Moderation Policy and Exchange Rules

1. Scope and mission

This moderation policy applies to all public exchange spaces managed by William Guindon, including:

• The official Facebook page (facebook.com/williamguindon.officiel ↗); ↗
• The professional LinkedIn account (linkedin.com/in/william-guindon ↗); ↗
• The YouTube channel (youtube.com/@william-guindon ↗); ↗
• The official website (williamguindon.me). ↗

These platforms are dedicated to sharing citizen initiatives, legal and environmental popularization, as well as monitoring the SEM-26-003 communication filed with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC). The goal is to foster rigorous, constructive and verifiable public discussion.

2. Discussion principles

Technical questions, sharing of evidence, reasoned critiques, and respectfully expressed disagreements are fully encouraged. Exchanges must remain:

• Courteous and respectful: Interventions must be addressed to the interlocutors with politeness, without animosity;
• Focused on substance: The debates focus on documented facts, scientific studies, BAPE (Québec Bureau of Public Environmental Hearings) data, environmental laws and decisions of CCE (Commission for Environmental Cooperation);
• Sourced and verifiable: The provision of convincing and verifiable references is highly valued.

3. Prohibited behavior and content

To preserve everyone's safety and the holding of discussions, automated keyword filters as well as active moderation are applied on each network. The following elements are systematically hidden or deleted:

3.1. Violations of privacy and security (doxxing)

• Disclosure of private personal data (home addresses, personal numbers, educational institutions, precise location);
• Threats, intimidation, stalking, stalking or inciting harassment online or offline.

3.2. Personal attacks, ageism and denigration

• Disparaging or condescending remarks targeting age, student status or personal background;
• Insults, vulgarities, hateful remarks, jeers and attacks of intent;
• Baseless allegations asserting a loss of independence (unfounded accusations of being a “puppet”, an intermediary or delegating interventions).

3.3. Spam, scams and suspicious links

• External promotional links, commercial solicitations, cryptocurrencies or get-rich-quick offers;
• Questionable URL shorteners, redirects to private messengers or adult content;
• Inauthentic accounts, bot networks and fake profile farms.

3.4. Disinformation and partisan drift

• Defamatory comments, conspiracy theories or blatant fake news;
• Aggressive partisan co-opting aimed at diverting the issue toward political wrangling rather than factual analysis of the laws.

4. Application, moderation and parental supervision

Any comments that violate these rules will be removed without notice.

On Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube, repeat offenses or serious bullying behavior will result in reporting to the host platform and permanent blocking of the account concerned.

Supervision and protection of a minor: In accordance with the policy relating to privacy and the role of parents and under the legal duty of parental protection and assistance (art. 599 of Code civil du Québec (Civil Code of Québec)), public exchange spaces, community moderation and monitoring of communications on official networks are operated under the caring supervision of William's parents. Any defamatory remarks, threats, acts of intimidation or inappropriate solicitation aimed at a minor will be systematically reported to the platforms concerned and, if the seriousness justifies it, to the competent authorities. ↗
