We continuously update our human rights policies in accordance with the changing environment of content, technology, and business, provide training to streamers and others on human rights violation prevention, and identify actual and potential human rights risks through communication channels.

Provisions on the Elimination of Human Rights Abuses
in Streamer Contracts
To help eradicate the negative human rights impacts that may arise from our content, SOOP has added a clause to its streamer contracts since June 2023 to address human rights violations. This clause strictly prohibits the creation of content that violates human rights, including human trafficking, forced labor, child exploitation, and repression based on religion, race, nationality, or gender, and will be grounds for termination if a streamer violates it. This provision applies to all streamers who renew or sign new contracts after June 2023.
Human Rights Abuse Issues for Termination
- Human Trafficking
- Forced Labor
- Child Labor
- Oppression on a Religious, Racial, Gender or Nationality Group
Human Rights Training for Streamers
SOOP operates a dedicated educational page to train streamers. The page provides guidance on creating broadcasts for new and junior streamers, along with detailed information on human rights protection, including topics such as violation of others’ rights, defamation, harmful content for children, and illegal broadcasting. Our goal is to encourage streamers to comply with SOOP’s operating policies, and to help them avoid any obstacles in their future careers.

The system includes special procedures to handle various grievances in prompt and accurate manner, and optimized specialized systems and rules to protect the privacy and rights of streamers. In addition, to protect the youth from harmful information, SOOP has designated a youth protection officer and a person in charge of youth protection and provides necessary communication networks.
