community standards
Shared behavioral expectations
Community standards are the norms a group uses to determine what behavior or content is acceptable.
The phrase appears most often in two contexts: obscenity law, where local community standards help courts decide what counts as obscene, and online platforms, where community standards (or community guidelines) govern what users may post.
