Illicit & Regulated

Illicit policies cover content that’s either outright illegal or falls into categories that are regulated, age-restricted, or commonly disallowed by platform terms. Most also support image, video, and audio so you can moderate uploads as well as text.

const cannabis = response.policies.find(p => p.id === "cannabis");
if (cannabis?.flagged) {
  // Block in regions where it's illegal; allow elsewhere.
}

These categories are independent. Enable only the ones that match your jurisdiction and product. For example, a cannabis-focused community would disable cannabis but keep illicit_drugs enabled.
