<h1>Acceptable Use Policy</h1>
|
|
<p class="docs-lead">
|
|
This Acceptable Use Policy (“<strong>AUP</strong>”) applies to use of HoneyPeer Sites, installers, and
|
|
the BridgeSwarm extension and native messaging host in connection with HoneyPeer-operated
|
|
infrastructure, distribution channels, and the public Hyperswarm network you access through them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="legal-updated">Last updated: <strong>July 27, 2026</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="purpose">1. Purpose</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
BridgeSwarm gives web pages direct access to peer-to-peer networking and local data storage.
|
|
With that power comes responsibility. This AUP describes prohibited uses so that other peers,
|
|
the shared DHT infrastructure, and the open-source community remain safe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="prohibited">2. Prohibited activities</h2>
|
|
<p>You may not use the Sites, installers, or Software to:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Violate law</strong>, including computer crime, fraud, sanctions evasion, or unlawful surveillance;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Attack systems or peers</strong> by scanning, exploiting, flooding, or accessing systems, networks, or peer connections without authorization;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Distribute malware</strong> such as ransomware, trojans, botnet command-and-control, or other malicious code over BridgeSwarm connections or Hyper* data stores;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Traffic in illegal content</strong>, including child sexual abuse material, or use the P2P transport to store or distribute content that is illegal to possess or share in your jurisdiction;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Abuse the DHT and swarm</strong> by flooding topics, spamming peers, sybil-attacking discovery, or otherwise degrading the shared public Hyperswarm network for other users;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Interfere with HoneyPeer infrastructure</strong> through DDoS, credential stuffing, scraping that degrades service, or bypassing rate limits on our Sites;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Misrepresent identity</strong> by impersonating HoneyPeer, BridgeSwarm, or another person, peer, or entity;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Infringe IP</strong> by hosting or distributing content over BridgeSwarm connections that you do not have rights to, in a way that unlawfully uses our distribution channels or brand;</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Harass or harm</strong> other peers or users by threatening, stalking, doxxing, or encouraging violence.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="operator">3. Peer & host responsibilities</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Every BridgeSwarm user runs their own native messaging host and is responsible for their own topics,
|
|
peer allowlists/denylists, firewall rules, and data. HoneyPeer is not responsible for how you
|
|
configure discovery, connection acceptance, or exposure of your local storage directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="enforcement">4. Enforcement</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HoneyPeer may investigate suspected violations involving our Sites or distribution systems and may suspend access,
|
|
block IPs, remove materials, or report to law enforcement.
|
|
Because BridgeSwarm connections are direct peer-to-peer, HoneyPeer generally has no visibility into and
|
|
cannot unilaterally terminate individual peer sessions; enforcement is typically limited to denying
|
|
access to HoneyPeer-operated download, documentation, or extension-store listings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="reporting">5. Reporting abuse</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Report abuse of HoneyPeer Sites or brand misuse to
|
|
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
|
|
Copyright notices: see <a href="/legal/copyright">Copyright & DMCA</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="changes">6. Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>We may update this AUP by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date.</p>
