Can I advertise fan made youtube/tiktok/twitter videos in my game with links to original post?

Hello, I feel as though I will bring my community togeather better by advertising fan made videos. I have a gui that shows the “Top Videos of the week” which shows the top videos created the week before. I’m doing this in my game Furry Detector 2.0, as I feel like it would bring growth to my player base and push my players to make videos so that my game may gain free marketing.

here is the gui:


NOTE: there is a link that you can copy and paste into your browser

  1. Directing Users Off-Platform
    When using Roblox, you may not link to any external websites or services, except for : YouTube, Facebook, Discord, Twitter, and Twitch. Links to any of those approved sites must be wrapped in the applicable Policy API or listed in the Social Networks and Social Links settings of your profile or experience description page. Links that appear in locations where the API cannot be deployed - such as text chat - are prohibited. Any other links are prohibited, including:
  • Links that contain Roblox-inappropriate content
  • Partial links, filter-breaking, and permitted website links to non-permitted websites
  • Encouraging others to visit unpermitted external links

For their privacy and safety, we don’t permit users under 13 to share links.

Hello, I saw this and it seems like YouTube and Twitter are both “whitelisted.” I also saw there was some sort of code for it. do I have to include this code? This link is very confusing because there is so much information not related to my subject.

Yeah, its pretty vague. Its a bit of a grey area in the tos

local PolicyService = game:GetService("PolicyService")
local CanWeShowTopStuff = PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
print(CanWeShowTopStuff)
local AllowedToShowThisUser = false

local success,failure = pcall(function()
	local youtube = CanWeShowTopStuff.AllowedExternalLinkReferences.Youtube
	local twitch = CanWeShowTopStuff.AllowedExternalLinkReferences.Twitch
	local facebook = CanWeShowTopStuff.AllowedExternalLinkReferences.Facebook
end)

if not success then
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Frame") then
			v.Blocked.Visible = true
			v.ImageLabel:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

Okay, this is the script I made for blocking content to certain users.

what do you think of the script?

These two are crucial informations.
Wrapped in the Applicable Policy API or Profile or Experience description page.

Do you see the script I made? It should block content for young people using this method.

No in fact its not just for young people, for young people its 100% a ban, but for 13+ you still have to wrap it up either with the API thing or in your profile/experience desc.

you see the code, did I do anything wrong?

How do I know if the user is under 13? Roblox has a bad privacy policy and does not let devs know what age the player is.

also for some reason its saying its 13+ now despite it being for all ages.

Under one circumstance, they allow you to! If someone gives you legal consent, and, it abides by Roblox TOS, yes. The TOS specifies this process deeply, but it doesn’t become impossible. (For everyone’s protection) You just need proper documentation to present, in the event you are moderated because of infringement.
