Grice’s Maxims of Conversation: The Principles of Effective Communication
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, and its respective domains require its users to conform their conversations and communications to the principles of Grice's Maxims of Conversation. Those four Maxims are:
- The maxim of quantity, where one tries to be as informative as one possibly can, and gives as much information as is needed, and no more.
- The maxim of quality, where one tries to be truthful, and does not give information that is false or that is not supported by evidence.
- The maxim of relation, where one tries to be relevant, and says things that are pertinent to the discussion.
- The maxim of manner, when one tries to be as clear, as brief, as polite, and as orderly as one can in what one says, and where one avoids obscurity and ambiguity.
As the maxims stand, there may be an overlap, as regards the length of what one says, between the maxims of quantity and manner; this overlap can be explained (partially if not entirely) by thinking of the maxim of quantity (artificial though this approach may be) in terms of units of information. In other words, if the listener needs, let us say, five units of information from the speaker, but gets less, or more than the expected number, then the speaker is breaking the maxim of quantity. However, if the speaker gives the five required units of information, but is either too curt or long-winded in conveying them to the listener, then the maxim of manner is broken. The dividing line however, may be rather thin or unclear, and there are times when we may say that both the maxims of quantity and quality are broken by the same factors.
Any and all violations of these principles will be determined solely by the Owner upon review of relevant posts. Users will be given the opportunity to conform their posts to Maxims of Conversation after the first warning. Second and subsequent warnings will subject the user's posts and account to being deleted and/or permanently banned.
Editorial policies
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, reserves the right to de-list, ban, de-activate, feature, highlight, categorize or otherwise adjust the way in which user-uploaded content is viewed, browsed or searched on the Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, websites. In addition, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, may, at its own discretion, pre-pend video advertising or post-pend video advertising during an end-user's viewing of the video content.
As a general rule, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, will de-list or ban content that overtly attacks or endangers LIFE or LIBERTY.
In the interests of encouraging a civil platform for debate and discourse, content that names and aggressively attacks, smears or slanders individuals who are active members of Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, may be banned or de-listed. (See more details below.)
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, asks content creators to post content using a real name: Either your individual name or the real name of your organization. Real names are not verified, and this rule is largely ignored if you are merely posting positive-oriented or how-to content. However, content which makes specific accusations against individuals or organizations may receive more scrutiny, and if it is discovered that videos are being posted using a false identity, that channel may be disabled. (See more detail below, as there are exceptions for confirmed whistleblowers who need anonymity for protection to expose corruption.)
Note that these guidelines are merely a starting point and will be updated many times to encompass the wide variety of content we expect to see posted on Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,.
Disallowed content on Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,:
Content that is subject to being delisted or banned includes (but is not limited to):
1) CONTENT WHICH VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW
Because Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, operates inside the United States, it must abide by U.S. laws concerning the legality of content. Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, disallows content which promotes or advocates criminal acts such as bomb-making, terrorism, death threats, arson, child porn and so on. This is not a complete list.
Where federal law is unconstitutional or stands in violation of basic human rights -- such as federal prohibition of cannabis -- Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, sides with Natural Law, which supersedes artificial government laws. In other words, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, welcomes -- but does not specifically recruit or call for -- videos depicting the hydroponic production of cannabis, for example, even in regions where federal law prohibits possession of cannabis. This is because such federal laws stand in violation of basic human rights (access to natural plant medicine).
Similarly, because the right to self-defense is a Natural Law reflected throughout Mother Nature, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, welcomes -- but does not specifically recruit or call for -- videos depicting the possession of firearms for the purpose of self-defense, even if filmed or uploaded from regions where such possession may be deemed illegal by applicable law.
2) CONTENT WHICH VIOLATES LOCAL LAW IN THE LOCAL JURISDICTION
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, geo-restricts content which has been deemed illegal in local jurisdictions. For example, "Holocaust denial" videos -- a term which is not well defined even by those who ban such videos -- are geo-restricted in 15 countries where denial of the Holocaust has been deemed a criminal offense.
Other countries have blasphemy laws against mocking religious leaders, and for that reason, such videos are geo-restricted in those countries.
In order for the Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, platform to continue to exist in these countries. Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, takes active steps to geo-restrict videos that are believed to violate local or national laws.
3) CONTENT WHICH ADVOCATES VIOLENT AGGRESSION - OR GROUPS ESPOUSING VIOLENT AGGRESSION - TOWARD PEOPLE OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT DON'T DESERVE IT
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, supports freedom of speech with reasonable constitutional limits. For example, content which promotes racist KKK activities or organizations with a history of advocating violent aggression (such as Antifa or the DEA) are not allowed, unless posted in the context of news, criticism or public commentary on such activities (subject to review and interpretation by Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,).
In contrast to the above, depictions of violence in the context of protecting life or liberty is allowed. For example, a video of citizen shooting an attacker in self-defense is allowed.
