Quick Summary
If you’ve received a moderation prompt on your script, it may be because your content appears to be discussing topics restricted under our Political Content policies.
To prevent misuse of our platform, our policies place some restrictions on what political topics can be discussed with our Stock Avatars.
All users can use our Stock Avatars to create general educational content about historical events involving political entities, movements, politicians and influential political theorists.
However, content diving deeper into political topics can only be generated by users on a Corporate 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 political events has been rejected, you may need to review your script to:
Ensure political figures, movements and ideologies are presented in an impersonal and neutral tone, with reference only to historical events and information
Avoid statements which evaluate or express a personal opinion towards the effectiveness of a political movement, policy, politician or political party
Avoid statements which advocate for any political positions or policy stances
Refrain from quoting nationalistic or patriotic slogans, unless there is a clear educational context for this
If it isn’t possible to make these changes, or you wish to create content for other purposes such as political advocacy or campaigning, you may be able to create your content if you upgrade to a Corporate Plan and switch to a Custom Avatar.

Key Reminder
✍️ Synthesia supports the responsible creation of political content, from historical education and political theory to corporate communications and civic awareness. This guidance exists to ensure that content is accurate, neutral, and appropriately framed, not to limit the topics you can explore.
If your script was flagged, try applying one of the rewording patterns above and regenerate. If your content goes beyond general educational framing, a Corporate Plan with a Custom Avatar gives you the flexibility you need.
