What are Educational, Documentary, Scientific and Artistic purposes? (EDSA)

Limited exceptions exist for content that might violate our Community Guidelines, but that serves a legitimate Educational, Documentary, Scientific and Artistic (EDSA) purpose. We may allow videos to remain on the platform if the context is clear that it meets these guidelines. 

If you are posting content that you believe falls under the EDSA exception, you may want to indicate that in the title of the video. 


For example:

A video more likely to meet our EDSA guidelines might include brief nudity as part of the wider story in a theater performance or footage of a crime with context about why the crime happened and when. 


Videos less likely to meet our EDSA guidelines include compilation videos of nudity from various sources or graphical medical videos intended to shock or gross out the viewer with no additional context.