Similarly, if a violent Antifa terrorist is caught on video bashing people on their skulls using a bike lock (their favorite weapon), and an armed patriot shoots the Antifa terrorist in the face with a .45 auto in an act of self-defense, that video will certainly be allowed.
4) CONTENT WHICH PROMOTES OR DEPICTS CRUELTY AGAINST LIVING BEINGS
No content is allowed which depicts cruelty against living beings, including unjustified animal cruelty or human torture. These acts are widely considered to be criminal acts, and videos depicting such acts are not allowed on Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,. Hunting videos are allowed if they do not depict the suffering of animals. Self-defense shooting videos are allowed if the defensive shooting is justified to halt violence or for purposes of public education to help teach individuals how to defend their life, liberty and property against violent aggressors.
This section also covers content which promotes suicide, mass shootings, etc. For example, if a disturbed teenager posts a video claiming he is taking antidepressant drugs and feels like shooting up his local school with a shotgun, such a video would be disallowed. The interpretation of this is up to Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, personnel and may be subject to change, depending on a variety of factors, including compliance with local laws.
5) CONTENT DEEMED GENOCIDAL / ANTI-HUMAN / EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO SOCIETY
Content that promotes harmful ideologies that have historically lead to genocide or mass murder is not allowed. For this reason, content promoting Marxism, socialism, Satanism, communism and other harmful belief systems is not allowed on Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,. (Such ideologies have resulted in the deaths of over 262 million people worldwide in the last century.)
The interpretation of this rule will be in the sole discretion of Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,, which strives to protect speech to the fullest. Nevertheless, use of the Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, platform to promote anti-human, genocidal or extremely harmful ideologies that have been historically tied to mass human suffering and murder is not allowed.
NOTE: POLICY ON CRYPTOCURRENCY VIDEOS:
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, supports "decentralization" innovation, which includes cryptocurrencies. Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,'s overall policy is to allow open discussion of cryptocurrencies, ICOs and the decentralization of money, and it is generally our belief that end users bear the burden of taking responsibility for their own actions when it comes to making financial decisions. At the same time, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, reserves the right to ban or de-list videos which are deemed to be promoting a fraudulent scam of any kind, which in the interpretation of Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, may subject its public viewers to risk of being defrauded or scammed. For example, videos posted by "Nigerian inheritance scammers" would of course be banned.
6) CONTENT WHICH ATTACKS, SLANDERS OR SMEARS OTHER MEMBERS OF Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,
In the interests of civility, we aim to provide a platform from which independent media personalities may post videos without fear of being unfairly attacked or defamed by others on the same platform. In essence, we aim to provide a platform where each individual has a right to speak without being viciously attacked, shouted down or heckled by other members on the platform who seemingly don't have their own ideas (but have plenty of time to attack everyone else).
In addition, we fully recognize that government-run operatives will attempt to launch thousands of sock puppet accounts and post videos to smear indy media personalities and sow discord.
In order to help halt sock puppet "slander videos" targeting indy media, we are launching Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, with an unusual rule, which is that no content may attack, by name, other members of Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, except in limited circumstances in which the person being attacked is irrefutably involved in disinfo, fraud, criminal behavior or other egregious activities that harm society as a whole (this is all subject to interpretation by Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, moderators).
In addition, videos which sharply criticize big government bureaucrats, the fake news media, corrupt lawmakers and other elements of the "establishment" are welcomed, but not specifically encouraged. This includes education, science, medicine, law, Wall Street and more.
7) CONTENT FROM ANONYMOUS SOURCES*
Except in the rare case of "whistleblower status" that we may grant to certain verified whistleblowers, content from anonymous sources (i.e. no real name, no visible face on the video, and no recognizable voice) may be disallowed if such content makes defamatory accusations against individuals or organizations who are either members of Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, or members of the real media (independent media).
The point of this rule, which is of course subject to change, is to halt anonymous troll videos which are primarily posted by government-funded operatives attempting to discredit independent media and decentralized technology companies they don't control.
We also believe that an individual who is accused of something should be able to face their accuser and identify them. Thus, anonymous accusations are generally disallowed except in very limited circumstances.
* Certain accounts may be granted whistleblower status via a process we are not making public. This is reserved for truly anonymous sources in the vein of Wikileaks or similar organizations whose lives would be jeopardized by their identities being known.
8) CONTENT BELIEVED TO BE POSTED BY DEEP STATE OPERATIVES FOR THE PURPOSE OF SPREADING DISINFORMATION
For obvious reasons, this category of disallowed content is difficult to define. Essentially, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, recognizes that deep state operators running "sock puppet" accounts will attempt to infiltrate and exploit the Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, platform to sow chaos, distrust and paranoia across independent media. Any videos which Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, believes to be engaged in such tactics may be subject to being de-listed or banned.
