Kirkuk Safety Rules Update
Summary
In the Kirkuk Governorate server this announcement sets new safety rules: do not mention specific cities under 300k, neighbourhoods, streets or addresses; never arrange meetups with strangers from the server; and avoid sharing vulnerable identity details like sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sect. These measures protect members from targeting by state actors or militias and preserve community privacy.
New rules:
- Never mention your specific city (if under 300k people) or ur specific neighbourhood, street, address etc
- Never attempt to hang out with people from this server whom you don't know irl
- Never mention vulnerable parts of your identity to people who you don't know. This includes sexuality, gender identity and even ethnicity, religion or sect in some cases.
These rules are here to prevent people from attempting to ruin your life (or worse) and to protect your privacy.
Iraq is not a safe space for everyone. Even one simple interest you have can make you a target, even if its unrelated to their reasoning. News reports have shown people going undercover on social media to catch vulnerable minorities and report them to the state or militias.
Please stay safe everyone <3
