm

Content forming part of an active, coordinated, or severe bullying pattern that poses imminent risk to a targeted user is removed pending review, and the originating account is suspended pending the §5 appeal window. The Platform may notify the target's parent, school (where the user is school-affiliated), or local authorities where there is credible risk of physical harm.

§6.4 Grooming Patterns

The Platform actively detects and acts on adult-to-minor grooming patterns, including but not limited to: solicitation of off-platform contact (see §2.7); requests for personal photos, identifying information, or geographic location; gifts, compliments, or attention escalating into private contact; sexualized conversation with minors. Where the patterns target minors, the Platform escalates to NCMEC and may refer to law enforcement.

§6.5 Abduction and Luring

Content reasonably believed to constitute an attempt to lure a minor to a physical meeting or to facilitate abduction is reported immediately to NCMEC and to law enforcement in the relevant jurisdiction.

§6.6 Sextortion

Content that threatens the release of sexual material in order to extort the user (including the minor or the minor's family) is removed on an emergency basis and reported to NCMEC. The Platform provides user-facing resources on responding to sextortion threats, including how to preserve evidence and contact NCMEC's "Take It Down" service.

§7. Reporting Channels

We rely on community members, parents, and adult contributors to help us see things our automated systems may miss. Use the channel that fits the situation.

Channel	Use for	How to reach
In-product Report button	Any Skill, comment, profile, or account that violates these Guidelines	The flag icon shown on each Skill page, comment, and profile
Emergency child safety	CSAM, suicide/self-harm imminent threats, grooming, abduction, luring, sextortion	`safeguarding@eai-kids.com`
General reports	Any other violation not requiring emergency response	`reporting@eai-kids.com`
Copyright / DMCA	Alleged copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. §512	See DMCA Policy
DMCA Designated Agent	Formal DMCA notices to the Platform's registered agent	`dmca@eai-kids.com`
Privacy and COPPA rights requests	Access, deletion, refusal of further collection (parents of minor users)	See Privacy Policy and COPPA Direct Notice
Appeals	Appeal of any L1/L2/L3 moderation action	In-platform Appeals Portal or `legal@eai-kids.com`

When reporting, please include: the URL or unique identifier of the content; the date you observed it; the specific rule from §1 or §2 you believe was violated; any screenshots (note: media may be attached to emails but not uploaded to the Service); and your contact information so we can follow up.

False reports. Knowingly submitting false reports for the purpose of harassing other users or causing unjustified moderation actions is itself a violation of §2.4 and may result in L1, L2, or L3 penalties against the reporting account.

§8. Repeat Offender Policy

Consistent with the framework established under 17 U.S.C. §512(i) and reflected in DMCA Policy §6 for copyright matters, the Platform maintains a separate repeat-violator track for Community Guidelines violations under these Guidelines.

A user is considered a "repeat violator" when the user has been found to have violated these Guidelines on three (3) or more separate occasions within any rolling twelve-month period, regardless of whether the individual violations were minor and resolved at L1. The Platform may, in its discretion, escalate the next penalty to L2 or L3 for any repeat violator, independent of the severity of the triggering incident.

The repeat-violator track does not override the severity-based escalation in §4 — conduct that independently warrants L3 will result in L3 even on a first violation.

For copyright-specific repeat infringers, see DMCA Policy §6.

§9. Coordination with the Youth Developer Agreement

For users who have entered into the Children and Youth Developer Agreement (the "Agreement") — including all minor users via parental consent and all 18+ developer users — these Guidelines operate as the Acceptable Use Policy referenced in the Agreement, in particular §5 Platform Operation, §5.4 Content Standards, and §9 Prohibited Uses.

Order of precedence. In case of conflict between these Guidelines and the Agreement:

The Agreement prevails for matters expressly governed by the Agreement, including (without limitation) account creation, parental consent, license grants over Skills, hardware safety obligations under Agreement §8, dispute resolution under Agreement §16, and termination effects under Agreement §15.
These Guidelines prevail for matters of day-to-day community moderation, content standards, appeals procedure (subject to §5 above, which itself defers to Agreement §5A for procedural baseline), and the three-tier penalty system in §4.

These Guidelines are also coordinated with the Privacy Policy, the COPPA Direct Notice, the DMCA Policy, the Terms of Service, and the Cookies Notice. In case of conflict between these Guidelines and any of those documents on a matter primarily addressed in the other document, the document primarily addressing the matter prevails.

§10. Good-Faith Moderation Statement (Section 230)

The Platform exercises moderation in good faith pursuant to 47 U.S.C. §230(c)(2), which provides that no provider of an interactive computer service shall be held liable for any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material the provider considers obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.

The Platform's exercise of editorial discretion under these Guidelines — including but not limited to removing Skills, suspending accounts, declining to publish content flagged in pre-publish review, restoring or refusing to restore content on appeal, and labeling banned-account works under §4 — shall not be construed as the Platform's endorsement of any user content, and shall not be construed to deprive the Platform of any safe harbor, immunity, or limitation of liability available under applicable federal, state, or foreign law, including 47 U.S.C. §230, 17 U.S.C. §512, and analogous provisions of the laws of other jurisdictions.

Nothing in these Guidelines waives the Platform's reservation of rights under the Terms of Service or the Children and Youth Developer Agreement.

§11. Modifications to These Guidelines

We may modify these Guidelines from time to time to reflect changes in law, regulator guidance, community needs, or product features.

Non-material modifications (typographical corrections, clarifications, updated contact details) take effect on posting.
Material modifications (new prohibited-content categories, changes to penalty tiers, changes to appeals procedure) take effect no earlier than thirty (30) days after notice, which is provided by (a) email to the parent email on file for minor accounts and to the account email for 18+ accounts; and (b) an in-platform banner shown to all users on next sign-in.

Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Guidelines. Users (or, for minor accounts, parents) who do not accept a material modification may terminate the account under Youth Developer Agreement §15.2 or the Terms of Service before the effective date without penalty.

Past versions of these Guidelines are archived and made available on request to legal@eai-kids.com.
