Community guidelines
Last updated:
On this page
These guidelines set out what is and isn't allowed on Dziri. They apply to everyone: members, creators, sellers, advertisers and brands.
1. The short version
Treat other people the way you would treat your neighbour. Don't harass, don't scam, don't impersonate, don't promote illegal goods and don't bury people in spam. Disagree like adults. If you build an audience, take care of it.
2. Not allowed
- Harassment, threats and doxxing. Targeted abuse, threats of violence, and sharing someone's personal information (address, family details, identity documents) without their consent.
- Sexual content involving minors. Zero tolerance. It is reported to the Algerian authorities.
- Violent extremism and terrorism. Including glorification, recruitment and operational content.
- Scams and impersonation. Pretending to be someone you're not, fake giveaways, phishing for one-time codes or bank details, and fake “official” accounts.
- Illegal goods. Drugs, weapons, counterfeit money, stolen items and illicit medicines: listing them, advertising them or helping to sell them.
- Hate speech. Attacks on people based on ethnicity, religion, region, gender, sexual orientation, disability or migration status.
- Non-consensual intimate images. Sharing or re-sharing them without the explicit consent of every person shown.
- Gambling. Promoting gambling, including offshore betting, is not allowed.
3. Allowed, with limits
- Paid content. If a brand pays you for a post, including through a brand mission, say so clearly. Sponsored placements that Dziri shows in the feed carry a “Sponsored” label.
- AI-generated content. Synthetic images, video or voices that depict real people must be clearly disclosed. Satire and obvious parody are fine.
- Strong opinions. Political, religious and social criticism is welcome. Personal attacks dressed up as criticism are not.
- Mature content. Artistic nudity, explicit lyrics and intense imagery are not allowed in the feed or in marketplace listings.
4. Buying and selling
- Accurate descriptions. Photos must match the actual product. Stock photos are fine for retail items; misleading studio photos of handmade items are not.
- Honest pricing. No inflated “original price”. A sale price must reflect a real earlier price.
- Real availability. If you can't deliver within the time you state, don't list it.
- Verification. Depending on how much you sell, you may be asked to verify your identity or your business.
5. Reporting
To report a post in the feed, open More options, choose Report and pick a reason. Profiles, messages and listings can be reported the same way, and you can block a member from their profile. We don't tell the person who reported them.
If something is urgent, write to safety@dziri.app with links to what you saw. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the police or emergency services first.
6. How we enforce these guidelines
What we do
- Reports are reviewed.
- Content that breaks these guidelines can be limited or removed.
- Accounts that break them seriously or repeatedly can be suspended or banned.
- Some of these steps are automated.
What you can expect
- A notice that tells you which guideline applied whenever we act on your content or account.
- Strikes you can see in your account settings, with repeated violations leading to suspension.
- Human review for hard cases, and before any account is banned.
7. Appeals
If you think we got a decision wrong, appeal from the app or write to appeals@dziri.app. Include a link to the content or your profile, the action that was taken and why you think it was wrong. We aim to reply quickly.
- Every decision has an appeal button in the app.
- A different person reviews your appeal, and the decision and its reasons are sent back to you.
8. The Algerian context
These guidelines are written for the Algerian context and apply alongside Algerian law. Where local custom and these guidelines differ, we lean toward letting people decide among themselves what is appropriate, but the lines in section 2 are not negotiable.
9. Changes to these guidelines
We update these guidelines when the rules change. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
