Hate Speech

Popcorn provides users with a community, where fun with sex and a safe dating experience stand in the forefront. We want to create a fair and efficient exchange between all members to make it possible for client and sex workers to be equal and find pleasurable and safe sex contacts through their profiles.

We understand the importance of an open space for expression and diversity which can only be achieved by nor permitting any kind of hate speech, threats or other violent acts that endanger an inclusive community.

or other characteristics. It is often aimed towards demeaning, intimidating, or encouraging violence against the targeted individuals or certain groups. Hate speech is prohibited on Popcorn, as we are promoting equality, respect and social harmony.
