Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use this site. By visiting or using our tools, you agree to them. If you don’t, please close the tab and go stream All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (opens in a new tab) instead.

Our Policies
Acceptable Use
- No harassment, spam, or illegal activity. (Yes, that means no acting like it’s January 6th.)
- No automated mass-submission via this tool. We don’t provide it, and we don’t want to get Bad Blood (opens in a new tab) over it.
- Be respectful. If Taylor can keep dropping albums without subtweeting half of Congress, you can comment without being cruel.
Eligibility
This site is intended for users 13 years or older. If you’re younger, please enjoy your youth and go listen to Never Grow Up (opens in a new tab) . Come back when you’re older and ready to take on bureaucracy.
Generated Content & Responsibility
We provide drafting tools to help you create comments. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and submitting your final comment. Use your judgment; don’t submit anything you wouldn’t sign your name to.
Intellectual Property
The site’s code, design, and text are for your personal and civic use. Don’t misrepresent our work as your own. References to government materials remain public domain.
Third-Party Links
Our tools help you draft comments, but the actual submission happens on regulations.gov (opens in a new tab) . We don’t control that site or its rules—think Ticketmaster: we hate it too, but that’s where the show happens. Once you leave this site, their terms and policies apply. If they fumble the ball, don’t blame us. (You can always call Congress at (202) 224-3121.)
External Content (Embeds & Links)
We may link to or embed third-party content (news outlets, TikToks, YouTubes, memes, etc.). We don’t control that content and aren’t responsible for it. Their terms and privacy policies apply once you click or watch. The internet will internet.
No Affiliation
GovTok is an independent project. We are not affiliated with TikTok, ByteDance, or any social platform, no matter how much we doomscroll. Names, brands, and organizations belong to their owners. If we ever have official partners, we’ll say so clearly.
Community Conduct
We encourage thoughtful, respectful contributions. As Taylor put it: You Need to Calm Down (opens in a new tab) . No trolling, harassment, or petty fights. We have enough of that from both major parties.
Warranty & Liability
This site is provided “as is.” We can’t guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation (unlike a certain politician who can’t guarantee an error-free rant). To the maximum extent permitted by law, we’re not liable for damages arising from your use of the site.
Indemnification
You agree to use the site lawfully and to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the site or the content you submit.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if someone abuses this site or brings persistent bad vibes. If that happens, we’ll just say We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (opens in a new tab) .
Dispute Resolution
We prefer dialogue first. If needed, disputes will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and resolved in courts located in Arlington, Virginia. We promise not to drag things out longer than a Trump rally speech.
Severability
If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest still applies—like a group project where at least someone did the work.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time and will post changes here.
Contact
