How do I ensure my social posts with a graphic generation app are compliant?

To keep social posts made with a graphic generation app compliant, use this checklist:

1. Check the app’s terms and output rights

   • Confirm you’re allowed to use the generated graphics commercially.
   • Review whether the app trains on, or includes, third-party assets with extra restrictions.

2. Verify licenses for every asset

   • Fonts, stock photos, icons, illustrations, and music all need proper rights.
   • Don’t assume “available in the app” means “free for all uses.”

3. Avoid copyrighted or trademarked content unless permitted

   • Don’t use logos, brand names, movie characters, celebrity likenesses, or protected artwork without permission.
   • Be careful with “inspired by” prompts that may produce near-copies.

4. Check platform-specific rules

   • Each social platform has its own rules for ads, giveaways, health claims, political content, and branded content disclosures.
   • If it’s sponsored, use the required disclosure like #ad or platform tools.

5. Watch for privacy and consent issues

   • Don’t include personal data, faces, or user content unless you have consent.
   • Be cautious with images of minors or sensitive locations.

6. Substantiate claims

   • If your post makes a product, financial, health, or performance claim, keep proof handy.
   • Avoid misleading before/after images or exaggerated results.

7. Follow accessibility standards

   • Add alt text where supported.
   • Ensure sufficient color contrast and readable text sizes.

8. Use a review workflow

   • Have a human review each post for legal, brand, and compliance issues before publishing.
   • Keep a record of source assets, permissions, and approvals.

9. Apply brand safety rules

   • Avoid sensitive topics, offensive imagery, or unsafe associations.
   • Make sure AI-generated content doesn’t accidentally include harmful stereotypes or inappropriate content.

10. Consult counsel for regulated industries

• If you’re in finance, healthcare, alcohol, gambling, or employment, get legal/compliance review before posting.

If you want, I can turn this into a one-page compliance checklist or tailor it for a specific platform like Instagram, LinkedIn, or TikTok.
