This AUP is divided into three types of laws:
Recommendations are as such not rules as this is soft elastic rules with some room for stretching and bending as long nobody is hurt or suffers and mostly written to help you make good tooth's.
Guidelines are rules we pledge you to follow, this is to make matrix .rocks a pleasant place for the Fediverse and not at least My Privacy DNS official and public communication channel. Guidelines are soft rules, that can leads to suspension of a user account.
Rules must be obeyed, these are laws. Breaking any rules will lead to suspension of your user account.
Contents Policy This is a Rule
Sensitive Contents This chapter is concerning Sexual explicit contents
Adult
Parental Advisory
Porn

XXX
Adult contents is accepted, but not at the big distribution central for free, as it will eat up our disk space rather quickly.
If anyone would like to use this server as such, they will donate to the cost of the servers.
The donation sum will be calculated as follows:
You are required to cover this costs in advance.
You shall use the contents warning (#cw) in cases where your message contains explicit text material.
You shall mark all explicit media contents as sensitive according to Sensitive content definition
Defining Sensitive Content matrix.rocks and My Privacy DNS uses Matrix's adult contents definitions as guidelines, unless otherwise defined below.
In addition to the listed rules, the following supersedes My Privacy DNS rules:
The Art and Education exception, do not cover for explicit nudity [1]
Explicit Nudity By explicit nudity, we mean that nipples, vaginal, penis or anus openings are revealed.
Examples of Explicit Nudity The following links represent the default perspective for how to define sensitive contents, and how to mark toot's with `CW` and Attachments as sensitive contents

Border line examples Example where the Content warning is not required, as they do not differ much from a bikini on any public beach.
The verdict on the following examples might swing both ways as nothing is revealed, but the image can have some sexuality, and also artistic and/or just ordinary normal situations.

Artistic Examples The following are links to Artistic Examples, that contains some nudity in a none pornographic way.
The important here, is the purpose of the contents never was created as porn, but solely for the sake of art. This can be any kind, such painted and photographic images.

Erotic Art This is a Guideline
If and when you post artistic contents, you are giving a bit more freedom to avoid using the Content Warning .
Our guidelines will always follow My Privacy DNS guidelines to this letter.
You can always stay updated through the Matrix README
What should consider art, is content, that can be found on museums of arts and similar places.
We acknowledge this is a broad spectrum to operate within.
Meaning the ruling will be a judgement from case to case by admins and moderators.
We do not shoot people for trying to find the line between using and not have to use the Content Warning at their posted content.
