Copyright & Social Media Takedown Policy

Roven News (rovennews.com) operates as a premier digital news aggregator. Our core mission is to "spread the word" about significant happenings in Nigeria and the global community by curating impactful content from across the digital landscape.

1. Scope of Content Aggregation

To provide our readers with a 360-degree view of breaking news, we share, embed, and curate publicly available media from various social streams, including but not limited to:

• Video Platforms: YouTube, TikTok, and Vimeo.

• Social Networks: Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Threads.

• Messaging Channels: Public Telegram and WhatsApp news broadcasts.

2. Content Ownership & Attribution

Roven News does not claim ownership of third-party content.

• Embedding: We prioritize the use of official "Embed" features provided by platforms (YouTube, X, Instagram, etc.). This ensures that original creators retain all views, engagement metrics, and potential ad revenue.

• Curation: Content shared from these streams is used for Informational, Commentary, and News Reporting purposes under the "Fair Use" doctrine.

3. Information for Creators & Rights Holders

We recognize the effort that goes into content creation. If your content has been featured on Roven News and you wish to change how it is displayed, we offer two paths:

1. Enhanced Credit: We can update the post to include more prominent links to your social media profiles to help grow your audience.

2. Prompt Removal: If you prefer that your content not be shared on our platform, we respect your decision.

4. How to Request a Takedown

If you are the legal owner of a video, image, or post featured on our site and wish for its removal, please contact our Compliance Team via email at admin@rovennews.com

To process your request quickly, please include:

• Direct Link: The URL of the Roven News article containing your content.

• Source Verification: A link to your original post (TikTok, X, Facebook, etc.) to confirm ownership.

• Declaration: A brief statement confirming that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

5. Processing Timeline

Once a valid takedown request is received and verified, our technical team will remove the content within 24 to 48 hours.

🖋️ The Roven News Editorial Take

"In the age of viral news, Roven News acts as the bridge between social media noise and verified reporting. By including TikTok, X, and Instagram in our policy, we are acknowledging that news happens everywhere—from a thread on X to a live video on Facebook.

 

This policy isn't just a legal shield; it’s a 'Creator’s Compact.' We want to amplify your voice, but we will never do it at the expense of your rights. If you’re a creator, Roven News is your megaphone—and if you want the mic back, we hand it over without question."
