ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision addresses one of the most actively regulated and publicly scrutinized uses of AI-generated imagery, and users who generate political content without understanding this restriction may face account termination.

Interpretive note: The provision does not define 'political campaigns' or 'influence the outcome of an election,' creating ambiguity regarding whether journalistic, satirical, or editorial content falls within scope.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The guidelines authorize Midjourney to suspend or permanently ban accounts for content violations, including actions that violate the spirit of the rules even when not explicitly enumerated, without committing to a specific appeals process in this document. Users who generate content using the Editor tool face the additional consequence of suspension or banning without refund if they violate guidelines through that feature, as stated explicitly in the Editor section. You can report guideline violations by other users at https://www.midjourney.com/help or through the in-platform report function on the website or Discord.
