Real-person resident policy (Little Lives)
DRAFT. Not legal advice. Last updated: [DATE TBD].
In Little Lives, you fill an island with "residents". A resident can be invented, based on you, or based on someone who agreed. This policy covers the last two.
The rules
- Invented by default. A resident is invented unless the person it is based on is you or has agreed. Each resident carries a likeness label: invented, self or consented.
- You, or someone who agreed. On a shared island, a resident based on a real person exists only if that person moves in themselves or approves a one-tap invite. You may not make a resident of a real person who has not agreed.
- Solo play stays private. In solo play, a resident "based on a friend" stays private to you: no clips, shared keepsakes, exports or public posts of that resident.
- Take-down at any time. Anyone can have their likeness removed from any island, at any time, with no reason needed. This overrides the island owner. Email [EMAIL TBD] or use the in-app control [CONFIRM when built]. We aim to act within [DAYS TBD] days.
- No jokes at a real person's expense. The Game Master is told never to joke about a real person's body, identity, health, money or private life, and not to bring in facts from outside the game. Jokes aim at situations, not at the people behind residents.
- Romance is opt-in. Off by default. Allowed only for adults, only if the owner of each resident opts in, and never in kids mode. Nothing sexual, ever.
- Minors. Loudroll is 18+. A resident may not be based on a real person under 18, including your own child. A parent-hosted kids mode is not part of this launch; if added, it will use invented or family residents only. [LAWYER: confirm; COPPA and state minors' laws.]
- No targets. Do not create residents of celebrities, politicians, coworkers or exes to mock or harass them.
- No deception. Do not use a resident to impersonate a real person to others.
Reports
Email [EMAIL TBD] with the island and resident. We may remove the resident, the island or the account. See the Community Rules.
