Advise users to avoid posting any content that could be construed as obscene, defamatory, or insulting to political leaders, religious figures, or communities. Stick to neutral, non-controversial topics. If discussing politics, use only factual statements without personal attacks.

For content creators, recommend pre-publication legal review by an Indian lawyer specializing in cyber law, and avoid any content related to religion, caste, or specific politicians.
