Do they allow, say, porn, or white nationalist videos? I'm always curious exactly where platforms set the bounds.

Porn and hate speech are specifically proscribed in their TOS.

I seem to recall them explaining that porn is only banned because they might otherwise get in trouble with their payment processors.
That's correct, they would.
This seems like a vague prohibition:

> Do not post false or misleading information

Depending on how this is interpreted/enforced, it could make the platform much more or much less attractive to politically-oriented creators.

Some things are easily proven false, like anti-vaxxers or climate change denial. Or even flat earthers.

The gray area for false/misleading information isn't as large as people would think.
