Terms of use
Updated November 2026The deal
ConCensus is a place to read, vote and talk about public questions. Use it in good faith and treat other people the way you would in a room with them.
What you post
You own what you write. By posting, you let ConCensus show it to other users. Do not post threats, harassment, hate, doxxing, spam, or anything illegal. We remove content that breaks these rules and can suspend accounts that keep breaking them. Every post has a report button, and you can block anyone.
No tolerance for abuse
Objectionable content and abusive users are removed. When several people report a post, it is hidden right away until a person reviews it, and every report is reviewed within 24 hours. Accounts that keep breaking the rules are suspended from posting.
Points and coins
Points, ranks and coins are for fun and have no cash value.
What we are not
The news, briefings and policy notes are written to be accurate and plain, but they are not legal, financial or voting advice. Check with your election office before you rely on anything here to vote.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters, the app will tell you before it applies.
