Policy
Platform policy, in plain English.
We treat platform safety as a product feature. Here is what we do per policy, and what we will not do, ever.
YouTube, January 2025: Inauthentic Content policy
YouTube updated its Inauthentic Content policy in January 2025. Mass-produced or repetitive content, automated voiceovers on slideshow B-roll with no original commentary, and AI-generated content presented as real human commentary without disclosure are explicitly demonetised or removed.
What Slipstream does:
- Originality scoring rejects scripts below 70 percent original phrasing against source URLs.
- Synthesised voiceovers are tagged as such in the YouTube uploader API. The "altered or synthetic content" flag is set automatically when voice cloning is in use.
- Every video has a human approval step. We pass
contentDetails.contentRatingas appropriate. No pure-bot uploads. - We do not produce slideshow content with no commentary. The script structure enforces hook, body beats, payoff, outro.
Instagram, August 2025: Original Content policy
Meta updated its original content signal in August 2025. Reposts, low-effort AI compositions, and accounts that reshare without adding original commentary are downranked. Creators who post original content are boosted.
What Slipstream does:
- Captions are unique per platform. We do not post identical captions across YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
- B-roll selection is varied per video, with no single shot longer than 4 seconds.
- AI labels are set per Meta's
content_labelfield via Graph API. We mark synthesised audio and synthesised visuals where applicable. - We rate-limit posting cadence per account age, so newly automated accounts ramp organically rather than burst-posting.
LinkedIn's policy is less prescriptive about synthetic media, but their relevance model penalises duplicated content. We use the LinkedIn Marketing API and post a per-platform variant with a tailored caption and the optional companion carousel for additional reach.
X
X allows synthetic media with disclosure under their Authenticity policy. We tag synthetic media via the X API media_metadata labels when applicable. X integration is optional and disabled by default.
Voice cloning, the only voice we will clone is yours
Voice cloning requires a 5 minute sample of your own voice plus a signed consent recording. We store the consent receipt with a timestamp and signature hash. ElevenLabs, the synthesis layer, enforces the same at their end. We will not clone a public figure's voice. We will not clone a deceased person. We will not clone any voice that is not yours.
What gets a script rejected
Some categories never get rendered:
- Medical advice without an "I am not a doctor, consult a professional" disclaimer on-screen.
- Financial advice without an "Not SEBI registered, not financial advice" disclaimer for Indian finance content. SEC equivalents elsewhere.
- Legal advice in the same vein.
- Impersonation of named public figures.
- Content involving minors in any non-educational context.
- Adult content. Hate speech. Targeted harassment. Self-harm content.
Copyright
Every render runs an audio fingerprint check against major label catalog before approval is enabled. Music comes from licensed libraries (Mubert, Epidemic Sound, licence-free). B-roll comes from Pexels, Pixabay, and Storyblocks under their licence terms. User-uploaded face clips are owned by the user. Stock licence metadata is stored per asset.
DPDP compliance, Indian users
Indian users' data is stored in the Mumbai region (ap-south-1) per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Privacy notice and data principal rights are published. A grievance officer is appointed.
Grievance officer reachable at grievance@slipstream.video. Response within 30 days per DPDP requirements.
What we will never do
- Promise virality. Performance is never guaranteed.
- Generate content that violates a platform's policy on purpose.
- Sell your scripts, voiceovers, videos, or analytics to any third party.
- Auto-post anything you have not approved.
- Train any general-purpose model on your data.
