Siricy Blogger & Publisher Policy

Last Updated: September 3, 2026

Welcome to Siricy.

Siricy allows users, bloggers, journalists, publishers, creators, organizations, and businesses to publish articles, news, opinions, reviews, stories, and other written content on the platform.

Publishing on Siricy is a privilege that comes with responsibility. By creating, publishing, or distributing content through Siricy, you agree to comply with this Blogger & Publisher Policy, Siricy's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws.

---

1. Publisher Responsibility

You are responsible for everything you publish on Siricy.

You must ensure that:

- You have the legal right to publish your content.

- Your content does not unlawfully infringe another person's copyright or intellectual-property rights.

- Your content is not deliberately misleading or fraudulent.

- Your content does not unlawfully expose another person's private information.

- Your content complies with applicable laws.

- You have appropriate permission to use photographs, videos, music, documents, trademarks, logos, or other materials belonging to third parties.

Siricy provides publishing tools but does not transfer responsibility for published content to Siricy.

---

2. Original Content and Copyright

Publishers are strongly encouraged to publish original work.

You must not copy, reproduce, republish, or substantially reproduce another person's article, blog post, news report, book, website content, photograph, video, or other copyrighted material without authorization or a lawful basis.

Simply changing the title, rearranging paragraphs, replacing a few words, translating an article, or adding minor edits does not necessarily make copied content original.

Where appropriate, you may quote limited portions of another work for purposes such as commentary, criticism, reporting, research, or review, provided that the use complies with applicable law and proper attribution is provided.

---

3. Plagiarism and Content Theft

Siricy does not permit plagiarism or deliberate content theft.

Examples include:

- Copying another publisher's article and presenting it as your own.

- Removing the original author's name or credit.

- Copying articles from websites without permission.

- Reproducing large portions of copyrighted publications.

- Scraping websites and automatically republishing their content.

- Copying another Siricy publisher's work without authorization.

- Making minor modifications to stolen content and claiming it as original.

Repeated plagiarism may result in publishing restrictions, suspension, or permanent removal of the account.

---

4. News and Current Events

Publishers covering news or current events must make reasonable efforts to ensure that information is accurate and not intentionally misleading.

When reporting information obtained from another source, publishers should:

- Identify the source where appropriate.

- Distinguish verified facts from allegations or opinions.

- Avoid deliberately misleading headlines.

- Correct significant errors when discovered.

- Avoid presenting rumors as confirmed facts.

Siricy does not guarantee the accuracy of independently published news or opinions.

5. Allegations, Defamation, and Accusations

Publishers must exercise particular care when writing about identifiable individuals, businesses, organizations, or public figures.

Do not publish unverified accusations of:

- Criminal activity

- Fraud

- Theft

- Sexual misconduct

- Corruption

- Abuse

- Dishonesty

- Serious professional misconduct

- Other serious wrongdoing

If reporting an allegation that is legitimately newsworthy, clearly distinguish allegations from established facts and provide appropriate context.

Publishers should avoid unnecessarily damaging another person's reputation through false, reckless, or misleading statements.

Siricy may restrict or remove content where there is a credible complaint, legal concern, or violation of this policy.

6. Privacy and Personal Information

Do not publish another person's private or sensitive information without a lawful basis or appropriate permission.

This may include:

- Private phone numbers

- Home addresses

- Private email addresses

- Financial information

- Login credentials

- Identification documents

- Confidential documents

- Other information that could reasonably put a person at risk

Public figures do not lose all rights to privacy simply because they are well known.

Publishers are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights or permission to use media included in their publications.

This applies to:

- Photographs

- Videos

- Music

- Illustrations

- Logos

- Audio recordings

Do not assume that an image found through Google, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, or another website is free to use.

8. Licensed and Syndicated Content

Publishers may publish content created by another person or organization where they have appropriate authorization or a lawful license.

Where applicable, publishers should:

- Credit the original creator or publisher.

- Follow the terms of the license.

- Include attribution where required.

- Avoid implying that licensed content was originally created by them.

Having permission to publish content does not necessarily mean that the publisher owns the copyright.

---

9. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI-assisted content is permitted on Siricy provided that the publisher remains responsible for the final publication.

Publishers must not use AI to:

- Generate deliberately false information.

- Create fake news presented as real.

- Impersonate people or organizations.

- Generate fraudulent documents.

- Mass-produce spam.

- Plagiarize or reproduce copyrighted works unlawfully.

Publishers should review AI-generated material for accuracy, originality, misleading claims, and potential copyright issues before publication.

17. Political and Public-Interest Content

Political discussion, public affairs, elections, government policies, and social issues may be discussed on Siricy.

Allegation — a claim that has not been established as fact.

---

18. Impersonation and Misrepresentation

- You are an official Siricy representative when you are not.

- You are another identifiable person.

- A company or organization has authorized your publication when it has not.

Parody and satire may be permitted when they are clearly presented in context and are not used to facilitate fraud.