Context and interpretation of intent
While each moderation decision is subject to reasonable interpretation, content which depicts any of the "disallowed" scenarios listed elsewhere MAY be allowed if presented in the context of condemning such acts, analyzing current events from a newsworthy perspective, or showing snippets of acts of evil for purposes of education or commentary.
For example, a video depicting a group of street thugs viciously attacking a uniformed police officer may be allowed if presented in the context of important news and commentary on such heinous acts. However, if such videos are posted as gratuitous "kill the pigs" videos to celebrate the murder of cops, the video would be disallowed.
Similarly, if a pro-civil liberties video contains a few seconds of a KKK racist mob screaming "kill the n-@@--s!" as part of a documentary-style educational video highlighting the destructive history of such groups, that video would be allowed even though the exact same clip would be banned if presented in the context of advocating the murdering of people based on the color of their skin.
In other words, CONTEXT MATTERS. The intent of the video presenter is estimated by moderators and taken into account during all moderation decisions. If, in the view of the moderator, the purpose of a particular video is to promote violence or harmful content, that video may be delisted or banned. At the same time, if the purpose is education or newsworthy commentary, such a video is unlikely to be delisted or banned.
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, allows, but does not specifically request, videos and posts that rationally criticize LGBT narratives. Unlike other public platforms, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, does not automatically interpret criticism of transgenderism, for example, to be "hate speech." Additionally, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, considers the use of the word "nigger" to be a violation of its guidelines on hate speech when it's used to attack or denigrate any other individual; but, when it's used in the context of opinion or commentary that condemns the use of the word, the post will be allowed although the word "nigger" will be replaced by a neutral word to indicate the word was removed.
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, content "editorial functions" are protected by the Communications Decency Act (CDA), Section 230
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act states that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."
Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, is a provider of an interactive computer service. CDA section 230 means that Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, is not liable for, nor responsible for user content posted to the site, including user videos and user comments.
In accordance with "editorial functions" which remain protected under section 230, Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, may de-list, de-activate, ban, feature or highlight user-based content based entirely on Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites,'s interpretation of which content is appropriate for end users. As the Fourth Circuit noted (https://ilt.eff.org/Defamation__CDA_Cases.html):
[L]awsuits seeking to hold a service liable for its exercise of a publisher's traditional editorial functions – such as deciding whether to publish, withdraw, postpone or alter content – are barred. The purpose of this statutory immunity is not difficult to discern. Congress recognized the threat that tort-based lawsuits pose to freedom of speech in the new and burgeoning Internet medium. . . . Section 230 was enacted, in part, to maintain the robust nature of Internet communication.
Numerous courts have agreed. See Carafano v. Metrosplash.com, Inc., 339 F.3d 1119, 1124 (9th Cir. 2003) ("So long as a third party willingly provides the essential published content, the interactive service provider receives full immunity [under Section 230] regardless of the specific editing or selection process."); Ben Ezra, 206 F.3d at 985-986 (deleting of information did not transform ICS provider into "information content provider"); Schneider, 31 P.3d at 39-43 (website not liable despite right to edit posted matter).
While Section 230(f)(3)'s definition of an information content provider includes "any person ... that is responsible ... for the creation or development of information," the inclusion of "development" does not prohibit editorial activities. "Development requires material substantive contribution to the information that is ultimately published. Deleting profanity, selectively deleting or allowing to remain certain postings, and commenting favorably or unfavorably on some postings, without changing the substance of the message authored by another, does not constitute "development" within the meaning of § 230(f)(3)." Donato v. Moldow, 374 N.J. Super. 475, 865 A.2d 711, 727-728 (N.J. Super. A.D. 2005). Moreover, failing to remove a posting after being put on notice of the posting's potentially defamatory nature, constitutes an editorial function and thus falls within the immunity provided by section 230. Global Royalties, Ltd. v. Xcentric Ventures, LLC, 544 F. Supp. 2d 929 (D. Ariz. 2008). Universal Commc'n Sys., Inc. v. Lycos, 478 F.3d 413, 420 (1st Cir. 2007).
While encouraging self-regulation, Section 230 "does not require [information content providers] to restrict speech; rather, it allows [them] to establish standards of decency without risking liability for doing so." Green v. American Online, Inc., 318 F.3d 465, (3rd Cir. 2003); see also Blumenthal, 992 F. Supp. at 52 ("Congress has conferred immunity from tort liability as an incentive to Internet service providers to self-police the Internet for obscenity and other offensive material, even where the self-policing is unsuccessful or not even attempted."); Barrett, 40 Cal. 4th at 34 (Section 230's protection "applies even when self-regulation is unsuccessful, or completely unattempted").

If Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, hasn't been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms through binding arbitration or (for qualifying claims) in small claims court.
You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Maxm.Network, including all Maxm websites, are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
