Content Moderation Practices by Mozilla

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 16 Dec 2025

The Mozilla Content Moderation policy explains how user-generated content across Mozilla products is reviewed, moderated, and appealed, including reporting processes, enforcement actions, and safeguards for fairness and due process. It is issued and maintained by Mozilla, with clearly defined human review processes, escalation paths to Trust & Safety and Legal teams, and alignment with applicable laws and product-specific policies.

Content Moderation at [company name]

Last Updated [date of last update]

Content rules

[company name] offers several products that allow users to share and exchange content — including original text and images, third party web pages or articles, and software applications. Content shared through those products, or anywhere in the [company name] Community, must comply with the applicable content policies.

All products must comply with [company name] ’s Acceptable Use Policies. In addition, content shared on [company platform] is subject to the [company platform] Policies; and content shared in the [company maketplace] Marketplace is subject to the [policy name] Policies. New and experimental products that host user-generated content may have their own content policies: when using one of these products, please check the product’s home page or review its Terms of Service to learn which content policies apply.

How we moderate

[company name] seeks to create a vibrant online community that welcomes contributors and visitors from all communities, nationalities, and backgrounds. Our content moderation efforts reflect that goal.

Each applicable [company name] product allows users to report content that is illegal, or that violates the governing policies. A human reviews each content-related report that we receive. Content policy violations on AMO and [company platform] are assessed by a dedicated team of human moderators. Content policy and Acceptable Use Policy violations for other products are reviewed by members of the applicable product teams. In certain cases, reports of illegal content will be reviewed by a member of our Legal team. Add-ons that have been reported for technical or AMO Policy violations, as well as feedback that we receive about add-ons hosted on AMO, will be assessed by a human on the AMO product team. This assessment will generally involve reviewing the listing, as well as the add-on’s codebase and features.

Where we receive duplicative reports about the same piece of content, we will do a single review and will notify later reporters that the content has already been assessed, rather than reviewing and responding separately to each report.

Moderation decisions

When a moderator determines that content does not violate our policies, we will notify the reporter of that determination and will take no action against the content. In most cases, we will provide the reporter the opportunity to appeal.

When a moderator finds that one of our policies has been violated, they will take the action dictated by that policy, including:

adding a content warning,

removing the content, or

suspending the account.

We will notify both the reporter and the user that a violation was found, and we will provide the user the opportunity to appeal.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
