Clear labeling
Paid or sponsored content should use clear, understandable disclosure near the promoted content when required.
Advertising & Promotion Policy
Paid visibility should be recognizable as paid visibility.
ITSSOSO protects the difference between organic local relevance and commercial amplification. Boosts, sponsorships, partnerships, endorsements, and ads must not mislead users about why content is being shown.
Trust still applies
Payment does not override safety, accuracy, ownership, city context, or freshness requirements.
Private data stays private
Private Event Room content and private conversations are not advertising inventory.
Boosts and sponsored placement
Boosts may increase visibility for eligible businesses, signals, public events, Marketplace listings, or other qualified public content. ITSSOSO may label boosted, sponsored, paid, or promoted placement so users can distinguish commercial amplification from organic discovery.
Advertising must be truthful
Advertisers may not make deceptive claims, conceal mandatory material terms, misrepresent prices or availability, impersonate independent editorial coverage, or use misleading images, endorsements, testimonials, reviews, or scarcity claims.
Endorsements and material connections
Creators, partners, businesses, employees, affiliates, and others who endorse a product, venue, event, or service should clearly disclose material connections when required, including payment, free products/services, employment, ownership, family relationships, affiliate compensation, or other valuable consideration.
Sponsored editorial and partnerships
If ITSSOSO publishes sponsored guides, city partnerships, branded content, or paid editorial packages, the commercial relationship should be disclosed clearly. Paid content should not be represented as independent editorial judgment.
Prohibited advertising
ITSSOSO may reject or remove advertising that is illegal, fraudulent, discriminatory, unsafe, counterfeit, sexually exploitative, malicious, misleading, privacy-invasive, or inconsistent with platform policies.
Privacy and ad measurement
If ITSSOSO enables advertising or measurement practices that trigger privacy-consent or opt-out requirements, the applicable controls and disclosures must be implemented as described in the Privacy and Cookie Policies.
