IndieMa/Infopluto Media Works Pvt Ltd is a professional communication platform designed to connect Indian nationals for collaboration, self-growth, and positive social interaction. Unlike traditional social media, IndieMa does not use friend requests, followers, or metrics-driven engagement models, emphasizing meaningful connections over a numbers game. Users are expected to engage in respectful, professional, and lawful communication. Any content or behavior deemed inappropriate, including but not limited to vulgarity, profanity, hate speech, harassment, or promotion of illegal activities (e.g., gambling, drug use, or other harmful substances), is strictly prohibited.
IndieMa/Infopluto Media Works Pvt Ltd reserves the absolute right to moderate, filter, or remove any content or user account at its sole discretion if it violates the Platform’s ethics, policies, or applicable Indian laws. Our global negative keyword filters and content moderation team actively monitor the Platform to ensure compliance. Prohibited content includes, but is not limited to:
Violations may result in the immediate deletion of posts, suspension, or permanent blocking of user accounts without notice or explanation. All posts containing prohibited content, including those related to religious hatred, negative remarks about any religion, caste, creed, or race, hate speech against other IndieMa members or individuals, promoting harmful products or services, or using meaningless characters or the user’s own name in post titles, will lead to immediate account blockage, and such posts shall be removed from IndieMa. Additionally, the IndieMa moderation team reserves the right to move posts deemed unsuitable or constituting hate speech to a category not easily findable by users, with or without notifying the user. The IndieMa moderation team also has the right to eliminate content promoting harmful products or services that may cause harm to children, adults, or any living being, as well as content that may cause harm in the future, negative news content, content causing grueling thoughts, or content with meaningless characters or inappropriate use of user names in post titles, from being shown to users. In severe cases, such as content promoting illegal activities, hatred, or harm, IndieMa/Infopluto Media Works Pvt Ltd may report violations to Indian law enforcement authorities without prior notice to the user. Users are solely responsible for the content they post, and IndieMa/Infopluto Media Works Pvt Ltd does not verify the accuracy, truthfulness, or legality of user-generated content.
