Labels

This document is a reference for the labels used in the SDK.

⚠️ Note: These labels are still in development and may change over time. Not all are currently in use.

Key

Label Preferences

The possible client interpretations for a label.

• ignore Do nothing with the label.
• warn Provide some form of warning on the content (see "On Warn" behavior).
• hide Remove the content from feeds and apply the warning when directly viewed.

Each label specifies which preferences it can support. If a label is not configurable, it must have only own supported preference.

Configurable?

Non-configurable labels cannot have their preference changed by the user.

Flags

Additional behaviors which a label can adopt.

• no-override The user cannot click through any covering of content created by the label.
• adult The user must have adult content enabled to configure the label. If adult content is not enabled, the label must adopt the strictest preference.

On Warn

The kind of UI behavior used when a warning must be applied.

• blur Hide all of the content behind an interstitial.
• blur-media Hide only the media within the content (ie images) behind an interstitial.
• alert Display a descriptive warning but do not hide the content.
• null Do nothing.
