Quick Summary
If you've received a moderation prompt on your script, it may be because your content appears to discuss topics restricted under our political content policies. To prevent misuse of our platform, we place some restrictions on what political topics can be discussed with stock avatars.
The good news: you can still create general educational content about political history, movements, and political theory using a stock avatar. In many cases, small wording adjustments are enough to resolve the issue.
However, content diving deeper into political topics can only be generated by users on a Corporate/Enterprise Plan, with the use of a Custom Avatar. This includes content expressing political opinions, analysing political issues, and sharing information about political campaigns and elections.
How to Fix This
If your educational content about historical or theoretical political topics has been rejected, review your script to ensure it:
Presents political figures, movements, and ideologies in an impersonal and neutral tone, with reference only to historical events and verifiable information
Avoids statements that evaluate or express a personal opinion about the effectiveness of a political movement, policy, politician, or political party
Avoids statements that advocate for any political positions or policy stances
Refrains from quoting nationalistic or patriotic slogans unless there is a clear educational context
If rewriting your script toward factual, educational content isn't possible for your use case (for example, if you're creating content for political advocacy, campaigning, or expressing personal political views), switching to a custom avatar and upgrading to an Enterprise plan may allow you to use broader political messaging. You can discuss a wider range of political topics with a custom avatar on an Enterprise plan than with stock avatars.
All political content should also avoid statements supporting, endorsing, or encouraging the manipulation or undermining of democratic processes.

Key Reminder
✍️ Depending on your content, there may be more than one compliant path. Some changes will make your script suitable for stock avatars, while others may still require a personal or studio avatar, an enterprise workspace, or in some cases, may not be supported on the platform.
If your script was flagged, the guidance above should help you understand both how to edit your content and what type of account or avatar is needed to create it successfully. Feel free to make your edits and try again.
