Content policy
Pulse is the AIESEC network's record of what is happening across the organisation. This policy sets out what belongs here, what does not, and what happens when something crosses the line.
Last updated: 14 August 2026
What belongs here
- Announcements, decisions, policy and deadlines from AI, regions, MCs and LCs
- Entity updates, results, case studies and member stories
- Congresses, conferences, webinars and other events
- Calls for applications, open roles and exchange pushes
- Toolkits, decks and guidelines
What does not
- Confidential or restricted material. Audience targeting decides relevance, not access. Assume any post can reach any AIESEC member. Anything genuinely confidential belongs somewhere else.
- Personal data about other people published without their knowledge — contact details, photographs where the subject would not expect publication, health or disciplinary information.
- Harassment, hate, or content targeting a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other protected characteristic.
- Misinformation presented as AIESEC fact, particularly about programmes, safety or partner organisations.
- Commercial promotion unrelated to AIESEC, and anything you were paid to post.
- Material you do not have the right to publish — images, text or media belonging to someone else.
- Party-political campaigning. AIESEC is politically neutral.
Publishing standards
- Publish as your entity, not anonymously. Every post carries its author and entity.
- Describe every image for members using a screen reader. The composer requires it.
- Say when something applies to and who it is for.
- Correct errors by editing and saying what changed, rather than deleting quietly.
How moderation works
Any member can report a post or comment with a reason. Reports route first to a moderator in the publishing entity, and escalate to global moderation when they are severe, repeated, or unhandled past the triage window.
A moderator can:
- Dismiss the report;
- Hide the content — it disappears from the feed, the author is told why, and nothing is deleted;
- Hide and restrict the author's posting or commenting rights for a period;
- Escalate to global moderation.
Every one of those decisions is recorded, with the moderator, the reason and the time.
Hiding, not deleting
Moderation hides content; it does not destroy it. That is deliberate — an appeal is only meaningful if the decision can be reversed, and a deleted post cannot be restored.
Content is permanently deleted only for a lawful erasure request or a legal takedown. Both require a separate authorisation and are themselves recorded.
Appeals
If your content is hidden or your rights are restricted, you will be told why and you can appeal. An appeal is decided by a moderator who did not make the original decision. If it is upheld, the content is restored.
Automated decisions
No content decision on Pulse is made automatically. Software may flag or rank reports for attention; a person decides every outcome.
Who owns this policy
The AI Communications and Information Management portfolios own this policy and the publishing rights that go with it. Changes are announced in the feed before taking effect.
