Reporting and Moderation Tools
SIPP provides in-app tools that allow users to report User Content and activity that may violate these Terms.
User content available through the app, including posts, comments, reviews, profiles, and shops, can be reported from within the app for review by SIPP.
Users may also block other users. Blocking a user immediately hides that user's content from the blocking user's feed, search results, and other applicable areas of the app. The blocked user is not notified that they have been blocked.
Users can manage accounts they have blocked through Settings → Blocked Users.
SIPP may also use technical and moderation measures to detect, filter, restrict, or remove objectionable content.

We review reports of objectionable content and abusive behavior and will act on such reports within 24 hours.
When we determine that content violates these Terms, we may remove or restrict the offending content.
