We need to curb abuses that threaten our ability to provide the service, and we ask that everyone abide by the following policies to help us achieve this goal. We may review content for violations of these policies and take action. This review includes access restriction of content, removal of content, and limitation or termination of a user's access to Google products. Any restrictions pursuant to these policies apply globally unless noted otherwise.
When these policies apply, Google may make exceptions based on artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific considerations, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public to not take action on the content.
Report abuse
If you believe that someone is violating any of the following policies, you can report abuse.
Reporting abuse doesn't guarantee removal of the content or any other action on Google's part. Content that you disagree with or deem inappropriate isn't always a violation of Google's Terms of Service or program policies. After you submit the report, Google may contact you to learn more about the report's content.
To report copyright infringement or other legal issues, use the legal troubleshooter, which will guide you through the process of reporting content that you believe warrants removal from Google's services based on applicable laws.

Harassment
Don't harass, bully, or threaten others. We also don't allow this product to be used to engage or incite others in these activities. This includes singling someone out for malicious abuse, threatening someone with serious harm, sexualizing someone in an unwanted way, exposing private information of someone else that could be used to carry out threats, disparaging or belittling targets of violence or tragedy, inciting others to carry out these activities, or harassing someone in other ways. Keep in mind that online harassment is illegal in many places and can have serious offline consequences for both the harasser and the target. We may take appropriate action if we are notified of threats of harm or other dangerous situations, which may include reporting you to the relevant authorities, removing access to some of our products, or disabling your Google Account.
Hate speech
Don't engage in hate speech. Hate speech is content that promotes or condones violence against or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization.
Pornography or nudity
Don't distribute content that contains sexually explicit material, such as nudity, graphic sex acts, and pornographic material. This includes driving traffic to commercial pornography sites. We allow nudity for educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic purposes.
Illegal content
Legal standards vary greatly by country or region. Content that violates a specific law in one country/region may be legal in others. Typically, we remove or restrict access to the content only in the country or region where it is deemed to be illegal. When content is found to violate Google's content or product policies or Terms of Service, however, we typically remove or restrict access globally.
Copyright
Respect copyright laws. Don't share copyrighted content without authorization or provide links to sites where people can obtain unauthorized downloads of copyrighted content. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. Repeated infringement of intellectual property rights, including copyright, will result in account termination. If you see a violation of Google's copyright policies, report copyright infringement.
