Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you get to upload or post whatever you want to Genius—we reserve the right to remove content, including uploaded songs or texts, that are purposefully created with the intention of harming marginalized people or groups, contain excessive hate speech, and/or contain harmful baseless conspiracy theories.

This list is not exhaustive and may be updated from time to time but in order to better educate our community, Genius defines hate speech as language that is derogatory and/or discriminatory towards a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, ethnicity, origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, sex, age, mental illness, socioeconomic class, or body type.January 11, 2022New Mod: LGFDecember 15, 2021New Mod: loveholicDecember 7, 2021New Mod: jambiNovember 4, 2021Proposal: Transcriber RoleNovember 2, 20212021 Genius Community Engagement Survey ResultsOctober 27, 2021Song Page Redesign UpdateLyric edit proposals now available on the new page, lyrics are now in parity with the old design, plus two small quality of life improvements for transcription.October 25, 2021New Mod: ekteleneOctober 15, 2021Next Steps: Genius Team, Community Hangout, & Site RoadmapA new survey is also available to let us know what changes you'd like to see that you think are the most important.
