Payments And Abuse

Payments are part of Trust and Safety because abuse can threaten payment channels, support operations, and user trust.

Provider Rules

Global payment providers may restrict illegal, harmful, fraudulent, violent, abusive, or deceptive use cases. Product availability, billing flows, refunds, chargebacks, and hosted-content rules must stay aligned with provider expectations.

Early Payment Posture

• Global Stripe-first posture.
• International cards and supported payment methods where available.
• No early promise of local RMB payments.
• No early promise of local invoices.
• No early promise of local customer service.
• No early promise of ICP filing.
• No early promise of China-local public UGC.

Product Boundary

Billing should not launch faster than the support, abuse, refund, and account-operation capacity required to sustain it.
