- Dangerous Content: Content that promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activities
Google Gemini AI's safety filters are configured to block content with LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH probability of harm in these categories. Content that violates these policies will be rejected, and you will receive an error message indicating that the content violates our content policy.
