Ethics Policy
Transparency isn't a marketing angle — it's a moral stance.
Artists know where their money is coming from. Fans know where their support is going. No hidden formulas, no exploitative algorithms, no smoke-and-mirrors business models.
We stand for human rights
WALRUS.FM is built on the belief that every person deserves safety, dignity, and the freedom to live fully and authentically. Music platforms shape culture — and with that comes responsibility.
LGBTQ+ rights
We stand with LGBTQ+ artists, fans, and communities — not quietly, not conditionally, not "behind the scenes."
We reject hate, discrimination, and policies designed to erase or silence queer and trans people.
WALRUS.FM is, and always will be, a platform where LGBTQ+ creators are seen, respected, affirmed, and celebrated.
Women's rights & reproductive freedom
We support women's rights in every form — bodily autonomy, equal opportunity, equal pay, and equal representation.
We support reproductive freedom, safe access to healthcare, and the work of organizations like Planned Parenthood, which provide essential services to millions of people.
We reject partnerships with companies or institutions that work to limit these rights.
Equity, access & inclusion
We stand with BIPOC communities, immigrants, disabled individuals, and anyone pushed to the margins by systems that weren't built for them.
Our platform, tools, and policies are designed to create opportunities — not barriers.
This isn't politics to us. It's human decency.
How we choose our partners
We don't take money from companies that harm our communities.
We don't partner with organizations that profit from hate, discrimination, or oppression.
We don't stay neutral on issues where neutrality equals complicity.
If you're working against LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, or reproductive freedom, we're not working with you. Period.
How we use technology & data
We don't sell data.
We don't exploit listening habits.
We don't use AI to replace artists or mimic human creativity.
Our technology exists to uplift humans — not to extract value from them.
Creating a platform where everyone thrives
WALRUS.FM is a place where artists from every background can create, connect, earn, and grow without censorship, discrimination, or gatekeeping.
We commit to
Highlighting creators from underrepresented communities
Paying artists fairly and transparently
Building tools accessible to all types of artists — not just the already-powerful
Listening, learning, and evolving our policies based on real community needs
We believe creativity grows in environments where people feel safe, valued, and free.
A forever commitment
This isn't a press release, a campaign moment, or branding language.
This is our identity as a platform — and our promise as humans building it.
WALRUS.FM will always stand with the people who make culture, move culture, and fight to make the world better.
Art deserves freedom.
People deserve rights.
Communities deserve protection.
And our platform will always reflect that.
